Formula 1 2011: Spanish Grand Prix

The Spanish Formula One Grand Prix was another fine race. An exciting start, with Spanish driver Fernando Alonso getting his Ferrari ahead of the two Red Bulls to lead the race, loads of overtaking, different pitstop strategies and a great battle between eventual winner Sebastian Vettel and 2nd placed driver Lewis Hamilton in the closing 10-15 laps. Red Bull might have won again, but it looks as if McLaren is going to give them a real run for their money this year.

Russia marks Victory Day with massive parade

MOSCOW (AP) -- Tens of thousands of granite-faced soldiers marched in lockstep across Red
Square Monday in Russia's annual Victory Day display of military might, while President Dmitry
Medvedev said the country is committed to peace and global stability.
The parade, marking the surrender of Nazi Germany in World War II, is the centerpiece of Russia's
most solemn secular holiday, both commemorating the Soviet Union's enormous sacrifices in the
war and asserting the
potency of its modern military. (35 images)

Formula 1 2011: Turkish Grand Prix

The 2011 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Turkey finished about 30 minutes ago. Germany’s Sebastian Vettel lead the race from start to finish, only momentarily relinquishing the lead during the pit stops. Normally when a driver leads from start to finish one says it is a boring race, but this was far from that. The most pit stops in a single race since 1993 and dozens of overtaking manoeuvres by drivers spread across the field. In short, the 2011 Turkish Grand Prix was exciting for it’s full 58 laps.
