Until the very end, pole position looked like it was going to go to an unlikely driver, namely STR’s Sebatian Vettel. The German had been flying since arriving at the new street circuit of Valencia, and was right up on the pace from the off. But sadly for him, it wasn’t meant to be.
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe the quality of Lewis Hamilton’s win. It took a typical British summer’s day – wind, showers, some sun – to give Hamilton the canvas on which to display his abundance of natural talent. The Englishman didn’t put a foot wrong.
You’ve got to take your hat off to McLaren’s Heikki Kovalainen. While everyone else focussed on what Lewis Hamilton was going to do, Heikki kept his focus and got on with the job at hand, which landed him the grandest prize of the day: pole position at the British Grand Prix.
