Mark Webber wins the Spanish GP 2010
by Aman ChaudhryNo CommentsRed Bull Driver Mark Webber dominated the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday at the Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain

The Spanish Grand Prix saw Mark Webber bag the third victory of his career and first for 2010.
After the previous day’s qualifying team Red Bull had bagged the pole once again but in the final race it was Webber who got the lead almost right from the start and held on to it right till the end. Vettel slotted into second who was followed by McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso kept a steady pace for fourth.
Right in the beginning the watchers saw a highlight just as Vettel was heading for the outside line, Hamilton rejoined and both drivers had to swerve as one of the Virgin cars was lurking behind the lot. Vettel had no choice but to run wide which gave Hamilton the chance to go ahead and mark second for the time being.
As Webber kept the pace going well and the distance between him and Lewis kept increasing while Vettel tried hard to get close. Alonso secured fourth position and stuck to it. Schumacher fans were incredibly happy to see him driving at fifth and the veteran champion gave it all to keep Jenson Button at bay.
As the race came close to finish Vettel went in for fresh tires and was suggested to take it easy in case things took a wrong turn and his race wouldn’t be completed.
As Alonso and Vettel stuck to their third and fourth respectively Hamilton drove aggressively and was probably imagining the taste of champagne when his front right tire burst right on a second last lap allowing him to crash into a tire wall and putting an end to his race completely.
The very disappointed McLaren driver saw Fernando Alonso drive to second position for the Spanish GP 2010 followed suit by Vettel who got a podium position probably just when he had given up hope.
As Schumacher drove in fourth with Button following closely, Fellipe Massa finished sixth.
Very impressive driving by Adrian Sutil of Force India team managed to finish seventh with Kubica, Barichello and Torro Rosso’s Alguersuari finished the top ten line up.
