Felipe Massa's Progress

August 14, 2009

Rubens Barrichello visited Felipe Massa yesterday. You’ll remember it was the spring from Rubens’ car that hit Massa’s helmet and caused the crash. Although it was totally outside of Rubens’ control I can only imagine how he must have felt. Luckily Massa seems to be making good progress – which is wonderful news. Here’s the [...]

Webber Can Win The WDC

August 13, 2009

And why not..?  He’s 18 points behind Button with 7 races to go – absolutely Webber can win the championship. But what gets me is that by the 2nd or third race of the season everyone was saying Button was going to win it. Now the talk is of his ‘rapidly shrinking lead’.  It’s dropped [...]

Mr Happy Emailed His Team And…

July 24, 2009

Reports in a couple of the online magazines today say that Barrichello emailed his Brawn team mates to apologise for his Nurburgring outburst after being prompted by Ross Brawn in a phone call. Apparently they’ve all kissed an made up – which I hope bodes well for Brawn this weekend. However, I do think it [...]

We Can Shout at The Team …

July 22, 2009

Jenson Button: “…We could shout at the team about improving things but they know what they’ve got to do…”. Is that a little bit of interesting internal politics I see there..? Call me suspicious, but given Rubens Barrichello’s outburst after the German GP, which was not smart, I do think Jenson may be trying to [...]

A Touch of Contrition…

July 17, 2009

A touch of contrition from Rubens Barrichello as he tweets that he’s ‘over it’.  Here’s more. I wonder, though, how the rest of his season will go, because outbursts like that are not the best way to endear yourself to the rest of your team, especially when your team is already under pressure. The team [...]

Barrichello Lets Rip at Brawn

July 13, 2009

Oops..! Not so smart Rubens – at least not in public like that. I can understand his frustration, some of which is doubtless driven by memories of having to play second fiddle to MS at Ferrari, but outbursts like this do not help when your team’s under pressure. At the end of the day, yesterday, [...]

Can Jenson Do It In Germany?

July 10, 2009

Finally – an F1 article that actually talks about racing, instead of the ridiculous goings-on with the FIA. Can Button win at the  Nurburgring this weekend? I hope so. I’ve been a Button fan for a long time. He’s had a tough few years with terrible cars but now, with a competitive car, he’s demonstrating [...]

Ross Brawn Wins the MIA Award

July 8, 2009

Ross Brawn has always been one of the best at what he does, but nothing could illustrate that more clearly than his impact on what was Honda and is now BrawnGP. Remember – BrawnGP is the same team that was called Honda until the end of last year. Brawn has achieved World Championship wins with [...]
