It's defintely about the car this season - the new part added to only a few cars are the ones excelling - as shown by Brawn GP.
Before it was Ferrari always having the quickest car, I remember in the last few years of M. Schumacher when the 2003 Ferrari was 1 second quicker than the Renault 2004 car and that year he won 12 of the first 13 races, gained a record number of points and gained the record number of wins in a season.
Would be nice to have another GB winner - lets see if he can get BBC Personality of the year,lol - but I'm guessing a certain welshman has already been penciled in for that prize
