It’s Sunday so it must be time for Fernando Alonso to win another Grand Prix. This week it was the British GP at Silverstone.
Fortunately, this weekend was free from the on-track controversy of two weeks ago–although not from people still wanting to talk about it.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t much else to talk about with another processional race unfolding on an unusually warm English afternoon in June. Once local favourite Jenson Button parked his Honda in a cloud of smoke it was all over.
Perhaps no one noticed as apparently everyone else in the world is watching the [football/soccer] World Cup at the moment anyway.
