What a Cracker, Jenson..!

April 19, 2010

OK – now I’m swallowing my words in large mouthfuls..! A few weeks ago, after the Bahrain GP, I was critical of Jenson Button’s apparent attitude during the race – for deliberately taking it easy. Now, 3 races later, he’s leading the driver’s championship.  He’s also out-qualified Lewis Hamilton 3 – 1, and won two [...]

Australian Grand Prix: Now That’s More Like It

March 28, 2010

Yes – Melbourne was definitely a much better race than Bahrain was. And I have to eat my words: after slagging off Jenson Button 2 weeks ago he came good today. In style. A typical Jenson race: no drama, no histrionics – just a smooth, measured race in which he made the right calls at [...]

What a Boring Race..!

March 15, 2010

Well – I hope not all of the races this year are going to be like yesterday’s season opener at Bahrain.  That was the least interesting race I’ve seen for ages. Among the front runners there were two overtaking moves in the first lap (Alonso on Massa and Rosberg on Hamilton) and that was it. [...]

Schumacher’s Return – What a Season 2010 Will Be

December 24, 2009

So my second prediction proved wrong too..! I said a while ago that Jenson would be crazy to move to McLaren – and he moved.  I also said Schumacher would be crazy to return – and he has. I won’t be charging a lot for my fortune telling services in future But, doesn’t that make [...]

Great article on Nick Fry and his comments on Jenson Button's loyalty Quote from Chris Sylt: "…To question Jenson Button's loyalty to the team is outrageous…" Hear hear..! Couldn't agree more. When Nick Fry came out with that comment after Jenson signed for McLaren I was gob-smacked. Given that, as this article points out, Jenson [...]
