France 2007
Jul. 1st, 2007 04:34 pmFirst championship point for Jenson! Whoohoooo!
What is it with the good results on tracks I don't really like? Hungary last year, Magny-Cours this year. I think I never was so happy about a 8th place. Finally!
The race looked good from the beginning. He won one position right at the start - with an extremely heavy car - and then he could go the pace of the cars in front of him. Cars like Williams, BMW and even Alonso's McLaren. After all Alonso only finished about 2 seconds ahead of him. Sure, that doesn't mean that the Honda is suddenly as fast as the McLaren, traffic and luck played their part there. But Jenson drove a great race - just compare him to Rubens who started just one place behind him - the strategy worked out and the pit crew did a great job as well. In short: He had pretty much a perfect race.
I only hope that wasn't just one good race but he can fight for points now again on a regular basis. But right now I don't want to think about what is about to come (even if it is the English GP) but just celebrate this first championship point.
But Ant... *slaps him on the back of his head* That was completely uneccassary.
Oh, right, ( results: )
