I am so confident that Jensen button will finish in the points that I am going to put a bet on him winning the world championship, I know it’s a bit late now, the odds are not very good, but he only has to finish in the points in the rest of the races to take it, one thing for sure Jensen is very consistent & not a car breaker, & Ferrari & Hamilton wil be taking points away from Red Bull,so he is sitting pretty.

Now who’s the Dean?

Good point Tom.
Regarding point 2, I suspect it may have more to do with how difficult it is to overtake anyone rather than how well Trulli is able to defend.

And the Trulli train often gives us more chance of action behind him as the cars are all bunched up and fighting each other.
So we should celebrate it, not mock it!

People do like to criticise/laugh at the Trulli train, but few people realise/are willing to admit that it’s the result of 1) Trulli outqualifiying what the machinery should be capable of, and thus placing himself ahead of faster cars, and 2) Trulli being an excellent defensive driver! After all, a Trulli train is far more impressive than a series-of-faster-cars-all-passing-him-without-difficulty!

I’m hoping for a Brawn resrgence. It’s clear thier upgrades haven’t done a thing. n fact, they’ve been pedallingbackwards. They were introduced for Silvertone, and ever since thy’ve prety much been in freefall. They should strip the BGP-001 back to its Istanbul-spec parts and run it from there.

The other thing I picked up on is that they were one of the very few teams who are doing two weeks of operations back-to-back. Almost every other team kept their factories open for a week after Hungary, closed for the fortnight and then opened a week before Valencia. Brawn closed immediately after Hungary and opened up a week ago. I don’t know how much difference it would make, but I should think two weeks of straight work would be better than two weeks broken up by fourteen days of nothing.

Come on, JB. We need this one.

I think Brawns honeymoon period is over. Rumours are that they are running low on cash – right wehn they need to be spening £££ to find out what is wrong with their car.

I totally agree that they will be taking resources from 2010 and putting fully into 2009 as this is their one chance (at least for the next few years).
