FORMULA ONE IN GERMANY

FERNANDO ALONSO - 1st PLACE

This race was a 'ho-hum' race in my mind. The only excitement was that the first three places were up in the air until the last few laps. Alonso seemed to have a clear win until Vettel and Button got within shooting distance. Button started having tire problems and Vettel passed him with two laps to go pulling into second. It was not to last because he passed with all four wheels off the road. Rules are that if you go off the road you can't use it to better your position. So, Vettel got a 20 second penalty that put him in fifth place. Which allowed Kimi Raikkonen to go from fourth to third.
