F1: WEBBER WINS THE LAST ROUND

The Aussie broke his duck by winning the Brazilian Grand Prix. It was the 7^th career victory for the Aussie. He also clinched the 3rd place from Fernando Alonso in the driver’s championship standings.

As expected, Sebastian Vettel started from pole and got off to a flying start and managed to open a comfortable gap to the second placed Mark Webber in the early laps of the race but he was asked to be cautious because of a gear box problem. On lap 40 Vettel gave the lead to Webber and focused on nursing his car to reach the chequred flag. He came home in 2^nd place with a comfortable gap of 10 sec’s. The final podium place went to Mclaren’s Jenson Button, Button once again drove a fantastic race, he was overtaken by Fernando Alonso in the 11^th lap but then he drove a solid race and took the position back which he lost earlier in the 62^nd lap by overtaking Alonso. Alonso despite having all the Ferrari team behind him just managed to take 4^th place while his teammate who was celebrating his 100^th race and 10 years with Ferrari took 5^th position. He also entertained his home crowd by making some smoking donuts after the end of the race. Adrian Sutil drove an excellent race and got 6^th position ahead of Mercedes’s Nico Rosberg. Di Rest came 8^th as Force India collected some valuable points in Brazil. Kamui Kobayashi and Vtaly Petrov finished in 9^th and 10^th position respectively.

Micheal Schumacher for the first time this season was not able to entertain us in the opening lap. And even lost a position, he got it back but while passing Bruno Senna at turn 1 they collided and Micheal suffered a puncture as a result. Bruno was given a drive through penalty but Micheal’s race was destroyed. Lewis Hamilton’s poor form or perhaps his real form continued as he retired from the race in the 47^th lap due to a gear box problem. He was in 5^th place at the time of retirement.

This concluded the 2011 Formula 1 season. The championships were already decided so there was little to be decided. I will conduct an analysis of each team and each driver in a short time so till then bye bye and drive safely everyone. . . . . . . . . . . . .
