United Leeds Endeavours were glued to their
screens on Saturday as Mark Webber won the Monaco Grand Prix.
Australian Mark Webber won for Red Bull for the
second time in three years, this year he won in 1:46:06.557. Webber shrugged
off his image for poor starts by controlling from the beginning, his initial
lead was of two seconds which is believed to be a career best. United Leeds Endeavours were surprised to hear that
Webber was then able to retain his lead throughout. The top six stayed fairly close
together in a particularly exciting race, which was consistently threatened by
rainfall.
McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton was positioned in
third place in the early laps but he lapsed on strategy and lost out to
Ferrari’s Alonso and Sebastian Vettel for Red Bull. Another British driver,
Jensen Button also had a difficult race with a poor start, he then eventually
had to retire after a dangerous spin. The result of Monaco moves Alonso into
the lead of the world championship, as he is three points ahead of both Vettel
and Webber. Hamilton is in fourth place but with significantly less points than
the leaders. He is thirteen points behind Alonso, meaning he’ll need to place
highly in all the remaining races to move up.
United Leeds Endeavours was impressed to hear
that Mark Webber’s victory makes this Formula One season the first in history
to feature six different winners in the first six races. This shows the high
quality of drivers and teams that are currently competing.
A spokesperson from United Leeds Endeavours
commented that, “With the top three drivers being within 3 points from each
other this season of Formula One is set to be more exciting than ever. We’re
intrigued to see if Alonso can keep his top spot despite the tough competition
he is facing from every team.”
He continued, “We cannot wait to see what
happens at the Canadian Grand Prix during the 8th to the 10th June!”
United Leeds Endeavours is a marketing and
sales company with offices around the UK.
