http://f1insight.madtv.me.uk/ Keep up to date with this post on F1 Insight Clive Allen RSS Feeder-breeder by Mad I have to agree all the way, especially about the "deserving" part. How can a driver who wins a championship fair and square not deserve it? It's like all the flak Panis took winning in Monaco. At the end of the race he had all four wheels, a nose and both wings left on the car. Not many others did. Good on Jens and Brawn GP, though I confess, for purely sentimental reasons I was still hoping for Rub's. And it was good to see some of the old style stewarding wasn't it? Well, that's over so hopefully we'll get to just enjoy the last race...I'm not confident of that, but I can hope for it. And am I the only one to say not a minute too soon to the refueling ban? How many potential disasters does that make now? 19/10/2009 22:09:14 http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=601 Button did it with some gutsy, heart in the mouth passes, esp. kobayashi, given what was at stake for him. Great race. Several charges aided by the quali antics. Button, Vettel impressive. Hamilton started behind them and finished in front. Loved Barichello's apology to Hamilton for harsh tactics, and generous spirit to Button. He's one sporting and fair gentleman who has given a lot to the season. 20/10/2009 02:04:13 http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=601 Fantastic race. Congratulations to Button, Brawn and all thoughts to all those that lost their jobs to enable brawn to carry on. Hamilton also showed why he is the defending champion by driving an unbelievable race. I too was so happy to see sportsmanship win through with Barichello instantly congratulating Jenson and Hamilton being the first of the other drivers to rush over to congratulate him. This is how F1 and indeed every sport should always be, ruthless but fair in competition and sporting off the field. Something that can't be said about Trullis strange behavior. I am also very glad that Kovis pit catastrophe did not cause anything other than embarrassment and it looked like it could have been very nasty at one point, especially for Kimi! It was also nice to see sense prevail from the Brawn pit crew in taking the fuel hose off and letting kovi get the car out of the way in a dangerous part of the pit lane. Lets hope Brawn keep the momentum going and stay a competitive team. 20/10/2009 11:16:11 http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=601 If you win and the scales are fair, you deserve. If you win despite the scales being tilted in the red cars favour, sublime! Outside of Ferrari, during the Schumacher/Todt era, I've never seen a world champion who doesn't deserve to be world champion. I've seen a few who did deserve but didn't succeed due to circumstance... Nice to see Button/Brawn come out on top! 20/10/2009 18:19:40 http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=601 Nick, there was a fair number complaining that Kimi didn't really deserve his, that he more or less lucked into it at McLaren's expense. I'm just glad "the little team that couldn't" while it was owned and operated by the big bad manufacturer come out on top without them. 20/10/2009 19:13:08 http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=601 What a great race compared to the rest of the season. With so many great crashes and overtakes it was a joy to watch (especially as a patriotic brit). Just a shame every race isn't that good! 21/10/2009 20:13:19 http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=601 No way did Button win it in the style of a true WDC... Button is merely the side effect of the double diffuser scam the FIA ran this year. Why would RedBull go to Charlie Whiting with a double diffuser design, and have him reject it as illegal? To me, this is just classic Mosely dirty politics, to keep a dead team in F1, and weaken FOTA... Button has destroyed the whole crediblity of the WDC, as a result of the dirty play by the FIA... Just look at the misdirection Whiting gave in the overtaking group... I don't believe Ferrari and McLaren would miss a simple trick like that, if they weren't intentionally misguided by Whiting... I would like to see Whiting removed from his post, as have most of the people who helped implment Wosely's agenda... 2009 was race fixing, in the sickest sense... 08/03/2010 21:51:02 http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=601 Indeed a very interesting blog. Reading is a pleasure. Cognitive information that is very good. 23/01/2012 11:34:36 http://madtv.me.uk/f1insight/default.aspx?blogid=601
