Variable conditions you would have to fancy Jenson.Like Terronium said I think Ferrari and Mclaren had caught up to RB a bit after the last race and with no testing over the summer break nothing should have changed there.
For the viewers sake I hope thats the case because another 1-2 wins for Seb and the seasons as good as over.(Plus im biased as you all know im a massive Mclaren fan)

Well I'm hoping Jenson does well this weekend but as usual we'll have to wait and see, a lot will depend on the weather.
Joan, Jenson Button is my 19-year-old grandson's favourite current F1 driver.
He's 19 now, but when he was 8, his Dad took him to Silverstone. Matt saw Button at the circuit and asked for a photograph and Jenson couldn't have been kinder. He happily posed with the young lad while photographs were taken, and then he took the youngster on a tour of the pit lane and garage.
As a result of that, Matt decided to seek a career in F1 racing as a race engineer/technician. He's just completed his three-year apprenticeship at Silverstone and has worked with a local company building racing cars, and then running them at tracks worldwide.
He's just had an interview with Williams/Jaguar today and will know shortly whether he's been successful, but the interview went very well as money and contracts were discussed.
If he gets the job, he's been promised a transfer to the Williams F1 team in three year's time.
As his grandparents we're very proud of him and it's so good to see that not all Britain's youngsters are layabouts.

Terronium, that's very kind of you to say so.
If the lad gets the job we know he'll be offered better terms at his current job as he is highly thought of there.
However, there'll be no possibility of progression to an F1 team so he knows in his own mind which course he's got to take.
Good luck to him Andrew, from seeing him on television and hearing about him Jenson does come over as being a really nice person so I can imagine it was a very big thrill for your grandson when he met him.
Wishing him the best of luck in whichever route he goes with.
