Fantastic race this morning (I fell asleep at the finish), well done to Button for getting the win on his 200th race.

Now there's a 3-week break.

lol, I feel asleep 10 laps before the end.


3 week break. Great for the drivers and teams - boo for the spectators.

Funny.

I always thought that what made a real man a real man was his penis

F1 is finally back in the air again and this weekend we're at Spa!

Only other two tracks I'm this excited for are Monaco and Monza. Red Bull's dominance seems to be withering away at the hands of Alonso, Button, Hamilton, and Massa, and considering Spa is a high speed track the RB7 is already at a disadvantage compared to the MP4-26 and F150.

Predictions, predictions, predictions....

The weather forecast light rain Friday heavy showers Saturday and fair Sunday. Should make it interesting.

It looks like the rain with only affect practice and qualifying.

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 12]

That's incredibly inspirational.

I wish something like that had happened to me.

 

[seavixen32]

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.

 

[Joan Archer]

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.
