So it wasn't the fairy tale race we expected where Hulkenburg went from start to finish to win for Williams. But nevertheless it was a superb race, yet again another 1-2 for Red Bull. Also, Red Bull claimed their first ever Constructor's Championship after just 6 seasons.

From the very first corner, Sebastian Vettel lead the race after overtaking Nico Hulkenburg and Mark Webber quickly followed suit into second. So for another race it was a race dominated by the team from Milton Keynes. As both drivers finished ahead of Alonso, they close the gap on him, Webber being just 8 points off the leader and Vettel 15.

Alonso had a pretty good day, although not as good as he would have liked. He goes to Abu Dhabi under even more pressure to keep the Red Bulls away from the Driver's Crown. He finished 3rd today, after overtaking the struggling Hamilton on soft tires.

Mclaren had a poor day really, their results may have been good being 4th for Lewis and 5th for Jenson, but it still meant that Button is out of contention and Hamilton's chances are quickly diminishing. On the plus side, Jenson drove a corker of a race from 11th to 5th, just like he has done in past races this season.

The pole sitter, Nico Hulkenburg, obviously didn't do quite as well as he did in qualifying. He dropped two positions to the Red Bulls quickly but as he got more settled, he kept both Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton at bay for a considerable amount of time. He ended the race in 8th, a decent showing from the young rookie.

The Brazilian fans were left disappointed by their nation's drivers. Both Massa and Barrichello having poor showings. Felipe found himself in a number of scraps and could only muster 15th, behind fellow Brazillian Rubens Barrichello, who had his usual dose of home Grand Prix bad luck by getting a puncture following a overtaking move. Bruno Senna finished 21st.

Mercedes drivers Schumacher and Rosberg finished 6th and 7th, which was a decent result for the team. Force India driver Adrian Sutil put in a good drive going from 22nd to 12th whilst his teammate suffered a nasty crash into the barrier, signalling the only safety car of the race. Sauber had a pretty strange day, Kamui Kobayashi looked tame and gave a few overtakes away but at the halfway stage started attacking again to finish 10th whilst Heidfeld was unlucky to receive a drive through for blocking after the safety car and finished a lowly 17th.

Renault could only get a 9th place from Kubica and a 16th from Petrov as the likes of Mercedes and Williams seem to give them more and more competition. The sister Red Bull team, Toro Rosso had a impressive race, even without achieving points both their drivers finished well, a 11th for Alguersuari and a 13th for Buemi.

The best of the new teams was again Heikki Kovalainen in 18th followed by his teammate Trulli in 19th position. Virgin driver Timo Glock followed in 20th whilst Di Grassi retired, leaving the Hispania cars of Senna and Klien in 21st and 22nd.

Welcome back! It's been a long time, too long in fact, since I was last updating the site. But after two months of work F1 heaven is back for good. We've been gone since the British GP for a couple reasons but after being away from the site I've realised how much it means to me. So that is why I've bought it back.
There may be a couple issues and there a few pages which I've yet to fully complete, but the neccessities are here and ready and I hope you like them.
Last time round, there were two of us working on the site but now, unfortunately it's just me. That means I'm looking for budding writers who would like to give up some time and write for us. Our aim is to give writers somewhere to post their articles and become better known. If you want more info about writing for us give me a mail at: f1heaven@googlemail.com
So, I hope you enjoy the site and look out for a couple posts coming out over this weekend and our magazine later this month.
Thanks for coming back,
Joe

Hey guys, we're trying some stuff out on the site over the next few days, sorry if anything goes badly wrong!

After both of their cars experienced major crashes at Monaco, it has been a race against time for them to build new parts. Unfortunately, they have run out of time and will revert to an old specification at Istanbul. Surely, though, it would make sense for teams to have a spare part. I mean really, this is what my friend has dubbed a 'Virgin-level' mistake (sorry Timo fans!). Unfortunately, these are becoming all too common in F1, for example, McLaren left a bung in Jenson Button's radiator, AFTER BBC pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz told them it was there. With the new points system, where we have already seen Lewis Hamilton punished for failing to finish a race, although not through fault of his own, will these mistakes have a significant mark on the championhip result?
