Mine too I also suspect the sinister hand of Dr. Marko in the tyre screw-up, testing them out for Red Bull.
I thought straight away they were using him to test out if the inters were a good idea for Vettel and Webber
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/99950 And to no ones's suprise, Button moaning about Kovaleinen. Whilst it may only be 12th place, to Caterham it is a big result and worth defending, especially at Monaco when you are onyl 2 positions away from some points, anything could happen. Maybe Jenson has forgetten what its like to scrap in an old car when you are compartively high up. 2007 and 2008 Honda's clearly a distant memory for him.
At the people suggesting Vergne was used by Marko as a guinea pig, he'd only used the prime tyres so he had to make a second stop. His only chance of getting back into the points was to put inters on and hope it rained. I thought it was an awful race, although I was getting excited when Seb was leading and pulling away from Webber. I don't mind races without loads of overtakes, as long as there are battles going on, such as Hamilton and Vettel in Spain last year, but there weren't really any because they couldn't get close enough to even attempt to pass, they just followed each other round. Didn't watch the Forum because the awful music from the Red Bull energy station was making me die inside. Typical that it pissed down with rain just after the race finished.
He is not really moaning, he was just annoyed how Kovaleinen kept skipping the chicane to keep ahead of him and did not get punished for it.
Kovalainen's defence was over the top though, he squeezed him into the wall at the most dangerous point on the entire calendar, and if what Button says is correct, he should've got a penalty for repeatedly cutting the chicane. That said, Button was awful again, imagine if Massa had had the two races Button has just had. I hope he turns it round in Canada.
MW stood up the BBC, probably on the phone with sponsers and stakeholder on why they have scored 20 points in in 3 races with 2 world champions. Really poor development it seems, hardly any major updates all season except a steeped nose and tiny aero bits on the sidepods, others have thrown the kitchen sink at their cars.
They're having the same issue RBR have had the past few seasons, the car is obviously hard to develop, and what limited developments are made make little improvement to the car. Someone like Ferrari will gain more in comparison, as their base car was a dog, updates will have more of an effect.
Scary thing is that they haven't even really started on the upgrades as they have been messing around with the exhausts. Maybe one more advancement to the exhaust and then it's all good from here for RBR hopefully.
I think the top 7 teams all have really strong cars. Form just fluctuates from track to track based on all sorts of things.
There is no such corner*, Fred!; but I think I know what you meant – to which I say it very much depends upon circumstance. *Alexandre-Athenase Noghès Anthony Noghès was his father.
What do you know? in 2010 Seb and Mark were joint first after Monaco, 78 points each. Fernando was 3rd with 75 points.
