Stat Attack: Britain (post-race)
Michele Merlino investigates the records and compiles the stats following the British Grand Prix
Red 'Royal' Bull
By recording pole, fastest lap and finshing one-two, Red Bull posted a "Royal Flush" for the first time. Brawn has also achieve such a feat this year in Spain. In both cases, the dominant cars were also able to set the fastest laps in the race.
Red Bull's domination went further still however as the team also spent the entire race in the lead. If Mark Webber had qualified second (and he missed that only by 0.012s...) the team would have recorded an extraordinary achievement, putting both cars out front in qualifying, race, fastest laps and spending the entire race in the lead.
