Shows what I know

In my last post I praised three rookie drivers, Paul di Resta, Paster Maldonado and Kamui Kobayashi, who had qualified their cars into the top ten for the British Grand Prix. Unfortunately, I had taken my eye off my favourite rookie of the year, Sergio Perez.




While Kobayashi was forced to retire due to an oil leak, di Resta and Maldonado both ended up being lapped by the end of the race. However, and I don't know how, Perez raced his Sauber to 7th place by the chequered flag and a tidy 6 points in the bank.
I won't take your eyes off him again.

Qualified rookies

The British Grand Prix qualifying session brought up a few surprises, due to light rain and a constantly changing track surface.

Congratulations to three rookies who drove their midfield cars to the front of the pack and into the top ten for Sunday's race.

Paul DiResta, Force India



Pastor Maldonado, Williams



Kamui Kobayashi, Sauber



6th, 7th and 8th, respectively. Well done, guys and good luck for the GP.
