Ross Brawn and his truckload of championships on Sir Jense. I bet a lot of you didn't know RB had his eye on Sir Jense for a seat at Ferrari. Too bad Marco wasn't here, he could have filled you in on that story.


He is such a smooth driver it is incredible."
"I think the car is hopefully going to get better over the next few months and he is going to naturally improve because he is hugely talented and two years of beating your head against the wall takes it out of anyone.

"I think we are very impressed today, he never put a wheel wrong. His times on the prime tyres in the middle of qualifying were just stunning."

Its about time Jenson got a car under him. Not even Jesus could have won with the RA107 and RA108.

Jenson haters? That'd be me. He's doing a marvelous job this season. But that doesn't wash away all the miserable restarts I've seen him flub. And he hasn't needed to move through much traffic. Let's see how he does when he's set back in pack.

Did quite well last race recovering from a lap of snap oversteer until his tires warmed passing 4 cars to get back to 1st.

Some of those passes were easy because the cars took themselves out.

Hi, I'm right here...

Yes, Brawn has created a great car, a VERY fast car.
Yes, JB has done very well in qualifying and in the races themselves.
Yes, LH rubs me in the wrong direction much more than JB

I'm still not a JB fan, but I'll admit he is having a great season so far. I can't wait until the other teams catch up to the Brawn so we get to see JB starting from some other place than 1st.

I want him to win a good clean race without " circumstances " (Rain Shortened, Key Competitors crashing out, Late Yellow Flags etc.)

I had the pleasure of watching him lead Indy for about 14 laps back in 2003. I was in a sea of Ferrari fans and loved every minute of it, then the Honda went Kablammooo.
