My friend Karel Jilek used to say that Jenson Button knows his stuff and that he is the driver-pilot to show them all one day. He got a proper car from Ross Brawn and just look at it, the words of my friend Jilek sr. have come true. Felipe Massa and Rubens Barichello were water carriers for Michael Schumacher for years and, in fact, they could have been the Champions themselves. Felipe probably got it worst, as he carried the water also for F. Alonso. The team's orders or "don't bite the hand that's feeding you" or "it's my way, or the highway," that is how we call it. Take a look at Kevin Magnusen and his machine - McLaren Mercedes F1 and what you see is a man in the second position in the first race of his career.
Take a look at V.Bottas, starting from the
16th place and where he ended up. Yes, he had a good car and Williams F1 will
give it to the others in a big way this year!!!! By the way, Williams Martini
F1 is the only team that makes its living just from Formula 1, a team which is
also a family and acting on it, that is a great strength. I got my fingers crossed
for them.
So, where are the future world champions? Felipe would deserve the title just as a reward for what he had done in Scuderia Ferrari. Fernando Alonso - he lost his third Title because of the Maranello team and he is up for a payback. Now there are two peacocks in the yard who won't have anyone telling them what to do, so the thing is who will build up his position as a team number one. So far the things have come Fernando's way. And the others, Nico Rosberg turns out to be a grown man, it is no accident that he has stood on the podium several times last year. Who is the team number one in Mercedes AMG Petronas F1, does it have to be the World Champion Lewis Hamilton??? Niki Lauda is working with the team and that is the strong energy of experience, discipline of the old school that some teams are missing now (Scuderia Ferrari - the discipline and energy there went with Ross and Jean). Niki Lauda is a great asset of Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 and Nico Rosberg might win the Championship easily.
Sebastian is a shooter and he definitely has an ambition to beat all records and become the Champion fifth time in a row. The promising Ricciardo will also fight. So, let us see who will be the World Champion in the end. Too bad Robert Kubica is missing and that Rubens Barichello didn't get his chance.
