Back to back weeks of F1 is a sweet side effect of having four weeks off. To recap after last week's race at Spa...WTF Grosjean! This domino effect has had great repercussions for the Drivers Championship. Instead of Hams and Alonzo gathering points, they sat at zero for the weekend while Vettel worked his way up from an odd failure to make Q3 into second position. Red Bull Racing's consistency is putting a strangle-hold on the Manufacturers Championship, and letting Vettel work his way back into a strong position. And let's not forget that first time front row qualifier, Kobayashi and his teammate Perez, were both damaged/wiped from the race in the same incident. The current standings leave Vettel knocking on the door in second place, while an ever consistent Raikkonen has creeped into fourth. And out of everyone I think the biggest loser from the turn 1 pile up is Mark Webber. He was comfortably in second place, but Vettel's points for last weekend swapped their positions. I know deep inside Webber still knows how he was hindered from chasing the championship during Vettel's first championship season. But I digress...

We have Rolex action at Laguna Seca, Mecum auto auctions and classic replays. Enjoy your weekends everyone.
