This Will Be an Interesting Formula One Season!

The only thing that makes me angry is that I just forgot that there was a time change (from winter time to summer time—in Central Europe) so I woke up and turned on the TV 15 minutes after the start of the race.

To be honest, like many others, I am wondering how it is possible, that the Brawn GP team celebrated a double in this race.

Although, as many might have mentioned before, Rubens Barrichello had a big portion of luck to clinch the second spot on the podium, but if Vettel and Kubica would have battled more with their brains then with their cars, Barrichello would have finished in the fourth spot—even though, this would have been a magnificent result for this newly named team.

In this case, I have to say, that it is a big difference to talk about a scene which happened in the race two days ago, in comparison to reacting directly in that moment—for me, this was a normal racing accident, and Vettel should have NEVER been penalized this hard—simply inappropriate.

I think that Vettel only made one mistake in that scene—saying "I am very, very sorry, I am an idiot"—on the team radio.

On the other hand, I remember reading some interviews from middle of January, when both Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello were stating, that their team will have a great car this year.

They were very confident, and this confidence was not just pretended. This was before the team got a new name and acquired a new strong sponsor.

Anyway, I think this will have some effects on the Formula One season 2009, which will not suit FIA. Today, I read an article, that Ferrari is already starting to invest an extra 20 million euros to rebuilt the half of their car (focusing on the diffuser, of course).

But, it is nice to see guys like Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello on the top of the podium.

Some other teams will also have a small advantage in the beginning of the season, but it will get even in the second half of the season...just my prediction.

What is interesting for me personally, is, that Brawn GP state, that they started building this new car already in 2007. If so, that was the best move they ever did.

But, if I look at the past seasons and look at the results of Honda, there might be some truth in those statements.

This weekend was not only about Brawn GP, but about diffusers. And here is the main question which I am thinking about.

Did these three teams, who use the extra diffuser, interpret the rules correctly and the other seven teams just were not as smart, or is something very strange happening here? I DO NOT KNOW! And that drives me crazy.

I do not know, how long in advance the teams get the information about the planned changes in rules, but if they received the rules, which have been planned for this season so long in advance.

Well, then I have to say, that Brawn GP is in a very good position and did an outstanding job.

They do not just have the most beautiful car, but it is the fastest one as well.

Despite this, I remain a Ferrari fan and a fan of good races, but if I should vote for the most beautiful car (in the time, where the cars look pretty worse then the F1 cars from the past 5 years), Brawn GP would have won my personal championship already...
