Jenson stopped winning !!! it dont make a proper sense. Brawn might be a out developed car , but you need to think that with that out developed car Barrichello won races.

so jenson dint stop winning.....the real thing is he is not capable enough to win.

from the article you can see that jenson won the races when brawn was on their MARKIII design where others were on MARKI.

barrichello won with brawn while brawn was uot developed.

so from that article it is clear that jenson isnt a worthy champion.

... it is clear that jenson isnt a worthy champion.

The goal of the drivers is to earn the most championship points over the course of the entire season with the car that they are contracted to drive. By nature of competition and the formulation of the rules, some cars will be better than others depending on how well developed they are at different stages in the season. Jenson was contracted to drive a car that was superior to others out of the gate and scored a lot of points early in the season. Enough points in fact, that he didn't have to push as hard as everyone else the remainder of the season. No, he didn't win races at the end of the year, but he still finished with 9 podium finishes and only finished out of the points once, when he got together with Grosjean at Spa. Just because he didn't run away with the championship, doesn't mean he didn't earn it under the same competition rules as every other driver.

All the drivers are competing with the understanding that the cars are developed differently, and they all agree to the same point format. Let the chips fall where they may...

Congratulations to Jenson for being a worthy champion.

A lot of tosh gets posted here these days. You guys remind me of stupid football or rugby commentators who say, yeah this team won the second half. A game is won over 17 races or 90 minutes. Not half of that. Brawn always knew the other teams would catch up. The fact that Jenson won almost everything in sight before they did makes him worthy. He stopped winning because the other cars became better. From then on he 'managed' the situation, which (as much as I like him, and I do) Lewis failed to do the 2 years before. He even won the stupid medals Olympiad which Princess Tamara's old man schemed up. Fairs fair. He IS the champion.

I count this 'management' of the situation as tosh as well. Brawn and Jenson simply got lucky that a bunch of cars rose to race winning status on the different circuits in the second half of the season and that their main rival did not resort to ruthless team order. Do we need a reminder that Toyota, Williams and even Force India were in contention for race wins in the second half of the season.

Well fact is that he kept his nose out in front. Lucky or not, that is what I call management.

He is the Champion, and history will not dispute that fact.

sport is not about being in contention for a win, it is about winning.
and being better prepared for the season is not just a luck.

Button stopped winning because he was not good enough.


A "worthy" champion in the mould of Damon Hill or Jacques Villeneuve.

What other thread?

barrichello won with brawn while brawn was uot developed.

For a bit of balance to this statement, Jenson did win 6 races while Barrichello had the same car at the start of the season. Where was Barrichello then?

I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but this one looked hungry.

1. The Champion is the champion because he gathered the most points. That's pretty fair to me.
2. Button is the champion because he won 6 races while Barrichello could not in the early stages of the season.
3. Seriously, is this thread going anywhere? I think not...
