Jenson Button- World Champion!
« on: October 18, 2009, 08:20:51 PM »
Congratulations to JB, it's been a long time coming but damn it was worth it  :yahoo:

Also, really good job by everyone in the Brawn team, sensational attitude given the struggles last year, it really is a case of triumph over adversity.  Romance is not yet dead in F1!

Also, I loved the interview with Ross Brawn after the race, seeing how much it meant to him, and the tributes he paid to those he had to let go following the sale by Honda.

Well done to all involved :good:

Fantastic for the whole team (except maybe Rubens).  was that really a puncture?   ;) ;)

Congrats to Jenson, Big congrats to Brawn and like someone said on chat, I bet there is a kick fest going on in the Honda board room today.  Showed them how to leave F1 with heads held high...unlike BMW.

Sorry for Vettel, but I'm glad Button wrapped it up today.  Better to enjoy the last race with an ear to ear grin rather than sweat and nerves.

WAY TO GO BUTTON AND BRAWN!!   :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

 :yahoo: :yahoo: Well done Jenson. Well done Brawn GP. :yahoo: :yahoo:

       :yahoo: :yahoo: Ross Brawn is a living legend!! :yahoo: :yahoo:

It's hard to believe what this team grew from, the ruins of a broken giant in Honda. Who would have thought in January that they would have made it to the grid in Oz let alone go on to win the WDC and the WCC. Only Ross Brawn could have done it, with the help of Nick Fry to give him credit too. They have an amazing team behind them, and their achievements this year has to be one of the greatest stories to come from F1. Thanks for helping make this a great year for F1 and I hope Ferrari can come back and give you a run for your money next year.

Bet the Honda decision makers feel good tonight. :fool:

Well I'm sorry to put a damper on the celebrations.... however.... after reading the story on F1.com, I stand by my remarks that Button is an arrogant little princess.... Proclaiming he was the best all year.... sorry little boy, but your not, you were just lucky enough to be in the team with the best car, with the master tactician Mr Brawn and an amazing team that did what most other teams couldn't.... The only way he could proclaim to be the best was if he had actually performed better in the tougher races for the team, however he languished behind and was out-performed by Barrichello.  And there is something to be said for being a little humble.

Yes he's world champion, and the results I can't argue with, I MUST respect that.  But I will never respect Jenson Button and I still believe he is completely over-rated.

My most heart felt congratulations to Ross Brawn and his team on the constructors title.

This is just my opinion.... and this time I'm not wrong.

If I'd a won, I'd also be saying over and over again that I am WC, but gotta agree that him saying that he was the best over 16 races is a bit of a stretch.  Maybe that he was in FRONT of the others over 16 races, but certainly not the best.  However, there have been many worthy champions, and quite a few not so worthy champions...we can all choose where to put Button.  For this finish to the WDC, he gets my congratulations.  He drove a helluva race. 

I hope he doesn't think that it will make Ross budge a penny on contract offers though.  If Ross' sponsors want Jenson enough and want to pick up his race contract fees, a la Ferrari, then let them.  But if you ask me, Ross should put his money back into the car for next year, not Jenson's pocket.

I have to disagree scott jenson was the best driver over 16 races cos he's won the championship we all worship schumacher cos he's done so well in f1 but let's face it he's had the best car for most of his carrer so fair play to jenson for winning this championship by having the best car for the first 7 races well done jenson

well my hat is off to JB; he knew what had to be done and he went and grabbed the race by the scuff of its neck.
 
I don't think I have ever seen such committed, decisive and precise overtaking as jenson did during the Brazil GP. Simply breath-taking and he is a very worthy World Champion.

Bravo!  :good:

Hi guys and girls!

1st post and a great time to do so!

Congrats to Jenson but the greatest praise has to go to Brawn GP, fantastic job.

The guy won fair and square. It's annoying when people say it's the machinery that did not the driver. Nearly every single World Champion is helped along with the wheels underneath them. It just so happens that this year there have been a lot of cars, being very competitive at different stages, not just the usual Maclaren/Ferrari tussle that we are used to seeing.

Remember not to long a go Kubica led the Championship for a bulk of the season didn't win a race! That’s what F1 is about now with the points system the way it is. Consistency. Jenson has scored in every single race, apart from one race, which he was crashed into!

Defo not up there with the greats, but definitely a worthy champion.

I think this year has been great for F1, apart from the usual pathetic politics that go on, 4 drivers could have won it this year, with none of them being a Ferrari/ Maclaren driver, Jenson came out on top!

P.S. Fantastic race. Skills to Mark Webber and Vettell. Gutted Kubica didn’t win cause I had a bet on him to do so and would have been quids in!
