Jenson - the 'turncoat'

Postby Kim on Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:40 am

Hmmmmm - come on then (those of you that are interested in F1) - what do you think of the news that JB going to Mc and therefore in comp with Lewis?????

I am annoyed as paid £25 for a Brawn cap - grrrrr - may be this will be worth money one day - lol :hehe:

They say it will be great for 'viewing' next year but personally I think JB has cocked up!!!!!!!

Views anyone........???

I'm looking forward to it :woohoo:
JB and LH are good friends, the car is getting better every race, they are both good drivers, in a British team.
They will always be racing against each other whether they are on the same team or not. I think his move was timed about right. The Brawn car was awesome at the start of the year, but has fallen back as the season progressed. That doesn't mean that it will fall away next season, but it definitely won't have the advantage of the way they interpreted the new regs last season (double diffuser).
I'm going to have to find a bar In Bansko next March to watch the start of the season !

The way it was reported it didn't sound like he had much choice as mercedes wanted an all german team?
Should be an interesting year... do you think McLaren will do a ferrari and have team orders (even though its not allowed)???

Will also be interesting to see if McLaren car is still making as much progress after getting rid of the Kers system, and to see changes in all cars with the no refuelling rule.

i think its a good move, i think he would struggle in the Brawn oops sorry Silver Arrow!. I think Mclaren have spent more of last season developing next years car, whereas Brawn were hanging on! Lewis is faster, Jenson is more assured and the better overtaker, but with no refuelling ithink the better 1 lap specialist will win the day as starting position is going to be all important, sorry to say but i think there will be less overtaking with the new rules :irked: :irked: lets hope there plenty of rain :alcool:

I can't see there being any improvement by removing re-fueling either :o

me neither, I can see there being some embarrassed faces though in the first few races when they mis-judge the fuel loads, well hoping there will be anyway for a bit of excitement :P
