BGP001 is a brilliant racing car, I'd say clearly above others at the moment. No matter how does the diffuser-gate end, I expect BGP to remain among front-runners, this is just how impressive they have seemed so far despite DDD.

And I think Button is the biggest title contender at the moment. He proved already in 2004-2006 that he can be very consistent in a good car, so even if others raise their game, it will still be difficult to eat up the gap that has been created. JB may keep his lead by having 2005-alonsoesque season - after getting an early advantage achieves consistent high points without shining too much and keeps the lead.

Before the season I expected Button to beat Barrichello in 2009 and so far it seems to be going that way. I think 2007-2008 was really quite much down to JB's lack of motivation and RB's real need to prove himself. Now Button is on the top of his game again like in 2006 and Rubens is left behind. Shame for Barrichello, I hoped to see him doing well this year and if he won the title, it would be a fantastic story, but alas he seems to be more like a perennial No.2. And unlike Button he has been making mistakes this year too - due to desperation that '09 might be his last chance?
