Brazilian GP Race Day - Button 2009 World Champion

[Tension_36th]

So Button is world champion, he was not going to be able to get anywhere in the points from the place he was starting giving his crappy qualifying.

But the weather was warmer and humid the tyres warmed up fine and most of all Button overtook cars in surgical precision. That was a different button than the one which struggled all later half of the season. You have to say he did what he needed to do from that position, drive the wheels off and get the 5th place.

He deserves the title, but is he going to be in the same position in the future? nope, Ross brawn and the other team bosses will be mindful of how button struggled at other times he was still bettered by rubens even in some of the races button narrowly won let alone the 2nd half of the season. A real champion must be consistent.

You can be a Damon hill and pull a great one year but these guys dont tend to have great drives all the time. And not many can get a dominant car like brawn had at the start of season.

But titles are won in the first half of the seasons these days, happened with alonso in 2005 and nearly in 2006. 2007 Kimi pulled it off when Mcliars had infighting. 2008 was yet another clown in a fast car that was 'care of Ferrari dossiers' and a slave teammate in Hekkie.

Button did just that, win many races in the first half and he is now champion. It is not down to the last race.

But we must also look closely how Redbull ruined their own game, two pitlane incidents for dangerous release threw away the constructor points and in one case the bloody FIA unfairly and wrongly penalized Vettel for 'apparently' speeding when later it was found and proven via telemetry it was indeed a mistake on the the FIA's part but the penalty was taken and nothing can be done to undo that drive through. If it was a penalty issued after the race it can be undone, vettel could have taken the title down to the wire.

Is there a brawn whiting conspiracy to aid ross? Brawn has his pull with the most corrupt in the FIA like Charlie Whiting, the same worm who first rejected the double diffusers and then later approved it for 3 other teams, in particular 3 teams who's future were all in doubt...Yeah you can smell a rat there.

The double diffuser gave brawn a big boost, it took until mid season for the others to start catching up. This can be seen as the championship of the double diffusers that won it at the start. Because no matter how great button drove the last race, the previous wins where like a walk in the park.

Winning the title is always great for such drivers who are not on Vettel Kimi Alonso's level. Button will thoroughly enjoy this one because he knows it wont be this easy anymore when there are more competitors from the start next year. Brawn will be still a strong title contender, but can he handle Nico Rosberg? I say not a chance, Nico is well and truly above him technically and skill wise. Then there is the doubt of if Button will even remain at Brawn, Ross is no fool to be paying a high salary to someone like Button even when he is champion, there are other driver to be had for more money.

Alonso race was run when the two girls trulli and sutil were hitting each other with their hand bags, and to make it more manly they decided to add some shoving to it, but the looser in all of this was alonso and renault. Tough Luck.

Thank goodness kimi's eyes werent burnt out, because fuel that ignites on your face can leave a life damaging scar or worse blindness. But again the FIA bastards didnt do much about it with Mclaren. Renault looses a wheel and they get banned for the next race and rightfully so, but the team of the pig gets to walk away with just a puny fine.

Star f the race? easy Kamui Kobayashi. Kamui is rough but the boy is very very good, he had his slight rash moments moving in the braking zones but unlike the rest, this japanese has balls to pull some great moves. This is sato and a bit of Montoya rolled into one more polished japenese super racer. He has a bright future.

And its not embellishing to say his debut is the most spectacular and impressive in the last 10 years.

Awesome stuff.

Now we have another crappy looking track in the UAE, the Abu Dhabi GP which may offer no room for overtaking at all. Lets see if there is any hope for that track, because no one cares for those fancy buildings and glass waxed extravaganzas on the side of the track.

He may not be the best World Champion but he is better than piggy... though he is not kimi alonso or vettel for that matter. He is good like damon hill in a top car and has his fair share of great moments but he is not consistent to be a thorough title winning driver. Even Button admits to it. Without the brawn dominance at the start he would never be champion. Sometime luck plays a big part, but its the sheer talent that will earn you many titles.

Well done Jenson for becoming the new WDC

Hopefully after Brazil he will now realise his potential and has the confidence to make manouvours stick when over taking and make future races more enjoyable to watch

[Tension_36th]

There could be a cheesy excuse coming up as to why Glock cant race for the final race, so they can give the new hot shot Kamui another chance to throw some spectacular wheel to wheel racing. Its good publicity for Toyota.

Glock must be fuming understandably.

[pete]

well he did do well on his first day makes a chage for a rookie to do that well he has potential does Koybiashi or some thing like that lol

[Tension_36th]

Indeed, a Japanese that isnt a total crasher, but he is rough even rougher than Sato. But F1 needs that. It is sorely lacking in balls and gusty moves.

[pete]

We might even get some proper racing going again with any luck.

[icegirljenni]

Kamui indeed impress me with his driving skill, of course many has said, thsi is just a race, and if he didint do the best the coming race, he will be trash, but guys should really think about it, no testing , and he is still doing an amazing job, what do we expect right?

[pete]

He got 9th and where did the other rookies of the season get even now at the back so he did exceptionally well on his first outing in F1 well impressed with him and one to watch in the future i think.

If he carries on then the makings of a great driver but time will tell.
