Vettel defies rules at home favorite

 

Red Bull is a big favorite in the home race at Silverstone. It also changes the throttle-controversial ban in Formula 1, with the Grand Prix of Great Britain on Sunday (14.00 clock / live one ORF, RTL and Sky) comes into force definitively, nothing.

 

The Austro- British team is the high- speed course 30 km near the factory in Milton Keynes particularly accommodating.

This world champion Sebastian Vettel comes with the confidence of six wins in the first eight races of the season. In the championship standings, the German title defender, who last Sunday, his 24th A birthday celebration, now 77 points ahead of his pursuers, first McLaren and Jenson Button in his team-mate Mark Webber. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) and Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) will follow with another 12 or 22 points respectable distance.

Webber had triumphed last year at Silverstone and then with his statement, "not bad for a number- two driver caused "controversy. The Australians could, despite the intermediate gas moratorium that would make Red Bull with engine partner Renault hardest, Vettel also this year be the only serious competitor. "He has a phenomenal run, which makes us all hard," Webber admitted. "But he can be caught."

Vettel to beat at Silverstone, Webber could give season fresh impetus to control and increase his chances next year and a Red Bull. "Mark is close to Sebastian to it," said team boss Christian Horner. "It could be a fascinating duel between the two." A rock hard stable duel, as it has dominated parts of the preseason to the cops but not conjure up again.

Vettel goes on to victory by winning at this pace, he could replace Alonso anyway in September as the youngest double world champion in history.
