In 2010, the Monaco Grand Prix served to give Red Bull is a bathroom, one of the good. Double victory for Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel. The first great success of the anglo-austriaca team on the streets of Monte Carlo and in the case of Mark Webber, second consecutive win of the season which gave him a dose of moral extra in order to fight for the title. While many would like to get it.
Monte Carlo had only one color, the blue of Red Bull and also had French flavour, that of the Renault engines. On Saturday they captured the top three positions, with Kubica Webber, Vettel and repeated on Sunday, with the exchange of positions between the Polish and German. What did not change was the domain of Mark Webber signed a full weekend and without error. As he likes to the Australian, fly without that nobody can push you.
But the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix had many points of interest. In the third weekend free practice, played on Saturday, Fernando Alonso suffered an accident, nothing worrying a priori, but that would have dantescas consequences for their aspirations in the Principality. The chassis of the car was damaged in Ferrari had to mount an almost new car for the race on Sunday. Alonso had to do the rating from the sidelines. Out in the streets of Monte Carlo is not the dream of a pilot.
But this time, luck was on the side of Fernando Alonso. The Asturian made his pit stop anything else start the race and from there, an early safety-car helped him make a magnificent comeback which led to the sixth position. It would not be the last time at which the Mercedes SLS AMG and Alonso would be protagonists. On the last lap of race and the car security leaving the track moments earlier, Michael Schumacher beat Alonso, an illegal maneuver that soon would be punished.
Another of the moments of the Grand Prize was the abandonment of Jenson Button. He, at that time, current champion of the world of formula 1 had to leave after seeing as its engine said enough. The reason, nonsense if we think in formula one. A mechanic you forgot to remove one of the lids covering the air intakes on the side pontoons.
Another moment was the accident of Rubens Barrichello, produced by a badly welded sewer lid. The Brazilian, quite angry, decided to launch his steering wheel. In the words of the Brazilian, I wanted to get out of the cockpit as soon as possible. An action that could have had tragic consequences.
One of the following to the Monaco Grand Prix News, was the knowledge of a letter that Fernando Alonso wrote to his team. In it, Alonso promised all the work of the world to fight for the title at the end of season. Something that became a reality, even though it had the desired result.
