Ross Brawn just kicked Honda square in the nuts. I love it.

According to Flavio Briatore, here is your World Champion....

I'm sad to see Reubens not grab a world championship, but glad that Brawn stuck it to everyone else and won both titles.

Just frustrating to watch the Championship be won by a rules loop hole rather than by a driver or team on the track.

I would like to look at the points after the first 4 races when everyone else got to change their cars to match the Brawn rear end???

Glad to see Brawn win in the greater picture, but I would have preferred to see the drivers championship won by winning races later in the season rather than just score enough to hold on??? Jenson hasn't won a race in 4 months...


But Congrats to Jenson in the end...He still did what it took to be the best!

Whats it matter if you win at the end or at the beginning? It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Vettel and the other drivers would have had a better chance if they hadn't used their NAWS too early and blown the welds on their intake manifolds.

It matters when you have parts on your car that others were told were against the regulations and then when others were allowed the same parts you NEVER won..

It's not really about winning early and then not later, but I think you get the point.

Dude everyone was allowed to run those diffusers. Like I've said before, the three teams brought up the issue with the rules before the season began and no one changed anything.

and once everyone started to use them it took a race or two to get it right....then Button never won again..... Brawn interpretted the rules a certain way and it paid off, but that IS my point. I don't disagree that Brawn earned it.



AGAIN, Congrats to him and Brawn, I would just have PREFERED it to be different. As much as I didn't really want him to win, Lewis Hamilton drove his way to the championship and as a viewer THAT was more pure to ME.
