    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.

    plus any chance of a hint of team orders on the radio and the FOM would have broadcast it

    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?

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

    The crap from both sides of the extreme McLaren support camp is bonkers.
