Jenson showed everyone how he could race yesterday and pulled some craft old moves there, a worthy World Champion!
Great to see everyone at Brawn celebrating too. They all deserve the win.

Well done Jenson Button and Brawn GP at winning the Drivers and Constructors Championships.

Glock out of the Brazilian GP with a back injury.
Donington given 2 more weeks to prove they have the finances available to complete the project. I've written them off long ago and if that means Silverstone gets the GP back, I'm all for it.

Well done to Dario Franchitti on winning the Indycar Championship.
Crazy race that with no yellow flags and Franchitti driving a fuel strategy race while Briscoe and Dixon ran flat out and needed a splash of fuel to go to the end. Franchitti just drove straight past them while they were coming out of the pits.

I think the problem for those chasing now is that they have to score big points. Back when Raikkonen pinched the title, there wasn't any team to play spoiler. It was just McLaren and Ferrari slugging it out.
With McLaren back at the front winning races, it is harder for the Red Bulls and Brawns to win or score big points. It only takes a difficult qualifying session and you could be behind a McLaren, Ferrari, Williams, Toyota, BMW, Force India or a Renault. There are far too many cars that can play spoiler and that is why history is unlikely to repeat itself. I'd much prefer the points on the board and 3rd place for Button wins the title regardless of where anyone else finishes.

As with last season, it looks like 2009's F1 is coming down to the wire, or at least the penultimate race.
Unless he's really lucky, I don't think Button will gain the championship in the next race, possibly at the end of the season instead.
However, he's still got two other drivers to contend with now and Sunday's race made sure we'll have a 3 horse race again, keeping them all on their toes.
It's not just about the winner either. McLaren want to prove they've got something for next year so Hamilton will be out to get as many points as possible, Alonso sounds like he's assured of the driver's seat at Ferrari now but he'll want to impress his new bosses before he starts and Raikkonen has everything to prove to leverage the best contract wherever he goes next year (most likely McLaren)

Started off as a really good race and sort of tailed off a bit, but then it got exciting again at the end. I do like the night racing, it mixed things up a little bit.
I see Raikkonen seems to be all but confirmed for McLaren next year, it's all just legal work with his year's contract at Ferrari, which means Alonso is set for the Italian team then.

No one was catching Hamilton today. Had the race under control from the start. A costly couple of mistakes from Vettel and he is pretty much out of the title picture now. Webber now cannot win the title.
Brawn are pretty much nailed on for the Constructors Championship. Button just needs to keep Barrichello in sight or behind and it'll be the title for him. I don't see Button beating Barrichello in Brazil so Japan is going to be key for Button.
Looking forward to seeing Suzuka again. Really like the track.

I think the FIA granted him immunity just so that they could get to the truth, which it seems that they have found. The problem though is that Piquet Jnr was part of the conspiracy. Unless his dad runs an F1 team in the future, Piquet Jnr will probably never race in F1 again, just because he has made himself unemployable.
