The Honda/Brawn was developed early, but so was the BMW the Renaults and the Red Bull's in fact it was only McLaren and Ferrari that compromised '09 to develop the '08 cars. Nimmier you obviously know nothing about F1. Vitantonio Liuzzi Force India-Mercedes 023. He surely will become ranked as among the great ones. Once that was rectified, he was back to his old form again, but if you had to pick a future world champion from those who have yet to win the title, you couldn't look past Sebastian Vettel. But the final two races – Brazil and the multi-million-dollar Abu Dhabi extravaganza – saw Button back on his brilliant original form.īutton’s title success meant that we were celebrating back-to-back British world champions, although outgoing title-holder Lewis Hamilton struggled with a very difficult McLaren-Mercedes for the first part of the year. He then went through a phase when he tried to drive tactically and tentatively, which didn’t really work. So Jenson had a brilliant car – the best – at the wheel of which to demonstrate his Prost/Schumacher-style shimmering precision at the wheel during the first half of the season. In a sense the team most disadvantaged by the FIA’s judgement was Red Bull, whose tech chief, Adrian Newey, had configured his latest Renault-engined contender with pullrod rear suspension, a choice he admits he would not have made had he believed the double diffuser option would be deemed in conformity with the rules by the powers that be. This aerodynamic appendage was given the green light by the FIA at a court of appeal hearing early in the year, leaving most of the other teams – McLaren included – playing catch-up. The Brawn-Mercedes – along with rivals Williams and Toyota – opted to use the big aero tweak of the season: the controversial ‘double diffuser’. And then bequeathed that design and its aerodynamic excellence to new owners Ross Brawn and Nick Fry. On the other hand, you could say that Honda sacrificed the second half of 2008 to make sure they had a winning car in 2009.
