Blimey... conspiracy much?

Jenson is actually in a better starting position than Lewis. I was actually hoping Jenson would bump Hamilton.

If you think they'd tell Button to abort for the sake of Hamilton and believe that Jenson would actually pit, I'd say you're paying him a disservice.

I think nothing of the sort. Jenson would never have pitted on team orders it just isn't in his character.

I don't believe so either. I also think McLaren would be bonkers to try hold back Jenson given his recent form.

Team order or not, you may as well complete the lap. He had one more corner on a track with low tyre degradation. Knowing Jenson he'll one-stop tomorrow and not even used the options he saved.
 
Jenson was quicker than Seb, therefore in his mind he had a chance at pole, yet he aborted. He move over for Lewis and messed up his own qualifying last time out, it feels a bit odd.
That said if it looked like he might squeeze Seb out there would have been no team orders...I think he made an error but it is just a guess. Shame on the BBC for not spotting it, I immediately saw and wondered.
 
Lewis Hamilton blew up Alderaan and Martin Whitmarsh gave the orders. Meanwhile, Jenson Button was cleaning the toilets in sector 12b. He's always had it rough.

:p
 
FFS, why does everyone always have to bang on with this relentless, pointless Hamilton vs Button argument? Why can't people just accept that there are two strong British drivers and that there aren't any huge Area 51 style conspiracies going on? And why does everyone have to drag whatever topic is being talked about back to Hamilton vs Button, especially when whatever is being said has been said 50 or 60 times before?

Well said!
 
On the subject of McLaren favouring driver's, here's a genuine article taken from ja606.

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER IS A CLOT, this thing should retire from formula 1. He is just a complete and utter nuisance, he had to be told by his own TEAM PRINCIPAL to drive properly, albeit I feel Ross Brawn was worried over nothing the stewards would have done absolutely nothing with Schumacher, but had the roles been reversed it would have been a different story

Were Mclaren trying to ensure maximum exposure for Vodafone's advert on Hamilton's rear wing? I could hardly read the sponsorship logo on Button's!
Under Whitmarsh a lot of shenanigans will continue to happen, Hamilton's top speed even with the DRS open was barely 320kpm!

Hammy get the hell out of that CONCENTRATION CAMP!

If you believed anything this idiot writes, you'd be convinced that Button blew up Alderaan, whilst Hamilton was leading the rebel forces. And Martin Whitmarsh sends teams of Assasins to Hamilton's house each night.
