Brazilian Grand Prix

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Well this is odd, this isn’t the final race of the season, but once again, the F1 championship has been decided in Brazil…again!

First things first, I’m enjoying a few pints so this blog is written slightly under the influence!

And next thing, congratulations to Mark Webber winning the Brazilian Grand Prix and his 2nd Grand Prix win this year. I do wish the camera’s did look at him more today, but if you are a F1 fan, you know where all the camera’s were looking at.

Next, congratulations to Jenson Button for winning the FIA world Championship, and to Brawn GP for winning the FIA Constructors Championship. The story of how they won it this year is one that won’t be repeated. I didn’t think Brawn had a chance at beginning of the year, until their first test at earlier this year, they was rated at the dirt bottom price of £4 million for the start of the FF1GP season.

If anyone is wondering how much they will be next year, it will be the top notch price of £16 million, however I will say the prices for FF1GP 2010 are yet to be fully confirmed.

So back to this Grand Prix weekend. I was away down in Plymouth seeing my family, who are all just as interested in F1 as me. I was staying with my brother and watching the F1 coverage on the TV until about 7.30pm where we had to head off to a meal at an Italian restaurant for 8pm.

If anyone was following the F1 qualifying, well it took a long time to decide the grid due to the rain. Qualifying was not decided until 9pm UK time, so I was using every means to see the qualifying. I had to resort to streaming the BBC on my N95 phone while working down to the restaurant and sneaking a few clips while in restaurant to see what was happening as well, but as I said earlier everyone was interested, even if it was a little bit of shock to find Jenson qualifying in 14th when the first course arrived!

Next to the race, I made it back to my home 10 minutes late for the start of the F1 coverage on the BBC, since the M5 was being dug up and I’m not allowed to drive quicker than a F1 car. (And my car can’t do 180mph either!)

Still it was fantastic race to watch. I do like Rubens Barrichello, and I do wish he did win his home Grand Prix. He has brought so much to Brawn GP. It’s rumoured he’s off to Williams, but I hope he stays at Brawn, as he and Ross Brawn can bring that winning experience to Brawn GP, not that I knock Nico Roeberg for his racing, I just feel Rubens with his 16 years of F1 experience can still make a difference at Brawn.

Now to the FF1GP results. They are marked provisional, as the results at the official F1 results are marked that way. There was a few collisions which the Stewards are looking at, but none that I think should have affected the results. If they do change, I will post them up here.

However this year’s winner isn’t decided yet. ARH F1 may have the lead of 22 points, but in FF1GP nothing gets decided until the last race, and with at least 16 (Or more) other teams in contention, it will go down to the wire here!

In the mean time, I’m going to join the F1 party…where is that pub in Somerset?!
