Great job Jenson! 200 Races and a great drive. The best man won in the end. Lewis will be disappointed, but that's racing. He should have been given the penalty, and he apologised. Much more want other fans want. He drove great but made the wrong choice/mistake/spin all added to a 4th. Fair play to Lewis.
Button's right. I thought he looked strong at the end of the first stint and that approach could play out through the race.
three relieved podium holders that they all got past 'lewis'. button, knew from the first stint he would win the race - yet hamilton lead him by 7 secs on average for most of the race? yeah, sure.
Yes the first part of the race he was untouchable, he didnt really put a foot wrong even the pitstops were on point. Its a shame really but oh well he responded to the interview very well .
I still think Hamilton could have won if it was not for the spin/change to inters/change to supersoft. 3 mistakes is far too much to make. But battle has been joined, McLaren have the fastest car now.
Yes, hindsight's a wonderful thing but maybe Button meant 'could' win, not 'would win'. Welcome to the forum, btw, pepi
El Bando Lucky guy.. at around 30 laps you were thinking.. Oh **** I am going to have to eat my words, then when Lewis fell down you must have had a party!
It's an improvement on Germany where he couldn't get past Hamilton even with DRS and a much faster car.
Hamilton was quicker than Button and the rest of the field in the first stint. In the second stint Hamilton and Button were pretty even with Button nicking a tenth here and there, and then nearing the end of the sting Button started to real him in quickly, Hamilton pitted first and the undercut pulled the gap back up to 7 secs. In the third stint Button was quicker and pulled him in until Hamilton pitted. Both Mclaren drivers battled well and their fights were supreme. Button was the best driver today like Hamilton was last weekend.
I did think Hamilton had this wraped up at the half way point. Disapointing as Vettel is now more ahead in the championship
McLaren have the fastest car now. .. .............. i doubt we would have all the moaners though if mclaren were to dominate like red bull did earlier in season sayings its boring 1 team winning all the time.
