Vettel Dominates British Grand Prix

Sunday June 21, 2009

He looks like like Michael Schumacher young, he has many of Schumacher's mannerisms. But Sebastian Vettel is quite a different character. What he's doing on the track when given a chance, however, reminds me of Schumacher, and I can imagine few who could deny a little bit of a comparison. Vettel is only 21 years old, and there he goes again: His third victory in Formula 1, and this time, in dominant manner and NOT in the rain. (His two previous wins were in the rain.)

Still, I don't think Schumacher would ever act apologetically at Silverstone about winning the race rather than the home favorite, and then say, as Vettel did, "I regret a little bit I'm not an Englishman." It will be interesting to see if the season can turn around now after Vettel turns the score into 2 victories by him to 6 for Button....
