Spanish Grand Prix yesterday give the impression that Brawn-Mercedes starting "to give the priority" to Jenson Button. Because, if want to be fair, then Button and Rubens Barrichello should apply the same strategy. Somehow the two stop and three stop.
Yesterday, when Barrichello lead in the front , Brawn directly change the Button’s strategy. From the three stop as Barrichello into two stop. Consequently, Button win.
Perhaps, Brawn is starting to think the title of world champion. Perhaps, they want to “save” as many points for Button, so that he can stay on top until the end of the season.
Remember, Brawn is not the rich team. They may not have enough resources to continue developing the car until the end of the season. If it is left Barrichello “disrupt” Button acquisition points, at the end of the season they can passing by other drivers from the other team.
After the race yesterday, there is no loud complaints from Barrichello. He only just surprised when the team change Button’s strategies. But he also knows that he must impose himself since the beginning.
“I’m disappointed because I did not win this race. I feel victory is in my hands. However, this is still a remarkable result for the team,” said 36 years old drivers.
If Brawn really do team orders are fine, how poor a fate of Barrichello. He was leaved from Ferrari because he did not hold to be number 2 behind Michael Schumacher. Now, he must be ready to be number two at the back of Button.
Just for information, it was also Ross Brawn makes Barrichello to be “number two”!
