Welcome to the podium (almost) impossible to beat of the season (so far) impossible to beat. *g*

results )

This next amazing formula 1 weekend started on Saturday with a pole I, to be honest, didn't expect. Rubens seemed to be able to get the new updates to work better and the Red Bull looked really strong. But that one lap, when it mattered, Jenson pushed the car to the limits and drove it on pole. Must have been one hell of a lap.

The race itself didn't start perfectly for Jenson but great for the team with Rubens taking the lead and Jenson second. Vettel might have been a thread had he managed to overtake Massa but he didn't. So it was down to the two BrawnGPs to fight each other for the win. Without team order, and having read the press conference I seriously doubt Rubens said anything like that. Anyway, they switched Jenson's strategie to a two stop that should have been slower but turned out to be the key to winning the race. And yes, I did cheer a little when the team told Rubens that he had to push harder because he was just falling behind Jenson. I wouldn't begrudge Rubens a victory - and if things continue like that I'm sure we will see him win this season - but I just prefer to see Jenson on top of the podium.
And Mark? Mark looked like he'd be inconspicuously racing for some points and, after his last pit stop, he suddenly came out third. :)

Also, seeing Jenson and Rubens right after the race chatting and laughing together... I feel there's such an amazing atmosphere in that team. &hearts
