Well, the world championship is going like this. Button is winning, and by a lot. He has certainly a good team, and a great car. In the last year tournament he was very bad and didn't really count, but this year, he has been a very big surprise. He is a quite good pilot also, because you can have the best car, but if you are not a good pilot you have no chance of winning anything. The car is also very important, you can be a very talented pilot, but if you don't have a good car, you have also no chance of winning.
barrichelo and Vettel are good, but you can see that they are way behind. The pilots that were the best last year like Alonso, Hamilton or Raikkonen are very back in the championship. There is also Massa and Barichelo, who were good pilots in their times, and now, they are nothing. formula 1 is ver volatile. One day you are the best and the other day, you are nothing.
If you have any topic you want us to talk about, please comment. We have a poll going on, so, vote! You can say what you think about our blog, if it is bad, average, good, or very good.
Thanks!

how do pilots sit while they are driving?

Bandera nacional: Comienzo de la prueba.
Bandera a cuadros: Fin de la prueba.
Bandera amarilla: Peligro en la pista (Prohibido adelantar). Agitada doblemente alerta de una posible parada por estar la pista bloqueada total o parcialmente. Si va acompañada de un panel con las letras SC, el coche de seguridad está en pista.
