Hamilton pole position in Abu Dhabi 2009

Lewis Hamilton negou que ter marcado a pole position do GP dos Emirados Árabes tenha sido tão fácil quanto pareceu, por causa da vantagem de seis décimos sobre Sebastian Vettel, da RBR, o segundo no grid. O piloto da McLaren larga, em Abu Dhabi, na frente pela terceira vez na temporada, mas admitiu que deveria ter optado por uma carga maior de combustível em seu carro.
- Como eu sempre digo, nunca é facil, mas foi tão divertido quanto pareceu. O carro está, provavelmente, em sua melhor fase no ano. Estou confortável neste circuito. Com essa volta, pensamos que poderíamos ter mais combustível no carro, mas acho que não fomos tão agressivos na tática. A volta foi muito boa. Tudo poderia acontecer. É fácil cometer erros aqui mas, por sorte, estou feliz com o tempo - diz Hamilton, na entrevista coletiva oficial após o treino classificatório.
Após a pole, Hamilton elogiou o circuito novamente. Para ele, o traçado proporcionará uma corrida divertida neste domingo, na estreia do circuito da Yas Marina, em Abu Dhabi, na Fórmula 1.
- Sempre tentamos melhorar os circuitos e as zebras deveriam ser boas aqui, mas acho que eles fizeram um trabalho perfeito aqui com o traçado. Para correr, é muito seguro. Teremos algumas oportunidades de ultrapassagens e a prova deve ser muito boa.

Felipe Massa GP Brasil 2009 interview
Felipe Massa vai dar a bandeirada no GP Brasil 2009
Fora das pistas desde julho, quando sofreu grave acidente no treino para o Grande Prêmio da Hungria, o piloto brasileiro Felipe Massa disse que se sente completamente recuperado e preparado para retornar à Fórmula 1, caso tivesse a permissão dos médicos e da FIA (Federação Internacional de Automobilismo).
Questionado sobre seu retorno, Massa destacou que não adiantaria pedir à Ferrari para ter a chance de correr em Interlagos, palco de duas vitórias do piloto brasileiro nos três anos anteriores.
"Poderia correr aqui tranquilamente. No entanto, por haver riscos de sofrer um outro acidente, eles (médicos e Ferrari) preferem esperar um pouco mais", disse Felipe Massa.
Queria voltar a guiar. Não senti nada de estranho, tanto no kart, como no treino de Fórmula 1, completou o piloto brasileiro.
Felipe ha detto che potrebbe funzionare senza intoppi a Interlagos.

Sebastian Vettel wins Japanese GP to cut the gap on Jenson Button

Jenson Button's slow march towards the world title moved another step closer to completion in Japan, despite Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel winning from pole. Button, finishing down in eighth, saw his lead cut by a point, but remains 14 clear with only two races to go.
Vettel kept alive his outside chance of winning the drivers' championship, moving to within 16 points of Button. The German crossed the line ahead of Jarno Trulli's Toyota with Lewis Hamilton in third for McLaren.
Vettel's third win of the season helped to close the gap at the top but Button's Brawn team-mate, Rubens Barrichello, remains the Briton's closest challenger having crossed the line in seventh.
Brawn could have wrapped up the constructors' title but were denied after the safety car was brought on to the track with five laps to go. Button, however, was unhappy with Williams' Nico Rosberg, for allegedly setting his fastest sector time while drivers were under restrictions – an issue the race stewards looked into but upheld the result, clearing Rosberg of accusations that he did not slow when yellow flags were waved after a late accident.
If Rosberg, who finished fifth, had been demoted or disqualified, the Brawn GP cars would have been promoted and earned enough points to clinch the constructors' championship. As it stands only successive one-two finishes by Red Bull in the remaining two races, plus a blank for Brawn, can prevent Brawn becoming the first team in F1 history to take the constructors' title in their debut year.
"Always, when you think someone has done something wrong and they did not get penalised, you feel disappointed," Button said. "But I don't think it will change things massively."
Data evidence from Rosberg's car showed a low fuel message on the telemetry in his car had overridden the message telling him yellow flags were out. "The telemetry data shows that the driver, from a safety point of view, had reacted adequately to the yellow flags and safety car boards," a stewards' statement said.
Brawn will need only half a point more to claim the crown when the teams are in Brazil in two weeks' time, while Button could secure his first world title merely by keeping pace with Barrichello and Vettel.
