Home Business Forum - Formula One: McLaren Stops Red Bull Charge at Turkish Grand Prix

And the McLarens obliged and went into the lead, but an unnecessary tangle by the Red Bulls while trying to outdo each other on lap 41 left Vettel with a right rear tire puncture. With the Red Bulls likely to take the top two slots, the race seemed like going the usual way. Even Michael Schumacher squeezed ahead of Jenson Button. At the start of the race the Red Bulls raced off leaving McLaren's Hamilton lagging behind.

And their team surely needs to catch up in terms of speed, the Ferraris looked way under the average pace at Turkey, surprisingly. Schumacher seems to be getting better with every race and is slowly inching his way up the grid with every passing race. And Michael Schumacher's 4th place finish was also the best for him this year, this was Hamilton's maiden win of the 2010 Formula One season. Pushing Red bull down to second, mcLaren's 1-2 propelled them to the top of the table in the team standings, nevertheless. Technical boss of Red Bull just could not believe what was going on and was seen shocked with his hands on his head, adrian Newey. And Vettel and Webber just continued blaming each other for the incident, one can say that the race was handed to McLaren by the Red Bulls.
