The British MotoGP 2010 has just finished after being held at Silverstone for the first time in 14 years. Jorge Lorenzo began the race in pole position followed by Randy de Puniet in 2nd and Dani Perdosa in 3rd. The leader slipped a little through the race but eventually finished in 1st place, with Andrea Dovizioso coming second and Ben Spies coming in 3rd. Australia's Casey Stoner was taken on the last lap and finished 5th having started in 6th, and his frustration was clear from the bowed head and helmet knocks crossing the line.

Lorenzo celebrated the win with an homage to British pop group the Beatles, dressing with his mechanics as their alter egos Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. He has consolidated his lead in the championship race and is ahead of the pack by 25 points. Honda's Pedrosa sits in 2nd place on 65 and Rossi with Yamaha in 3rd on 61, an injury keeping him from Round 5 this week.

Canada GP Results

Filed in archive F1 Racing on June 14, 2010

The Formula One season reached Canada this weekend, where rivalries began to heat up and key battles we seen both at the front and the back of the pack. Schumacher continued to court controversy with his inimitable overtaking style while Hamilton and Alonso almost came to literal blows in the pit lane once again. An fight for track dominance between Sutil and Liuzzi seemed to demonstrate some sort of potential split in the Force India camp and the two drivers were having a nightmare through the whole race, both being lucky to find themselves finishing just inside the points.

Webber was unable to consolidate an almost huge lead he had opened up early on and he slipped into 5th. The two Brits at McLaren took first and second place, meaning that the Australian no.1 falls into 3rd, but only 6 points adrift of leader Hamilton on 109 and Button on 106. McLaren currently sit in 1st place then, ahead of Red Bull by 22 with 215 points.
