And then there was two! Can you believe the 2009 Formula One season has nearly finished? Where has the year gone?
Well done to Sebastian Vettel for his win in Japan. We like the German and think his huge smile and cheeky comments always brighten up the paddock.
That said though we would still love Jenson Button to win this years championship simply because we think he’s been the better driver over the full season – look at his dominant wins at the start of the season – that was the driving of a champion. Sure his qualifying and race performances haven’t been putting him on the top step of the podium since the Turkish Grand Prix but is that a driver or car problem? Besides nothing could probably compare to the pressure that Jenson is under right now and even though drivers say they’re soaking it up you have to think that this might not be entirely true – look at Lewis Hamilton’s final races in 2007 and 2008 for proof of that.
We’ve been following Jenson on his official Twitter and the feedback from that is that he’s very relaxed and knows what he’s got to do to win the championship. So hopefully it’s only a matter of time for the Brit and after numerous years in Formula One he’s finally going to realise his ultimate dream of winning the championship – and in a car that wasn’t even going to be on the grid in February last year – what a great story…
As for Sebastian – well you have feel he’ll win the championship sooner rather than later if not this year – the guy has got a fantastic natural driving ability and all the makings of one of F1′s all time greats.
So it’s onto Brazil in two weeks time and we can’t wait. Looking back at previous years we can’t remember a Brazilian Grand Prix which didn’t provide superb action packed racing – just the way we like it.
Bring it on.
It is very hard to believe that we are down to the last two races. The year has just flown in and we are still not sure who will win the WDC. Part of me would like to see Rubens win it cause I think its his last chance. It was a chance that DC never got in his last season. But another bit of me would like to see Jenson do it. But to be honest any of the three contenders would be good……
Welcome on board Flying Scot – REALLY great to see some more members adding their views on the blog. I’m a bit divided with the Barrichello thing – one part says he had his chances at Ferrari, but let Schumacher turn him into his wingman, then there’s the other part that says – as it’s his last serious chance of the title (unless Williams built a race winning car next year) then maybe it would be nice to see him win it. I’ve always classed Jenson as my number two choice (after DC!) hence the reasons for me wanting him to win and as for Sebastian – well he’s going to win LOTS of titles in the years to come so maybe his time isn’t this year. Should be a good battle though and if you want a great insight into how the three drivers are doing and what they are thinking why not join our Twitter – we are following Rubens, Sebastian and Jenson and the messages they post in between and during race weekends gives you real exclusives as they are actually typed by the drivers in real time.
So are you going to write the next post about something on the blog? I’m sure people are sick of listening to me ranting about stuff by now! Hee Hee. Thanks again for joining.
