I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know the song which ITV4 has been using all year when they show the grid? At one point they used Dizee Rascal, but that isn't the right song.
I reckon what I said a couple of months back still stands true.
Before now, one could say that he actually hasn't been aggressive enough. That was nearly shown to be right in Race 3. But luckily he realised he had to start using his elbows. In a cruel twist of fate, his aggression nearly cost him the championship! That car was a crab for the last 10 laps. It's amazing he was able to drive properly.
I'm so happy for Colin. He's waited 8 years for this, and is one of the most deserving champions in the history of the BTCC. Fantastic. Let's hope the BTCC can find something magic next year before all the big names and cars migrate to other series...
Gutted for Arena and Chilton, losing their victory at the last corner. But that said, that's one of the best finishes I've ever seen in the BTCC! You do sometimes see the leaders go over the line side-by-side but I can't remember the last time the lead actually changed after the last corner.
Interesting race. I really love the track; I forgot how interesting it is. It's a shame it's horribly dangerous.
Not entirely sure what your point is here... Grosjean was unfortunately placed when the SC came out and was between Trulli and Vettel. Hardly his fault. He got out of everyone's way when it was safe to do so.
Wow, what a crazy session that was. Seb-crash-tian Buemi somehow managed to wreck the car twice and carry on driving.
Not impressed with the TV directing of the session; at one moment the director spent 20 seconds looking at the Force India garage when nothing was going on. I've never been impressed with the Japanese TV director.
But, should be a very interesting race tomorrow with Button down in 7th.
Oh crikey Alex, that really sucks a lot. I'm really hope, and am sure there will be other opportunities. Good luck for whatever you do next/carry on doing
They wouldn't have won the 6 races, no. I'm sure they would have won races and I reckon Button would probably still be the championship leader, but by less of a margin. All of this is just guessing, there's no way to turn back time and see what could have been.
Hopefully next year it will be easier to see who is actually the best driver.
Barrichello has won since, and the Brawns are very much on the pace. What's more, other teams were using the double diffuser and not performing nearly as well as the Brawns. But Button really has let his game slip lately. I hope he can win the championship in style, winning at least one more race this season.
