Re: Alonso v/s Vettel 2012 - Epic battle in the offing
Silverstone Update Alonso and Vettel finish 2 and 3 respectively. They both drove a mistake free race.

But had the Red Bull not failed it would have simply disappeared into the distance, again. That car in free air was like a Lightsabre cutting through a Sith apprentice. The safety car had no effect on Red Bull's race, so this sounds like bitterness.
