F1: Jenson Button, an Unstoppable Leader

With an absolute control, the Briton Jenson Button dominated the Grand Prix of Turkey, seventh event of the F1 season, from start to finish, event in which the skillful driver of the Brawn GP team won his sixth victory of the year, consolidating his leading position in the overall ranking of drivers where he has the considerable amount of 61 points, 26 points away of his teammate Rubens Barrichello, who remains in the second place. For the German driver of Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel, having won the position pole position was not enough to cope with Button’s superiority, who took advantage of a slip of Vettel before the completion the first lap, and showing his driving skills, he performed a quick action, moving forward and surpassing Vettel just as they were passing by the first turn of the track. Without a doubt, leaving the track during a turn was a mistake that cost dearly to the German and the price he had to pay was seen as he was displaced from his position, which from then on was taken firmly and convincingly by the great driver of Brawn GP. After this feat, Jenson Button was in charge of setting the pace of competition; very well positioned at the head of the competition, it seemed there was no way for the rest of the drivers to get near to that powerful car that is so well supported with high technology and with the extensive knowledge of the engineer and owner of the team, Ross Brawn. The whole event was focused on Button who, with a successful strategy of only entering the pit area twice and with the organized and efficient work of his team that performed as quickly as possible, was able to maintain his position, moving quickly away from his closest pursuers, taking away any chance to reach him. While this was happening, behind Button there was a strong battle for the second position between the drivers of the Red Bull team, the Australian Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, where after a very tight fight, it was the Australian who took the second place. This new triumph of Jenson Button demonstrates once again the high level of competition that the Brawn GP team has, which in a very intelligent and profitable way has been able to exploit the talent of a driver who many believed would not have a bright future, but thanks to the wise decisions of Ross Brawn along with the support of his team, Button has managed to break with that perception and become the best driver of the season, shadowing those who have been world-renowned in previous seasons. It’s quite clearly that Brawn GP has well established their main goal of remaining as leaders with Jenson Button in the highest position of the tournament. If all continues to be done as before, we could anticipate a glorious future for a team that debuted this season and by taking the wise decision of combining a great pilot with a great car is becoming unstoppable.
