Formula 1

I would like to talk about the formula 1 championship this year. The competition between the pilots is very close this year. The difference between each car is little and in some cases they are almost the same. The FIA try to promote a balanced championship by forbidding some kinds of aerodynamic changes and making the tires totally different.

However, their efforts were for nothing because as always happens, there is always someone cleverer than them. In this case, we find BRAWN GP team that created a new diffuser which makes the car go faster.

The championship started on April 5th; the first race was celebrated in Malaysia. There was an enormous surprise in every team when the first positions were held by Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. The new diffuser made them beat all the other teams such as the great Ferrari or McLaren. Other teams had a new invention called KERS (kinetic energy recovering system) but it didn’t help them to get better positions.

Most of the teams without the new diffuser complained about it to the FIA. Later it was ratified as legal, and as a result they needed to change their cars to improve them.
Now that most teams have changed their cars like Renault, there was an incredible change in the last race in China. After the hard work of the engineers, the Spanish driver was able to get second place in the qualifying session on Saturday.

Until the end of the championship in Brazil we won’t know the name of the 2009 champion.
