    You r predicting the championship very early.Remember last year,Hamilton won in the last race and was 1 point ahead of massa. I dont think this year would be different from last year.. EXPECT some surprises

    Nope. I just said this year is the "best chance" for Button to be a world champion. This opportunities don't come to often for him. The last I can remember is in 2004. But Ferrari is so dominant that year, so no chance for him at that time.

    Every one know how F1 world is. No one can predict who is the winner until the checkered flag. Surprise is always a wonderful thing. :D

    Yes and if new cars will not make any impact then we can say that Button is going to win this year F1 Title! Let's see what happen now!

    Britain's Jenson Button took pole position on Saturday for the Spanish Formula One Grand Prix.

    Brawn GP's championship leader will chase his fourth win in five races, with Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel alongside on the front row.

    Rubens Barrichello qualified third for Brawn, with Ferrari's Felipe Massa alongside on an all-Brazilian second row.

    The grid positions are interesting but we will have to wait for a few hours to see what the car weights are, which will give us a better idea of what will happen in the race.


    Barrichello was fastest in the Q2 session, setting the fastest lap of the weekend, ahead of Webber and Glock. Knocked out in that part of the session were Kazuki Nakajima, Nelson Piquet, Nick Heidfeld, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastien Buemi.

    If Button doesn't win the title this year then he never will. I think he's about 29 and won't have a better chance after McLaren and Ferrari slugged it out last year thus neglecting the development of their cars for 2009. Although I'm sure the FIA will do something to bring Ferrari back into the title race...;)

    Ferrari have improve a lot for this Spanish GP but they still doing the same mistake by not asking Kimi to get out during Q1. Duhhh!!! :rolleyes:

    Glad Massa is 4th and he have the heavier car among the top 5. He have KERS on his car and the straight line before the first corner is very long in Spain circuit. That will be something interesting. :D

    I think the most interesting battle will be between Vettel and Button to be honest, I don't think the rest will have much chance although I'll predict Barrichello as 3rd.

    I hope Ferrari don't spoil Massa race with their wrong strategy this time. And I'm really desperate to see Ferrari on the podium once again.

    Jenson Button has been very consistent with his performance this year, and I agree that this his best chance ever to hit the championship title.

    Hopefully, he will keep his head steady and that of his technical staff as well!

    They did it and Massa had to take 3rd pit Stop which doesn't help him! Now we may say that Ferrari's challenge is over now and they need to build car for 2010.

    Button have everything to win the title and if he doesn't win it then it would be sad for him as he has best car on track! What a season! A team who had less chance to participate in this year season is control F1 season.:D

    Yup. Ferrari should consider it a quit for this year championship. But at least what they can do is to win a race this year. They already get the pace back although it still not enough to challenge the Brawn's speed.

    Massa did not actually take the 3rd pit stop but it was as good as taking one as he had to cut down on his speed in the last couple of laps as he had to go hard at conserving fuel to finish the race....costing him 2 position in the final tally! :mad:

    Ferrari camp surely seems to have their heads focused elsewhere! :(

    Yes I means they had to adopt 3 pit stop system just like Rubens! Also I don't know what's going on in Kimi's mind, he is not focus on race and always found with Food.:D

    I really feel very sorry for Rubens as he always is forced to play second fiddle to the other driver in his own team. First, it was Micheal Schumacher while in Ferrari and now it is Jenson Button!

    The three pit stop strategy did him in..yesterday, and Button was very rude in feeling sorry for him..laughing at the same time! :mad:

    Three stops was the quicket stratey though. Rubens just didn't go fast ehough on him third set of soft tyres. Jenson was running at the sam pace a lot of the race but with a heavier fuel load. This is where we won the race, or Rubens lost it more to the point.
