Any F1 Fans in the Neighborhood?

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.

Best of luck to him and whatever his future endeavors may be.

Thank you very much. I'll keep you posted on the outcome of his interview, which he should be appraised of in a couple of weeks - it's squeaky bum time for him!

Not sure this is a good move Bruno Senna for Nick Heidfeld.He could barely keep an F1 car on the grey stuff and out of other drivers carbon fibre during his first brief visit to F1. Definitely not a case of "Like father like son" - Formula 1

Not a good move at all.

Squeaky bum time is over for Matt.

He's received a telephone call confirming he's been offered the position and his contract is on its way for his signature.

Obviously, I can't discuss confidential matters on a forum, suffice to say it's a great job with great prospects and we're delighted for him.

That's fantastic news. Make sure he gets Rubino's autograph!

Yes I have been interested in F1 since I was 14 years old and still follow it .
when I was young people thought I was nerd for following it. But things are different now due to BERNIE ECCOLSTONE
reply if you can

Get his autograph? The young whippersnapper will be after his car!

If I weren't before I'm sure as hell jealous now.

Get me an autograph then.

Well he managed about 200 yards before the inevitable crunch of carbon fibre.

Didn't Jenson do well though and Michael, it was a good race.

 

[Ross]

Fantastic race and once again Jenson showed everyone how you go from the back of the pack up to the podium! He sure knows how to look after those tyres, thanks to his dad refusing to buy him wets when he was karting.

jenson more mature than

Again JENSON showing his experience rather than the kid with all the help,l
both exelent drivers but two different worlds

 

[MrNeeds]

I think Martin Brundle summed up Jenson Button quite well with "The Thinker"

 

[seavixen32]

I think the main difference between Jenson and Lewis is in the head.

One has a brain that he uses to his advantage, the other is not even aware he's got a brain at times.

i think Lewis will learn, the question is, how many crashes will he have before he realises that, granted, the last crash he had wasn't his fault, but many crashes he's had are due to angry driving

 

[seavixen32]

I hope he does.

He's proved he can drive and if he could temper his aggression with some of Jenson's smooth technique, Lewis would be a better driver overnight.

Ditching his Dad was a big mistake that has now been rectified, but I think it has caused lasting psychological damage.

 

[MrNeeds]

He is maturing, compared to 2 years ago, he's no longer that silly littlerisk taking boy, but he's got a long way to come with his temper.

Quite impressed with Mr Alonso though, he's being very reserved but consistent of late

It's funny how everyone thinks Hammy's father is the root of his recent jackassery. I'm not arguing against it, I'm just saying of every F1-related thread I've been in that's the basic summation. I must haven't been paying enough attention to notice it.

Anyhoo, the race was fantastic, right up until the second half; started off fantastically, full of excitment, crashes, the Safety Car, and even droplets of rain. Once the second half of the race came around it, somehow, became progressively boring. Red Bull is seemingly back on top, Webber could very well have won the race had it not been for his awful start which he's been doing a lot lately, which further leads me to believe that he could be a lot closer to Vettel than he is currently. The star, of course, would be Jenson. The guy that never says die -- of all of the drivers on the field (even my own favorite) Jenson seems to have the best strategies and can most often make them work even in the worse case scenarios.

Brilliant drive. Horrible second half to the race. And what the heck happened to Ferrari's pace?

I think they have given up on this years championship and are concentrating on next years car.I've read a few articles this week that are suggesting they will be a force to be reckoned with next season.
I for one wouldn't doubt that. Alonso in a competitive car, will be fun.
