Because there wasn't really a race for anything. Kimi's tailpipe coming off cost him time but didn't cost him 2nd. Hamilton was working his way through the field for a bit until his 3rd set of tires where he just resigned himself to his current position at the time. Kubica had a good run but wasn't really challenging the Toyota for 3rd. |

David Coulthard has retired, effective as of the end of the year. Will stay with Red Bull Racing as a test and development driver and consultant. Not really surprising, you knew this was coming, he couldn't go forever.
They also extended Mark Webber's contract until the end of next year.
Safest bet in the world says Sebastien Vettel drives an RBR next year. |

Someone from England was telling me a few weeks ago that Bernie would keep the British GP but move it just to screw over the BRDC.
Kinda sad to see another of the 'originals' go, but kinda cool to see Donington back. |

Outstanding runs for both Kovalainen and Webber, although was sort of hoping Webber would of kept his 1st place pole. He'll be the driver i'll be supporting after DC retires, always enjoyed watching him race.
lol @ hamilton for more mistakes and lol @ massa for coming 9th :wtf: |

Great race, even if P1 was a bit of a walk.
The rest of the field was a lottery and the end result showed it. |

Good race to watch because of the immense amounts of overtaking and racing which you don't see very often. Nice to see only a 2 point difference in the top 4 of the drivers championship ship atm, anyone can win it.
Also, gravel traps are stupid - they don't do their job properly of slowing down cars and just put them out of the race instead. It's crap to see several cars retire just because they cant crawl a few metres back onto the race track from a gravel trap. |

| great job qualifying by webber! :D of course he loses it on the first lap though :rolleyes: :( was coming back pretty good but i guess they made the wrong choice in the pitstop with keeping the older tyres on. pretty good race to watch though! championship looking pretty interesting so far this year! |
