CarMad Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Interesting conditions they are driving in at the moment. Hamilton and Vettel won't be happy but I bet Brawn is, but I wonder how compromised they are if the race is dry tomorrow. Still fun to watch the all earn their pennies. So Button or Rubens to win the Championship then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stooH Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I had Rubens at 10/1 for pole and Sutil at 16/1 (each way). I like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Well it looks like this is going to go down to the last race of the season, great pole for Rubens and Button obviously wasn't at all happy with the car. Fingers crossed Brawn pick up the constructors tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Wow!!.. what a session Good on Rubens.. hope he brings it home tomorrow and it goes down to the wire. Button only has himself to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yeah was a great seesion, how long did the coverage go on for, seemed to have been watching it for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Wow, the longest ever quali session? JB didnt look happy, not sure where he went with his set up/tyres/times. Has he gone for a dry set up and hopes its clear tomorrow. A big gamble. RB on pole aswell, God cant wait for the race now. RB has never won in Brazil though and he has had a heap of bad luck over the years. I have a feeling JB will wrap it up tomorrow. His luck will hold.

CarMad Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Well Button certainly isn't sitting back and taking it safe, some brilliant over taking moves.

CarMad Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Fan bloody tastic. :jump: A team that almost didn't make it to the start of the season win the constructors championship and Jenson Button shows his class to win the World Drivers Championship and with a cracking drive and IMO is a worth winner. Brawn himself has to take plenty of the credit, an englishman with a touch of magic when it comes to making a team and car that is the best out there.

steve2 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 will Jenson turn up at Bluewater on Tuesday now:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) will Jenson turn up at Bluewater on Tuesday now:grin: Probably and I think the crowd will be just that little bit bigger. Great coverage today and the BBC have been brilliant all season, oh how I don't miss the adverts. Still sinking in but a British Team, and a British driver winning the double F1 Championship and for the first time in 40 years a back to back win for British drivers and I'm pretty darn proud I have to say. :D+++ Edited October 18, 2009 by CarMad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Woooo hooooo Button- World Champion Brawn GP- Constructors Champion Superb! the underdogs show the big boys how it's done, after there very nearly was not a team at all . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 the size of this achievement from Brawn is just staggering - from not having a team at Christmas to somehow managing to get the cars on the grid for the first race - even having to make more redundancies after the first win!! Its nothing short of a miracle - hats of to the entire team - Britain's finest :notworthy: :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 SUPERB !! Cracking race and such bold moves from JB who had a lot to lose if he'd been tagged. Congrats to JB and Brawn. Also congrats to the PR people that signed JB up for an event just after this GP. A good bet that paid off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Fantastic race, fantastic result. The best drive by Button I think I've ever seen.. and makes him a true world champion!! Well done Brawn GP.. what a great team!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Excellent race and great result, Button was on a mission big time at the start, some of those overtaking moves took some cahunas :D Felt sorry for poor old Rubens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Man Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I was seriously beginning to think that Jenson lacked that all important "killer instinct" to win the championship....but he drove fantastically this afternoon...one could argue it was the best drive of his career.It almost felt like he`d mentally thought.."f*** all this play it safe percentage game"....I`am going for it and if I end up in the wall then tough s**t......and as they say "who dares wins."

Luke Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Jenson Button, I really take my hat off to you. There were people out there that doubted you had that World Drivers Champ' killers instinct in you. Well today you really showed them. Some of those overtakes were breathtaking, coming from so far back down the main straight and then to brake so so late and still nail it, deserves so much credit. Especially when turn 4 was made redundant by the dirt, that left only one overtaking place left. A great day for British motorport, lets hope Bernie has no option but to keep the GP here in its rightful home, especially Silverstone. Add to that, that Rubens is a legend but still suffers from terrible luck. He should feel very proud that he made Brawn a World champ' team.

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Perfect result! Couldn't have wished for more other than JB actually being on the podium today - that would have been the cherry on the icing Even results aside - best race of the season? Will LH make a come back or is he just fish & chip papers now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
