British Grand Prix

It was one of the wildest races of the season. Fernando Alonso qualified 9th and Massa was 11th and it looked hopeless for Ferrari to get a good result. Luckily, absolute chaos unfolded and teams that were thought to have bad days had good ones and vise versa. Lewis Hamilton, who started on pole position, blew his tire on just the 7th lap and then just a little bit later Felipe Massa blew his tire on the exact same spot! In practice session 2 on Friday, Sergio Perez blew his same tire on the same spot as well. It was one of the oddest occurences I've seen in my time watching Formula 1. Some people were saying it was a faulty track design as the Pirelli tires couldn't cope with the tremendous pressure from turns 4 and 5.  Alonso said after the race that he didn't think it was the track, but something wrong with the tires and Pirelli will have to act fast as everyone goes to Germany in just a week. In my opinion, I think something was wrong with the tires, because there's countless corners like turn 5 in Britain and there were never any problems like this. After Massa blew his tire, he went to the pits and found himself at or near last place and for the first time in a while, the race became rather "normal". However, drama returned when race leader Sebastian Vettel's gearbox went kaputt and every other driver on the track pounced on the opportunity. Alonso, who was in the pits right when it happened, found himself all the way in 7th, but roared his way back to finish 3rd. Mark Webber overtook Kimi to take second as Rosberg finished with the victory. Massa battled all the way back to finish an amazing 6th and Ferrari found themselves with a very good result after a poor qualifying and chaotic start and finish to a tremendous race. Somehow, Mercedes still get a victory after Hamilton who started pole fell back after his tire exploded and then Rosberg takes over after Vettel retired. Pirelli really have to figure something out because all season long tires have been a problem and today everything just exploded into chaos(litterly). Hopefully, by next weekend atleast one problem can be worked out so we don't have an extremely unsafe, yet exciting race as we did today.

How Ferrari Will Succeed in Britain

In order for Ferrari to have success in the British GP this coming weekend, Fernando Alonso will have to have a huge qualifying and continue it into the race.  Massa is almost guaranteed a mechanical failure or a crash so Fernando is our only hope.  As long as the Mercedes haven't completely figured out their tire problems, I'm confident Alonso can qualify in the top 3 or even take pole.  Alonso has had a lot of success at Silverstone and there's no reason he won't be able to continue it.  As long as the track can stay dry(which it won't because it's England) then that would be a huge advantage for Ferrari as they tend to struggle in the wet.  If by some bizarre chance Massa doesn't have any problems, expect him to have a good weekend and massively help Ferrari's chances of taking the World Championship.

Ferrari

Using basically only one driver all season, Alonso, Ferrari is actually having an alright season.  Although, if Enzo was with us, he'd be fuming right now and not only Massa, but Alonso as well would've been fired by now.  Fernando has won 2 races so far in this still young season.  In China and in his homeland of Spain.  His Ferrari has looked liked it has had a little more pace this season.  Massa's car is doing the same as he's also had a good year so far.  Besides Monaco and Bahrain, Massa has been finishing much higher than last season.  Crashing the exact same way twice at Monaco shows that if Ferrari can just get him a better car, Massa can be compete for a podium finish race after race.  However, I do think Massa should leave.  Ferrari is the flagship team of Formula 1, in order to be a dominate team once again, we're going to need better drivers.  Rumours have been going around that Vettel may be on his way to Ferrari next season alongside Alonso.  If Ferrari can get a good car for both drivers, that would be an incredible pairing.  Although, none of that even matters right now.  All I care about is this upcoming weekend in Montreal and hoping for a Ferrari win.
