Raikkonen Reigns at Silverstone!

BAMBINO: Just when you thought Hamilton and Alonso have hit their form, Kimi Raikkonen puts in another brilliant performance and steals the thunder from McLaren at their home GP at Silverstone. The Ferrari driver won his second GP in a row and is now in the hunt for the Driver's Championship. Again Kimi, who qualified 2nd, ripped out some hot laps while his challengers pitted and built up enough of a lead that when he made his second and final pitstop, he exited well ahead of Fernando Alonso's McLaren. Another brilliant drive for Kimi and Ferrari.

As for Massa, he qualified 4th but when the field rolled off for the formation lap, his F2007 stalled on the grid and he had to start from pit lane. However, Felipe put in a fabulous drive despite the stalled car and finished 5th as Robert Kubica held him off in the final laps.

The McLaren Boys drove well and didn't get the win. But Alonso and Hamilton keep scoring big points and are the two top drivers in the standings. Hamilton again finished on the podium and continues his assault on the F1 record books.

The BMW team again has done well with Kubica taking 4th and Heidfeld 6th. They are definitely the best of the rest, but make no mistake, the fight is between Ferrari and McLaren for the Championship. The Renault team rounded off the scoring with Kovalainen and Fisichella finishing 7th and 8th respectively. The circus takes a weekend off before heading to the Nurburgring for the German GP.
