Holy Crap, Sebastian Vettel/Red Bull

Of the last 10 Grands Prix (including the last 5 of last season), Sebastian Vettel has 7 wins and 2 second place finishes. And one retirement, where his engine blew at the end, when he was comfortably in the lead. And 7 poles.

In addition to his come-from-behind victory in the World Championship season, Vettel has a comfortable lead in the championship this year. Of 125 total points available this year, Vettel has 118. 2008 World Championship (and owner of a rather ridiculous looking chin-strap beard) is in 2nd place with 77 points. With 25 points for a win, Vettel is over a win and a half worth of points in the lead.

Good race today. A lot of strategy, and a really good drive by Vettel and Hamilton. Some tense moments as Alonso took the lead into the first corner from 4th on the grid, and pole sitter and Red Bull driver, Mark Webber, ended up 3rd through the first corner, and 4th in the race. By the way, Alonso ended up in 5th.

Do we like Alonso? I can't remember.

You may remember him from his other name: "Tremendous cockbag".

That might narrow it down a bit.

Hmmm... That was strange.
