Is Brawn favoring Button!!!!!!!

Much has been said since yesterday about Brawn GP changing Button to a 2-stop strategy, which eventually won him the race, and left his team mate, who had been leading for most of the first half of the race, in second.

Barrichello was visibly disappointed, when he was pipped to pole by not only Vettel, but his team mate Button, who he had been quicker than all weekend.

It was at the point when the strategy calls in Brawn GP became pivotal; Button was switched from the planned 3-stop strategy to a 2-stop, in fear that he would have been stuck behind Rosberg, who was fuelled long. Something which was proved, when Barrichello, came out on track less than a second ahead of the Williams.

So why didn’t Brawn GP switch Barrichello to a 2-stop?

Ross Brawn after the race stated a 3-stop strategy was a quicker option, and Barrichello’s times in the first half of the race go to prove that, however what ever happened to Barrichello in the second half of the race was his downfall, and whether it was just a case of Barrichello not pushing hard enough, or him having as issue with his car, it seems clear that the 3-stopper was a quicker strategy. Essentially they put Button on the slightly compromised strategy to make sure he was held up, potentially costing the team a 1-2

Ross also stated that the strategy used was essentially going to let Barrichello win, it just didn’t happen that way on track.

Spanish Grand Prix Qualifying Q2 Results!!!!

Te Q2 Session has just come to an end and the Ferrari dominance seem to slip down a little bit. Rubens Barrichello heads the time sheets for Q2. It was Felipe Massa who was leading in Q1 but now its again the Brawn GP.

The bad times for Mclaren Mercedes still continue with Lewis Hamilton not making through the Q3 and he is down to 14 on the grid. His team mate Heikki did not go through to Q2 and is at the very back of the grid.

The top 5 for Q2 are Barrichello, Glock, Webber, Massa and button.

The Q3 session has just begun and will update the results soon. I personally feel it will be Barrichello who will take the pole in the Spanish Grand Prix!!!!!!

Ross Brawn believes Button can rule

Ross Brawn believes Jenson Button has proven he has the ability to be a world champion. Three victories from the opening four grands prix of this season.

Jenson Button has a 12 points lead over team mate Rubens Barrichello.

The Brawn has so far proven bullet-proof, with both cars finishing the opening four races in the points. Brawn, though, concedes his car is now tired and stale and in need of the fresh developments that will come in Spain.

Jenson Button In Brawn GP Winner Again!!!!!

Jenson Button is the winner for the Bahrain Grand Prix. Well Toyotas were the leaders in the qualifying yesterday but today they dropped down at the start of the race. Hamilton did a great move at the first corner and was in third place. But the Mclaren is not a competitive car yet so he dropped back. Brawn GP's Ross Brawn played a great strategy with Jenson Button and got him ahead of Trulli with the pit strategy and then Jenson Button never looked back. He increased his advatange over Trulli who was strugglin with the option tyres (Hard Compound Tyres) and was not able to match the pace.

Vettel on the other hand came second with a sensible pit strategy. Glock completely lost it and was at the end of championship points. Barrichello had interesting 3 pit-stop strategy which was not looking that good but in then end it put him ahead of Raikkonen and in the 5th place. Way to go Ross Brawn.

Overall a very interesting and very very hot race. And luckily there was no sandstorm and none of the teams had reliability issues. Felipe Massa's badluck still continues and he was outside the points.

But Kimi Raikkonen finally gave Ferrari their first championship points this season. This will definitely be a moral booster for the World Champion Team!!!!

The top five for the Baharain Grand Prix are Jenson Button, Sebastien Vettel, Jarno Trulli, Lewis Hamilton and Rubens Barrichello respectively.

The complete race results will be updated soon.

Bravo!!!!! Brawn GP!!!!!

Brawn Gp had pace issues

The championship leader went into the race hoping to complete a hat-trick of race wins. His hopes were dealt a blow when clouds gathered for the first time this weekend. Vettel managed to stay ahead for the majority of the race. Mark Webber and Button vying for second but the Australian came out on top.
Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button struggled in the rain because they have not tested their car in the rain before the season started.
