JENSON "THE WONDERKID" BUTTON has finally ended his 68 race jinx and recorded the first podium of his career!!!  Jenson stormed to this amazing victory from a starting place of 6th where he was a true battler all the way through.  This is setting the new standard of great British acing drivers and now means Jenson has officially joined the "big boys league" competing with drivers like Monty and Schuy.  I would just like to thank the whole team at B.A.R for their hard work over the summer to give Jenson a car that good.

Below is the race report as written by my own fair hands.

                    Jenson "At the Races"

 

What Jenson says-

“Amazing! It’s as much as the team’s as it is mine, they’ve worked so hard for this."

“It’s not the pinnacle of what we want but it’s a step in the right direction. I’m ecstatic and I can’t wait to get back to the team and congratulate them.”

“I touched Jarno [Trulli] after the start and I thought something might me wrong, but everything felt fine.

“I had a good fight with him in the first few laps and it was nice to have a gap behind me.

“For the past two years I’ve had cars breathing down my neck for the last lap so it was nice to have a bit of a gap.

"It's a great feeling we've worked so hard, and I have in my career, and this is the first time I have been on the podium in four years so it's been a struggle but with a lot of hard work it is a fantastic feeling to be here.”

"It would be nice if we could be as consistent as we have been here, that is what we have been fantastic at.

“Qualifying we seem to be pretty consistent but I don't know, we have to wait and see.

"Things can change within the season as we saw with Williams last year, they seemed to be able to make a huge step forward.

“We hope we can move forward at the same time as all the other teams."

B.A.R. Team boss David Richards says-

“I would describe it as another step up the ladder. This year we’ve always thought a lot of the car, Honda have done a great job with the engine and the switch to Michelin tyres.

“I’ve also always had great confidence in Jenson’s ability so to see him on the podium today is great for his father and for myself.

“It’s his first ever podium and it’s been niggling at him for a few years ever since he’s been in F1: ‘Why haven’t I been on the podium?’ Great opportunities have always just gone by but today was the day.”
