European Grand Prix 2009 - a well deserved win for Rubens Barrichello & Brawn GP

The race that was threatening to be boring, actually didn't turn out so. Won on pit stop strategy and solid driving by Rubens Barrichello and Brawn GP, Lewis Hamilton and McLaren were pushed into second place. Luckily for Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel retired with an engine failure, and Mark Webber could only manage 9th place.

Good video again victoria, I think if Badoer remains driving for Spa and monza he should take a leaf out of Barrichellos book, his age is not an excuse for not being quick, there are so many young drivers and older ex F1 drivers that would do a better job, frentzen, de la rosa or DC. like you said the championship is shaping up nicely, looking forward to Spa.

I'd actually agree. Age isn't an excuse, but I think lack of race driving might be.

Rubinho is 2nd in the drivers championship =) that is good...

everyone loves Rubens!

I met Rubens nine years ago very nice guy - This will probably be Rubens last victory so - bitter sweet- -- Your really cute by the way..

[FanCastTV]

seconded... I have a feeling you're right about it being his last victory. I hope not.

I was just about to rate your vid with 5 stars but then I heard something about you being a McLaren fan...so no 5 stars this time!On the other hand of course who can blame you for being a McLaren fan since you´re british lol!

i felt so sorry for badoer :( he raced for years in underpowered underfunded uncompetitive cars the 1 shot he gets a race with his beloved ferrari and he has never even driven it ...or not driven it in ages such an unlucky driver and deserves a point so badly :(

the stuff we see at youtube...

I must admit I did swear quite alot in the living room when I saw McLaren bugger Lewis' pit stop up, but thinking about it, it was highly likely that rubens would of jumped Lewis in the pits anyway. I wasn't exactly happy with how Martin Whitmarsh explained what happened after the race, sounded like he was covering his own and his teams arse from a silly mistake, but oh well. Still love McLaren, Lewis, Heikki :D and of course Jenson!

Rubens would have been one or two seconds ahead of hamilton even without any mistake in pits... and this was not last victory from Rubens ;D

Despite what mclaren said about winning as a team and all that, im rather certain that blotched pit stop cost them the race. Was a good race for barrichello and it seems that we may have a repeat this weekend unless team strengths have severely changed. If i would have been asked prior to spa which two teams would be bringing up the rear i would have said force india and bmw. Strange qualifying indeed. Def think barrichello is getting another podium.

Kubica for Ferrari

are you wearing a bikini as promised???

[BMWizardofOz]

yes for sure

but it would be cheaper to fly to most GPs than any other transportation, except maybe the GPs at the German border like Spa. But we still only have a 2-3 hour flight to the european GPs.

But as the biggest problems are not the expences for the travel but the expences for the ticket to the GP I haven´t visited any GP since 1989.
