What Formula One 2011 taught me part three
Adrian Sutil: The whole China/bottling Eric Lux thing.
Paul Di Resta: He has always worked hard this season - he hasn’t been phased by anything. He has never failed to put in his best effort.
Kamui Kobayashi: Some of the overtakes he has made this season were immense. He just has the balls to go out and do it.
Sergio Perez: After the Monaco incident, he didn’t feel well in himself physically or mentally to race in Canada, and kudos to him for deciding to miss out Canada. He could have raced, and was deemed fit enough, but his gut instinct told him to rest more, and he did.
Sebastien Buemi: There was a lot of pressure on Sebastien at the start of the season, with Helmut having said that if Sebastien did not pick up his form, he would be replaced mid season by Daniel Ricciardo, but he didn’t get discouraged by that one bit and has raced some very strong races.
Jaime Alguersuari: No matter what, even when times have got tough this season, he has always had faith in himself and his racing ability.
Formula One driver tributes to Dan Wheldon
- Lewis Hamilton: This is an extremely sad day. Dan was a racer I’d followed throughout my career, as I often followed in his footsteps as we climbed the motorsport ladder in the UK. He was an extremely talented driver. As a British guy, who not only went over to the States but who twice won the Indy 500, this is a tragic loss at such a young age. My heart goes out to his family and friends during this extremely difficult time. #DanWheldon.
- Jenson Button: Just woken up to the most horrific news.. Dan Wheldon RIP. I have so many good memories of racing with Dan in the early 90's, a true fighter. We've lost a legend in our sport but also a great guy. I can't begin to imagine what his family are going through and my thoughts are with them at this very difficult time.
