Silverstone, England (GenevaLunch) – Sebastian Vettel lead the Red Bull team to victory in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Team-mate Mark Weber was second while Rubens Barrichello came in third for Brawn GP. Championship leader Jenson Button could only manage sixth place, while last year’s champion Lewis Hamilton continued his horrible season with a sixteenth place.
The race was a straightforward affair for the 21-year-old German driver who started in pole position and was always in control. Jenson Button now has a reduced but still comfortable 23-point lead over his team-mate Barrichello with Vettel two points further back.
Ferrari driver Felipe Massa was fourth but the main news about the Italian team was the threat by F1 boss Max Mosley to sue them for attempting to set up a rival organization.

I have a couple of Sicilian cousins, who’d gladly remove Mosley from his throne for a small stipend.
Badda bing, badda bing, badda boom; voila, no more empire building.
