That tells the whole story, Lotus should not be above McLaren, about time Button is sorted, why is he doing do poor?
Half of Button's points came in one race. Can someone remind me what the outcome of his contract was last year in the end? Did they only take up the option for this year or is it a long-term deal? At this rate I can see them paying him off... Kimi needs a win soon or he's out of the WDC as well.
Button is out now, there is no chance he can get up there again, maybe if he picked up now top 5 but no more.
It's such a shame as I really like Button, he is a top professional who has lost his way, his car is not that bad, time to pick up now.
Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! W-E-B-B-O!!!!
David Coulthard and Lee McKenzie interviewing Seb Vettel. You've got to love the man! He always brings a smile whenever I watch him getting interviewed!
Honestly today wasn't really that shocking. The other races were but look where Hamilton ended up. The whole team, the car are all just nowhere.
Not the most eventful race but nice to see Webber doing well after his poor season last year, as for McLaren they probably have only the 4th/5th fastest package on the grid and really need to catch up i actually thought both jenson and Lewis drove pretty well today judging by some of their overtakes but the car was nowhere, i mean Jenson drove his best race since China and still only just got a point!, that's how far behind McLaren are now
Kamui Kobayashi has been fined 25,000 Euro for his incident in the pits during the British Grand Prix. Pastor Maldonado was handed a 10,000 Euro fine and given a reprimand by the race stewards for his part in a collision with Sergio Perez during the British Grand Prix.
I don't know what Frank Williams will be thinking about Maldonado. On the one hand he is out-perfoming Senna and has taken a win, on the other he keeps getting involved in clumsy incidents that cost points and money for the team.
I thought Maldonado was incredibly hotheaded, he carried far too much speed into the corner, if you look at the line he was following before he oversteered he was going miles off the track, he was never going to make the corner and unfortunately took Perez with him. I'm not sure what good a race ban would do, it's not like he's gaining anything from his driving style, if smashing his car up each week isn't a deterrent I don't think a ban would be. Williams have built an excellent car and must be ruing taking on two pay drivers because they've both underperformed massively. I'd love to see what Bottas could do in that car. Things looking really bleak for McLaren, I think they had the 7th best car today. Their pitstops were brilliant though, they've turned into Ferrari.
I agree that today was a bad day, but one swallow doesn't make a summer on either of those two points.
Really worried about Mclaren, i'm clinging onto hope that they ran with a setup to suit wet conditions. Also it should be noted they had little track time to test several upgrades so I hope in Germany they will make progress but they have alot of catching up to do. Pleased for Webber though and Ferrari have made fantastic progress. Good result for Massa to but don't think he will finish higher than that this season unless he really ups his game.
What a difference a year makes. Last year Webber looked like he was finished, now he's back as a quality driver. Obviously didn't like the EBD on last years car.
I must say I do not understand why Maldonado has been fined and reprimanded for a racing incident, which is what today was, I feel the race stewards have taken his previous incidents into account too much on this occasion. He does need to drive more carefully but he tried to control the oversteer and ran wide into Perez. He should have been penalised more strongly for the incident in Valencia, but you can't punish someone retrospectively. He served his (admittedly ridiculously lenient) punishment for Valencia. Consistency is what's needed. However, I do not understand at all why Kobayashi was fined. It was clearly an accident and he clearly felt horrible about it. Why have they added insult to the engineers' injuries?
Can't understand why there's no DRS on the Hangar Straight. This race showed, once again, that it's damn near impossible to overtake there (except Massa on Schumi which was awesome).
