Mark Webber Collides With Team Mate And Misses The Hat-Trick

Mark Webber missed the hat-trick of victories; He had been heading for his hat-trick after starting on pole position, but unfortunately collided with his team mate Sebastian Vettel 18 laps from the finish. Vettel started the race level on points with Webber at the top of the standings but paid the price for trying to pass the Aussie down the inside on lap 40. The two cars collided, Vettel's right rear tyre deflated and he spun off into retirement while Webber went off track but managed to come back. McLaren completed the one-two finish after that incident. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton celebrated his first win of the season in Turkey on Sunday. Seven time world champion Michael Schumacher missed the podium finish by only one positon, in the next race we could see Schumacher on the podium after a long time. Lets hope for the best.

Mark Webber - On A Hat-Trick Of Victories

Aussie Mark Webber's excellent form continues; he completed an impressive hat-trick of pole positions on Saturday when he clocked the fastest time for Red Bull in qualifying for Sunday's Turkish Grand Prix. The 33-year old drivers' championship leader, winner of the last two races in Spain and Monaco, in the best form of his career and looking forward to complete a hat-trick of race win on Sunday. He has now claimed four pole this season, and the Red Bull team have taken all seven pole this season.

Defending Champion On Top After Shanghai Win

After Ferrari and Red Bull, it was the time for McLaren to finish 1-2. Defending Champion Jenson Button calmly steered his way through the chaos of a wet Chinese grand Prix for his second win of the season on last Sunday.
Lewis Hamilton finished 1.530 seconds behind his compatriot and team mate Jenson Button. It was the first British one-two since 1999.
Once again, seven time world champion Michael Schumacher disappointed us by getting only one point from a wet race, who used to be the master of that condition. We will have to wait for some more days, and I'm sure very soon we will see 'Michael's Magic'.

Red Bull Is Back To 1-2 Finish Business

It was a Red Bull day in Malaysian Grand Prix on last Sunday. It was their first one-two finish of the season. Sebastian Vettel celebrated his sixth career win after two frustrating races in Bahrain and Australia. Not so good result for Ferrari and McLaren. McLarens & Ferraris started on the back four rows of the grid but Hamilton and Massa finished as 6th & 7th after starting from 20th & 21st places of the grid respectively.
Seven times world champion Michael Schumacher once again failed to perform with his non Ferrari team. He had to park his car on the side of the track after 10 laps.
Force India's Adrian Sutil finished a creditable 5th, his best finish of the season and earned 10 points for his team. Excellent job 'Force India'

Jenson Back in The Podiums, Lewis Ready to Conquer Sepang

Sepang Circuit - Malaysian GP

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton is trying to forget his difficult last weekend in Australia by setting the pace in today morning's first practice session for the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang.
2008 champion Hamilton timed a superb 1m 34.921s in the hot and humid conditions here in Malaysia, well ahead of Mercedes' Nico Rosberg (1m 35.106s). Last year's world champion and last weekend's Australian Grand Prix champion Jenson Button was third with 1m 35.207s.
Seven times world champion, come back man Michael Schumacher is still far behind his old form, he ended the first practice session in 4th position with 1m 35.225s. It's a matter of time only, I'm sure very soon we'll see Michael Magic; who knows, it could be in this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix.
