Personally it looks like a dream team to me. Something to get the english F1 fans really enthused about. Man for man I think Hamilton is the better driver, and car for car I think McLaren will have a great one next season so should be very interesting.

Button versus Hamilton

We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.

My personal opinion is that Brawn had a huge advantage from the double Diffuser for the start of the season, which basically won them both the constructors and drivers championship.
Fairplay to them for developing the technology and taking the risk that they might lose out later on, however when the other teams levelled the playing field, neither Button or Barrichello was the best driver.
In all reality, next years championship will come down to Alonso and Hamilton, who with identical cars were 1 point within each other in 2007.Comment

I think if the double diffusers had been banned at the start, it wouldn't have made a great deal of difference to the results.
I do agree that Ferrari and McLaren will be back on top next year, but I wouldn't rule out Massa or Button as championship contenders.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

And Prost and Senna. OK the latter one worked out well in terms of victories and trophies, but in terms of teamwork, not so good.Comment

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostThey had an advantage, but I think people tend to latch onto a single technical issue (i.e. the double diffuser), whereas in truth it was a fundamentally good car and the main reason for their early advantage was they spent all of 2008 developing it. Red Bull also had a fundamentally good car but hadn't been able to develop it as much as Brawn had and so took them half the season to really make it work.
