FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX

Well I don't know what happened with Ferrari. Now I'm kinda new to F1 but I love auto racing and I love Ferraris. I have been watching for about 2 years now but this year is the first year I have watched all the races and I don't really understand what Ferrari was thinking this race. When Raikkonen went on for a pit they did not change his tires now I get that maybe they thought they could get him out before Hamilton. He did gain 1.5 seconds on the pit stop but lost 7 seconds per lap after that and went from 2nd to 4th because he had no traction on the worn tires. Raikkonen was Ferrari's only hope this race because Massa was P9 and spinned twice on the first lap.

So its lap 42 Raikkonen is in 7th and Massa is in 13th. Not a very good race for Team Ferrari after going 1-2 last race in France. I can see Massa and Raikkonen moving down a few spots on the driver leader board. With Massa 1st and Raikkonen 3rd as of now. I hope Raikkonen will still get a few points if he can stop spinning but I will pray that Massa will move up and at least get in the points. With only 15 laps left I really don't think Massa will move up and I just know seen that Massa is a lap down so I guess we just need Raikkonen to move up 6 spots for the win.

Update: Hamilton wins laps everyone but 2nd and 3rd place.
Massa 6 spins at least 13th place and 2 laps down.
Raikkonen 2 spins and 4th place and 1 lap down.
3 way tie for the Championship as of now, Massa, Raikkonen and Hamilton.

Let me know what you thought of the race and if you have any insight on why Ferrari did what they did because like I said I am still kinda new to the sport.

That's alright. I am sure they will get back (at least Raikkonen) in the next race.
