Reviewing the Spanish Grand Prix: Button Once Again!

Well, I still like the track at Barcelona.

Yet another Formula 1 race with a massive incident of some kind in the first turn of the first lap. This time Both Toro Rosso cars succeeded in eliminating each other, with Bourdais going airbourne over Buemi in a motorized audition for the Cirque du Soleil. Jarno Trulli was taken out by Adrian Sutil, and about three tons of carbon fibre debris was scattered over twenty-six square feet of asphalt.

BrawnGP finished 1-2 once again, but this time there's controversy. Rubens Barrichello has confronted the team and stated that he won't play second fiddle to anyone. He was once under team orders to allow Michael Schumacher to pass so that Schumacher could secure the Driver's Championship. Now it seems that Barrichello's three-stop strategy was given to Jenson Button, almost as though the team is favoring the young Brit who currently leads the points. Ross Brawn has stated that the team has given Barrichello everything it can so that he can win, it's up to him to actually cross the line first.

As for our prediction, at least we got the winner right. And we had a Red Bull car on the podium, just the wrong driver.

Two weeks to Monaco.
