Now we are talking. How often have we heard drivers say to Martin Brundle they race to win? So why the big fuss about this? Championships are won by winners I say and those who get second and third place?……sorry no cigar. This could mean that the winning driver have less points than say the second place man, but if he won more races he should be the champion. Looking at the 2008 Championship it would have meant that Filipe Massa in his Ferrari actually won the championship with 6 wins against Lewis Hamilton’s 5 wins…OOOPS! just imagine that!!!!

As in all sports I am sure the teams are already working out strategy for their drivers and looking at the FIA regulations to see where loopholes exists. Now I wonder what Martin Brundle will say about that!!!!! Click here to see some classic comments made by the man over the past years.
