Cuprabob Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 That's good news and I hope the car is better this year with Ross Braun's input although I'm dissappointed Bruno Senna isn't getting a chance to drive for them as they are keeping Rubens. Also would like to see Button earning his money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuprabob Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I was under the impression that was a done deal and it was only the 2nd seat up for grabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 You are assuming Jenson is the other driver He has been confirmed I think from what I've read. Great news and I can't wait to see them on the grid and fingers crossed they do well. This season is set to be a cracker I just hope F1 stays the pinnacle of motorsport if not overtaking fun, but its more than just that. Has anyone else read what the FOTA wants to do to change the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biturbo Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I was at Silverstone today taking photos at the track day. Luckily, I felt the need to change position and went down to the stands near Abbey. Suddenly there was a lot of noise from the middle of the track and it was immediately obvious it was an F1 car. What with hearing the news on the radio this morning it could have meant only one thing. I swung the camera around and even though I was at least 1/2 mile away it was quite clear.
