Individual races in Formula One are always interesting but the title battle is usually only of interest if more than one driver is competing for the crown. So far this season it has been looking like a Schumacher style year were one driver races off with all the wins, points and eventually, the title. This weekend looked like the perfect weekend for Button to take another huge step for the title, it was his home Grand Prix and his big chance to take the big win in front of all his fans. But it was the German Vettel that spoiled Button’s home coming party and maybe for the good of the title race that wasn’t a bad thing. Vettel is still well behind Button, actually he is still behind Barrichello but if anything the weekend has shown the 2009 version of Button to be human after all and maybe it’ll be a big turning point in the season. It sure would be nice.

The sad part of the weekend was that the race was the last at Silverstone for who knows how long, so long as Donnington gets up to scratch in time. Nothing against Donnington, a great circuit in its own right, but I’d love to see the race have to stay at Silverstone … it was the venue for the first ever world championship race in 1950.

The race as I mentioned before was completely overshadowed by the whole breakaway series threat but until there is anymore further news it’s not really worth writing about and for a few hours this afternoon it was nice to just see the cars race.
