Have been a few dull ones this season but todays was a good watch watch! Plenty of overtakes and drama even though i was hoping for rain!
Not a big Button fan but have to hand it to him for that drive today. Deserved to get the championship out of it.
Also fair play to Mark Webber for the win and Vettel for another great drive.
New boy Koboyashi must have shocked a few people too - especially Nakajima  ____________________ Harold_Shand wrote: I suppose it's like anything, you get your fingers burned when you start out, you learn from it and eventually become a complete arsehole about the whole thing. |

I don't personally believe he's a worthy world champion. If there wasn't so much controversy over all the new regulations and it was the same as last season, Hamilton would have taken it.
It's nice for two British drivers to win it two years in a row, but I'm sticking by Hamilton.

Fully deserved the Championship this season, 9 years he's been in it now. Always been a consistant and fast driver over the years but was always let down by the Honda team, brilliant result. ____________________ |--Previous--|:2007 Aprilia SX50... --Current--|: 2007 Kawasaki ER-6N

I think his dedication to the team has finally paid off. A few years ago he had the opportunity to bugger off to the more promising Williams team, but he fought hard to stay put and develop the car further.
Also, gotta feel sorry for Webber. It's not often he wins a race, but he drove a good race today and got totally overshadowed by Button. ____________________ Current: ZZR1400

Wouldn't of won if other drivers hadn't been let down by their teams. |
, He's won 6 races so far this season. Vettel has only won 3 and Barrichello has won 2. ____________________ Current: ZZR1400

Button was the best driver this year, so he deserves the championship. Simple.

Just because the world champion wasn't a smug german cunt winning every race by over a minute and the fact there were more than two teams pretty much always in the running for a win, doesn't mean that Button isn't a worthy winner.
IMO he is more a worthy winner than many others before him.
Consistent, sensible, calculating. That's what he had. Hamilton would have buckled under the pressure in many of the situations Button had been in, think of how many mistakes he made during the 2008 season, yet he got away with it because Mclaren were nigh on impossible to touch.
Good on Button a real racer, some of those overtakes today were superb.
Although my new favourite driver is koboyashi, I hope he secures a permanent drive next year! ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

I think Jenson Button deserved it for his loyalty to Honda and the fact that he is a bloody good driver. Every world champion needs a car under him that is competitive, at the very minimum. The regulations caught everyone out this year and whether the FIA bottled the diffuser question or not is a moot point. The red bulls have been fast all season and Button has done more than enough to keep them behind for the first part and then in sight for the latter part of the season.
The bloke is one of the smoothest drivers on the grid and let's face it, he's a more grounded champion than Hamilton could ever be. Button was competing in the same tri-athlon as my little brother a few months back, all for charity, I doubt Hamilton would have done that.
I like seeing back-to-back British F1 champions and I do think that Hamilton is the more talented driver but let's not take anything away from Button, he is a worthy world champion for 2009.
Cheers

First I'll echo the good sentiment towards Button - he deserved it! I think he managed more overtakes this season than everyone else put together.
One thing i think a lot of people missed was Jonathan Legard's question to Jordan it went something along the lines of "so Eddie - can you describe what it's like to be a team owner and a team boss, with your name above the door and to achieve such success". Eddie of course went into his standard waffle and Legard just stood there trying to keep a straight face Coultard managed to hide all but the tiniest smirk at the end. ____________________ current: ducati monster 750
