It may seem belated congratulations to Jenson Button, but I did mention it on my my first Facebook 'what are you doing' field for some months merely minutes after I watched my first F1 Grand Prix in years. It was certainly thrilling, crashes on the first lap, the whoomph of flame as Kimi Raikkonen was for a split-second barbecued by fuel from a wayward hose being ignited, Lewis Hamilton battling from 17th to 3rd and, of course, Jenson claiming his champion's title with exciting manouevres to go from 14th to 5th. Last year, on Hamilton's victory, I spared a thought for the forgotten British man of F1. Well, he and his team might be a shooting star, destined to burn brightly but briefly (witness Brawn falling down the pecking order as the other teams became more clued up on the double decker diffuser), yet Button made the most of it and, with those early wins, deservedly so. Well done to Brawn GP and Ross Brawn for their constructors championship after rising from the ashes of Honda tot ake it.
