Local boy made good. I followed JB from BAR to Honda, as it were.

Doesn't make me want to buy a Honda though.  :)

Didn't Jenson Button win his first race in F1 this year, remember hearing something about it.

Do you think he'll get a better constructor, so that he can really show what he can do, with Renault isn't he?

Iceman and others will disagree with me, but I think Jens is the best natural racer in F1.  He's with Honda at the moment.

We'll just have to see, but even with MS gone, their are still a lot of good drivers there.

Nigel Mansell talking about motor sports drains any enthuasm I ever had, he's so monoitone, boring and without any charisma.

LOL, the funny thing is he's from Worcester, so he's not a Brummie. Most people from Worcester hate Brummies, LOL  ;D

I agree that Jenson is a great racer but he is not the best in F1.

He has had 1 win where Kimi has 8 and Alonso 14 (i think).

He does however have the best advantage over all the others as he is staying with Honda and Kimi and Fernando are moving to different teams.

Lewis Hamilton is Britains next best thing though and firmly believe he will win championship before Jenson.

Another thing about Formula One, is if you have two team mates in 1st and 2nd place and the one clearly in the lead lets his team mate win, so he can win the title, etc, doesn't seem very sporting, should each driver just try to win the race, regardless of teams.

Since the infamous Barrichello/Schumacher incident two seasons back that's been banned by the sport.

I didn't realise that, but it's good that they've banned that kind of thing.

2 races into the season and our new boy Lewis has had a 3rd and a 2nd place.

Shame about Jenson he hasn't come really anywhere.

Hopefully Lewis will get a win next week  :)
