Over the last month f1 news has been coming fast and furious, in spite of the 2009 season having finished. As they say in sports, you can’t tell the players without a programme. The programmes for the 2010 formula 1 season are certain to read markedly unlike this past season. Already, new young drivers are entering the fold. More experienced drivers are changing teams. Even the teams are changing owners.
The hottest news this week is the conclusion of brawn gp to sell their f1 operation to mercedes-benz. Brawn gp won the drivers championship this year with britain’s jenson button at the wheel. They similarly won the constructors championship. When your value is at its most eminent, why not sell, which is what the team did.
Speculation is that this dealing can see jenson button move to mclaren to join lewis hamilton. There’s the prospective of mclaren having a british dynamic duo on the starting grid for next year’s races. Both button and hamilton are earth champions, winning the f1 crowns in 2009 and 2008 respectively.
