jenson was just looking after the tyres, now he will give it some to get the gap, great victory from the man
Must be my faulty memory that says it was the Bridgestone era that implemented the "one set of tyres per race" rule... and were accused of being too durable and forcing strategy to decide races...
"Button loves Mclaren and Mclaren love Button" Don't you get the impression that the commetators are LOVIN the fact that Button is the new golden boy at Mclaren and Hamilton is being shunted out. W*****s
I was happy with the prime/option rule - if they could have solved the turbulent air problem which was hampering overtaking (although it didnt hamper Hamilton, Alonso et al)
Kudos to Button, and, even though I hate to say it because team orders were involved (again), well done Vettel. Well done Alonso as well. Button is just absolutely on fire.
Yep you've sussed it I'm a Hamilton fan and I'm mightly peeeed offfff. Pram and toys spring to mind but at the moment I just don't care. Button and his tyres are gonna beat Hamilton this season and I hate it.
Hamilton better get to grips with Pirelli for next seaon or he may as well go elsewhere where he can unleash his unrivalled racing ability - just as he did in 2007 when F1 was better suited to him.
Wasn't my favourite race but it was good to see Button pushing all the way. Alonso did what I thought he'd do last week (but then changed my mind yesterday ) Most of all I again congratulations to Vettel. From yesterday, not too horrific.
That incident at the start was close to being too aggressive. I cant work out whether Vettel forced him off the track or whether Button was too reluctant to get close to Vettel's car. Button got payback by winning the race though. Button did a great job but I believe the best two drivers imo were Perez and Alonso.
How did alonso finish only 1 second behind JB from 5th in a car that is clearly 3rd fastest, got to be contender for driver of the day for sure. Anyways on Lewis (as hes always ends up being the point of discussion) he just had no pace today it happened to JB in China, Germany and most of last season, its just one of those things. Looking forward to Korea in just one week, though not looking forward to get up early...again
Every race just seems to follow the same pattern for Lewis. Bangs out a few fast laps on a fresh set of tyres and then falls off a cliff. Like someone has already pointed out Hamilton seems to be the only one suffering. Why, I don't know but it needs sorting. It's also worth pointing out that - with the puncture coupled with the incident in qualifying - when its not happening for you it just aint happening. And it's the opposite for Button who at the moment could fall into a river and come out with a pocket full of salmon.
Yeah, all Jenson "lucky" Button's had to contend with this season is 2 DNFs from a wheel not being put on properly and a gear box failure (I think it was), while Lewis' problems and "bad luck" have largely been of his own making. Also, why does F1 "need" to change to suit just 1 driver? I genuinely don't get that.
Hamilton has had more than his fair share of bad luck this season. Period. And I'm looking for F1 to change to suit ME the punter not Hamilton.
