German Grand Prix
YESYESYESYES MARK! OMG MARK! MARK! ♥ ♥ ♥
That win is so richly deserved and long overdue. I am absolutely delighted for him. He's had such shitty luck for the past few years, but finally things seem to be going his way :) It's not luck that gave him the win today, no way, he was peerless out there; but bad luck didn't screw him over and take it away. And that he came out and won, even after having a drive-through penalty... wow. Amazing performance from him today. His little celebration over the radio was a joy to hear as well - he was so happy, that obviously meant to much to him. He's adorable, bless him ♥
Nico drove a bloody good race today too, he had a super start (15th to 9th!), and finishing fourth is an excellent result any time, but today he beat both of the Brawns too! And he went from 15th to 4th, that's pretty amazing! He's having a great season, I'm so excited for him ♥
Another man who drove well and beat some Brawns today is Felipe - can't believe it was only his first podium of the year! I loved in the press conference when he said it was nice to be back and that he'd missed it. ♥
Jense had a disappointing day - though that pass he put on Massa early on was pretty sweet.
Rubens had a disappointing afternoon too - I had expected him to be pissed that they let Jense overtake him in the pitstops but I didn't expect his reaction. "They made me lose the race, basically." and "To be honest with you, I want to get on a plane right now and go home, I don't want to talk to anybody in the team." Harsh dude. But I guess he went through all this with Ferrari too... I guess the poor guy's just had too much of the favouritism. "I did all I had to do." He's usually such an up guy, so happy and smiling. For him to be so cutting, he's clearly very upset.
I was gutted for Adrian Sutil, he had a great day yesterday and he was doing so well today - he was holding his own up near the front. He was even running second at one point (not a net second when pit stops were taken into account but... second!). And then Kimi happened. I was so upset, he looked good for a few points and it would have been well deserved.
Lewis had a storming start, absolutely amazing. It was such a shame he got his puncture and his car broke, he was looking strong for the first time in the season and he couldn't do anything with it. Poor guy. I miss Lewis up the front and I really hoped for better things today after he did so well yesterday.
No rain in the end, but it was an excellent race nonetheless.
