Another Win In Turkey

Filed under: F1 — flanok @ 12:04 pm

You wouldn’t dare write in within a Hollywood script because no one would believe it. 5 months ago a driver about to be made redundant, today a winner of 6 races out of 7, just amazing.  It makes you wonder just how anyone can catch him, even if he stopped winning races, the competition would have to win all theirs and for Jenson Button (who we are speaking about by the way) not to finish.

Lewis at the back, who finished 13th is going through a huge learning curve. He has been so used being on winning teams, even before he came into F1. It is a testament that motoring racing is not just about the skill of the driver it is about the machinery below him and the team around. If there is a break in any one part of the chain, you go from hero to zero. Lewis’s success will not be based around the ability to help the team improve and get through this difficult time. Of course he could consider moving teams.

Ross Brawn however must now be thinking that that pay cut assigned to Jenson Button may have been a bit premature and a new contract should be looked at, although Jenson have proved loyal to Honda and you can’t see him not wanting to win anymore by moving teams.

Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettell was not happy with his strategy, based on tha fact Red Bull pretty much knew half way through the Grand Prix that Mark Webbers (team mate) strategy was better than his. As Sebastian had started on pole, he did feel a bit let down especially when Mark Webber finished in front of him.

Even though Jenson is running away with the title challenge, it is still turning out to be a great F1 motoring season, the next race is Silverstone and I can’t wait.
