Vettel dominates and wins at Silverstone

Written by Scott Keller · June 23, 2009

Sebastian Vettel broke the monotony of Jensen Button winning everything by winning in a monotonous way at Silverstone. Vettel dominated the field in what is possibly the last F1 race at Silverstone.

Brawn still put together a good weekend with Barrichello finishing third, and Button sixth, but the results were a let down.  Button hoped to put an exclamation point on the first half of the season by winning in his homeland.

Lewis Hamilton’s disasterous season continued on Sunday with a 16th place finish in the McLaren after winning there in 2008.  It’s going to be a long summer for the champ.

Mark Webber had a fantastic weekend, and is poised to win a race sometime this season.  Webber had a shot at the pole, and finished second to give Red Bull a 1-2 finish.

The fact is that the entire weekend’s was overshadowed by the politics, and the looming split of the FOTA teams from F1.
