Oh Jenson's ribs!
Here's how the news on Jenson seems to have gone these past few days: Ribs, Award, Ribs, Award, Ribs, Award, Ribs.
Funniest take I've seen on it so far was by Kay_zee at the forums right here.
Newsflash!
Jenson has further strained his ribs this week, even though he's been told to play it safe for a few weeks.
It's believed the strain was caused by carrying all his awards home.
Hahaha. Not that Jenson's ribs are a laughing matter at all, it's just funny given the media coverage he's been getting for the combination of both.
I do hope he just heals up in peace. I want to see a healthy Button for 2007. And I don't think he's at much of a disadvantage at all. Despite getting the holidays off like Fernando and Kimi both have, Jenson has the advantage of already knowing who's who in his team. And he's able to attending testing sessions to monitor progress and obtain feedback from Rossiter and Klein. If anything, the rest should do Jenson some good and keep him fresh for his run at the title. :)
There's been talk of how Jenson's time out might negatively affect Honda's chances. Jenson's a pretty resilient driver though, and he's one of the best at adjusting at changing conditions (I read that somewhere, but I've forgotten where), so he should bounce back just fine.
He'll do well in 2007. And we'll all be happily cheering him on. Less ribs, more awards next year aye? :)
