But yesterday you were saying after qualifying:
"Sorry to say i just dont rate Jenson as a racer What was he thinking by not putting intermediates on? Sorry to say this but if the F1 season was to start now i would give him no better odds than 50/1 for the championship"
When the likes of Martin Brundle and David Coulthard marveled at his overtaking moves I think you should look again at Jenson's understated racing abilities. We can all this season has been more about car advantage - Brawn had it for the first third and then other teams came good - even Force India when their set-up suited the circuit.
Yes, Jenson played the percentage game when the car odds were stacked against him and yes, some of his qualifying has left something to be desired. But to suggest he is not a racer when he didn't have to take the risks of passing moving chicanes like Nakajima and his fellow countryman - but he did and with a great deal of skill, is an underserved put-down yesterday Dave.
And as a betting man, well you got that quite wrong but then there were so many options neither would I have said he had an obvious chance this race, but again he came through when it mattered.
Jenson has suffered from some bad management decisons and perhaps poor insight on his part in terms of teams moves, such that he has never previoulsy had the equipment to get the job done. He has, and in the process I hope it does not mean the end of Rubens career as he must be feeling very low now with his continuing bad luck at his home circuit.
Jenson is a very worthy champion in my book
