Brawn GP Racing Team

Firstly my apologies for my poor and lack of coverage for this weekends Belgian GP. For det første er min undskyldning for min dårlige og manglende dækning for denne weekends belgiske GP. Being bank holiday here in the UK and myself being in a tourism lead job meant I missed most of qualifying myself and had little time to update the blog. Er helligdag her i England og mig selv at være i en turisme føre job betød, jeg gik glip af det meste af kvalificerede mig selv og havde lidt tid til at opdatere bloggen.

Spa provided us with a rain free race day this year, however the drama was to be caused by the events on track and not the weather. Spa givet os en regn gratis løbsdagen i år, men dramaet var at være forårsaget af begivenhederne på sporet og ikke vejret. Rubens starting in 4th but with the lightest car on the grid really needed to get a good launch into turn 1. Rubens starter i 4., men med den letteste bil på nettet virkelig er brug for at få en god start på tur 1. Jenson on the other hand down in 14th needed a good launch and plenty of luck to not get collected into turn 1. Jenson på den anden side ned på en 14. brug for en god start og masser af lykke til ikke at få indsamlet i tur 1. Unfortunately Rubens found his car in anti stall once again after dumping the clutch to get away off the line, leaving him last on the grid. Desværre Rubens fundet sin bil i anti stalden igen efter dumping koblingen for at komme væk fra den linje, der forlader ham sidst på nettet.

Rubens commenting on the situation: Rubens kommentere på situationen:
"Third time that we have that and I feel sorry really, it shouldn't happen," Barrichello told the BBC. "Tredje gang, at vi har det, og jeg føler virkelig ked af, bør det ikke ske," Barrichello fortalte BBC. "But honestly I haven't checked what happened but it was pretty much the same thing as the last races that I had [the slow start]. "Men helt ærligt, jeg har ikke tjekket, hvad der skete, men det var stort set det samme som det sidste løb at jeg havde [den langsomme start].

"I dumped the clutch and the anti-stall comes in and the car is not moving." "Jeg dumpede koblingen og den anti-stall kommer ind og bilen ikke er i bevægelse."

Jenson however had a stellar start and managed to eek his way into 8th by the 1st turn. Jenson imidlertid haft en stjernebesat start og formåede at eek sin vej ind i 8 efter 1. tur. However he wasn't prepared for what was about to come at Les Combes, Romain Grosjean punted Jenson from behind putting him into a spin which was also a catalyst for the dimise of Lewis Hamilton and Jaimie Alguersuari's departure from the race. Men han var ikke forberedt på, hvad der var ved at komme på Les Combes, punted Romain Grosjean Jenson bagfra sætte ham ind i et spin, som også var en katalysator for dimise af Lewis Hamilton og Jaimie Alguersuari afgang fra løbet.

Jenson had the following to say about the incident and the race weekend: Jenson havde følgende at sige om hændelsen og race weekend:
"It can always be worse," Button said. "Det kan altid blive værre," sagde Button. "Also it could have been a lot better. Rubens got a bad start, had a problem and I was up in 12th or 11th, and it could have been a good race for me until I got hit at turn five." "Også det kunne have været meget bedre. Rubens fik en dårlig start, havde et problem, og jeg var oppe på 12. eller 11., og det kunne have været et godt løb for mig, indtil jeg fik ramt på tur fem."

He added: "After the accident now it's a relief, but having Rubens behind at the start was a good position to be in, and just behind the Red Bulls as well. So it was very disappointing when I actually crashed, but then to watch the race after... Han tilføjede: "Efter ulykken nu er det en lettelse, men der Rubens bag i starten var en god position at være i, og lige bag Red Bulls også. Så det var meget skuffende, da jeg faktisk styrtede ned, men så at se Slægten efter ...

"Rubens obviously got a couple of points, then Red Bull made a mistake in the pit stop and he wasn't able to score any points, which is good for the championship. "Rubens tydeligvis fået et par punkter, så Red Bull har lavet en fejl i pit-stop, og han var ikke i stand til at score et point, hvilket er godt for mesterskabet.

"This is a race we expected the Red Bulls to easily win, so it shows that a lot of teams are strong now. "Det er et kapløb, vi forventede, at Red Bulls for nemt at vinde, så det viser, at mange af holdene er stærke nu.

"And when your weekend doesn't go perfectly, like it didn't for the Red Bulls because they had a bad position after qualifying, it's very difficult to win from that far back." "Og når din weekend ikke går helt, som det ikke var for Red Bulls, fordi de havde en dårlig position efter kvalifikationen, det er meget svært at vinde fra så langt tilbage."

The Briton made contact with Renault's Romain Grosjean on the first lap, and the Frenchman said Button had taken him out of the race. Briten taget kontakt med Renault's Romain Grosjean på den første omgang, og Franskmanden sagde Button havde taget ham ud af løbet.

But the Brawn driver saw things differently. Men Brawn føreren så tingene anderledes.

"I can't believe he's blaming me. He hit me, but to be fair I don't really care. It's not really important. I didn't score any points, and that's what's important." "Jeg kan ikke tro, han skyder skylden på mig. Han slog mig, men for at være fair jeg ikke rigtig pleje. Det er egentlig ikke vigtigt. Jeg har ikke score nogen point, og det er hvad der er vigtigt."

The four car incident prompted the release of the safety car whilst the cars and debris were removed from the track. De fire bilen hændelse bedt om frigivelse af sikkerheden bilen, mens biler og rester blev fjernet fra banen. Rubens used this as aa window of opportunity to adjust his strategy as whilst down in last place he could catch up to the back of the pack with more fuel and a fresh set of tyres. Rubens brugte dette som aa vindue af muligheder for at tilpasse sin strategi, som samtidig i sidste sted han kunne fange op til bagsiden af pakken med mere brændstof og et nyt sæt dæk. Rubens then proceeded to provide in my opinion a Spa masterclass using the BGP001 to full effect with some stellar laps and fantastic overtakes. Rubens Derefter giver efter min mening en Spa masterclass bruge BGP001 til fuld effekt med nogle stjernernes omgange og fantastisk overhaler. I wonder if he had only lost a few places on the grid and remained on strategy how this fantastic driving would have panned out in the race. Jeg spekulerer på, om han kun havde mistet et par steder på nettet og forblev på strategi for, hvordan denne fantastiske kørsel ville have panorerede ud i løbet. Rubens continued to push to the last with only an oil leak at the end of the race causing a smoke plume to follow him for the last 2 laps. Rubens fortsatte med at skubbe til det sidste med kun en olie udslip ved afslutningen af løbet forårsager en røg fjerbusk at følge ham i de sidste 2 omgange. Prior to this he had been hounding down Heikki and I believe would have passed the McLaren driver had he not had to turn it down to make it to the end of the race. Forud for dette havde han været chikanen ned Heikki og jeg mener, ville have bestået den McLaren-kører havde han ikke var til at slå det ned for at gøre den til slutningen af løbet.
