I don't really watch F1, but back to back British champs? Wow.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]

Some great overtaking from Jenson early in the race, shame for Rubens in his home GP.

Gz to Jenson and the Braun team :D

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

The brawn team are making two much noise

Anyone would have thought that they've won both titles:D

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

You would have thought after last year the organisers would have made arrangements for the World Champion to appear on the balcony if he wasn't in the first three.

Well done Brawn and Jenson.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

What a brilliant race! Button deserves this!

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Really pleased for JB & Team Brawn :clap:
Doesnt matter what people say about his lack of wins in the second half of the season, its points what count and they add up to JB being the 2009 F1 champion.

Brawn have dragged themselves up from the ashes of what was Honda (how gutted must they be) and done a superb job of development over the season to keep both JB & Rubens scoring points.

2 weeks finds a new circuit when JB can enjoy the drive and hoprfully we'll see Rubens come a well deserved 2nd in the championship.

Hopefully we'll see JB still at Brawn next season & I'm looking forward to the 2010 season already.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

What will the papers say tomorrow

"He's only Brawn and done it" ?

It was the lollipop man's fault. He released the car way too early.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Well done Button and Brawn I knew he could do it.
It was a deserved win as well, he knew what he had to do, and went out and did it, against all the odds. Best race of the season. :woot: :hyper:

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I must admit i did have my reservations about Jenson Button being a worthy champion but after that display i have to hold my hands up and say Blinkin Well Done lad :tu:
Proper drive from a proper world champ, did this business when it was needed, hat`s off to him.

SUPERB!

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Cadbury's should make some limited edition chocolate buttons, with Jenson's face on them ;)

Ohh and if Cadbury's do make some, I'd be happy with a cheque for "consultancy" fee's :)

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Call them Jensons' Buttons :)

Make a film about this season
"The Brawn Superamacy"

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

That was a champions race. It starting from back there is would have been soo easy to get involved in someone else's accident, or to be over cautious. Attack was the best form of defence crackign race even if planty of others threw it off the road.

:nworthy: Well done JB and Team Brawn. :clap:

Commiserations to Vettel and Rubens, but for a bit of reliability who knows what might have happened ??

All out for the finale now the pressure is off

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Woo Hoo, I'm one of the lucky winners.

Won a drive with Jenson Button tomorrow @ Bluewater.

:-D

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I'm happy that there's a new British Chamion & Team but I do wish it wasn't JB, after his arrogance a couple of years ago at trying to dump one team for another I'll never be a fan of his....

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I think that was probably down to impetuousness of youth and inexperience. He was spurred on by bad advice and poor example. I too would not necessarily count myself one of his most ardent of fans, but I wouldn't want to take this away from him. I do feel disappointment for Rubens though. The most experienced man on the track and this is the closest he has ever come to the championship. I do hope it is not his last chance. I am not so sure if Brawn will be up to it next year. McLaren will have ironed out their little problems and will be strong contenders for next year. If JB goes to Williams it might be a good match, but I think he should stay loyal to Brawn and see what they have to offer (only my opinion of course).

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button, who's the more arrogant? I know which way i'd vote, and it aint in a Frome type direction.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I think both of them can afford to be arrogant. You need to be to drive one of those things on a wing and a prayer.

Lets face it Hamilton was nurtured and tutored to World champ. Jenson fought long and hard along every inch of gravel and tarmac.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Didn't a certain German future world champion jump ship from one team to another in dodgy circumstances(contractualy speaking)?

Arrogance is all around the F1 world, Button took a 60% pay cut, now I know it's not gonna cause him any hardship, but against other drivers of his calibre he has been getting paid less than his market value, to do that out of loyalty to the team/to ensure he was in a good car is no arrogant act in my book.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

yes Schuey was signed to Jordan for the rest of the season then Benetton wanted him. At all flaired up at the Italian GP, Bernie said to him on the Thursday just go to sleep and it will be sorted by the morning and by then he was signed to Benetton with a big cheque going to Jordan.

JT has got the FIA presidency
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/8322393.stm

Also I suggested to my partner a couple of days ago that although I don;t like him it would be interesting if McLaren pulled off a bit of a coup and got both british world champions as thier drivers.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/8322334.stm

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Just got there before me. I really hope I am wrong but I can just see JT being an extension of the old guard :mad:. I really wanted a new start.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

JT is just a MM clone, hence my support was with Ari Vatenan

Woops, cowwected now...thank you :D

Yep, read that last night, they've really messed things up!!

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

as we know JT is the mouthpiece for MM so basically we still have the same man in charge. The cabinet he is using is the same one Max used and the FIA have actually lobeyed for JT all along which is something they aren't legally allowed to do

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

OK Guys, new thread for the 2010 season

So anything to do with the closed season and the new one (unless specifically about 2009) then please use that thread :)

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Glock won't be racing in Abu Dhabi, Kamikaze Kobayashi will replace him instead.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/8327975.stm

And no, that's not a typo. ;)

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Kobayashi replaced him in the last race so nothing new there.. Probably very wise of Time to take the further time off as that crash was major!!

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

I suspect its more to do with getting Kobayshi upto speed for next year.;) Now that we know there will be no Williams/Toyota/Nakajma link I bet the Toyota head honchos want a homeland representative next year. May as well give him as much seat time as possible. He was pretty capable in Brazil, potentially one of the best Japanese racers for while.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Ssssshhhhh!!!! you'll break Nakajima's heart ;)

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

IF you want a heads up on the Abu Dhabi circuit, there is a good article on the James Allen blog.:) Some of the video was shown in the BBC Brazil GP Show I think.

Potentially ;) one of the best Japanese racers for while. Nakajima has had some good days, but has never really nailed it on a consistent basis.

Last practice session of the season is just starting on the BBC red button service (or onthe web)

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Well guys the last day of the season is upon us..

I don't think anyone could have predicted the highs and lows of this year, with JB seemingly running away with the title early on in the season, through NPjr's allegations and subsequent ban of FB, then RB forcing the championship down to the penultimate race and finally finishing off with one of the most well designed tracks I've seen in a long, long time (that is though my own opinion ;) )

Probably nothing like next year which is gonna be a whole new ball game with more teams, no refueling and a new yet not very original fia president..

Well done the 2009 FIA F1 season for at least keeping us on our toes

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Not a very remarkable race. Great push on the last couple of laps by JB, but should have happened a lot sooner. I suspect he only pushed because he had nothing to lose. Disappointment for Lewis; but hey, not a bad last half of a season.

The biggest surprise was the graphical presentation, representing the first corner after the start, I hope they keep that one in for next year's season.
