    Xiggly (or Xiglly as he is more latterly known) would be good.

    Of course this is off-topic but I have it confirmed that it is OK. Is anyone still using BBC 606 to hunt around for him?

    Yup - off-topic is the new on-topic.

    You need stamina to get through xiggly threads but they were entertainment all the way.

    Xig is not as he used to be

    He is punch drunk now and gets battered by everyone he takes on

    Xiglly appearing here would confirm the suspicions of a lot of 606ers

    Strategy was not wrong, Buemi made it work

    The reasons for that could be luck or traffic but ultimately will include Buttons inability to achieve the predefined delta for each stint, Button did not drive fast enough during the stints
    He got held up by Massa? the strategy did not work also because he was not able to dispatch Massa quickly enough

    Buemi in a car 1.3 seconds a lap slower who also started on used softs finished only ten seconds behind him

    Nothing wrong with the strategy, all outcomes would have been considered using a Cray computer, it would have worked on paper

    On the day Button couldn't make it work
    It could have been changed as late as his third stop

    Jeeze

    It was the length of stints that made Button's strategy not work, not him not being able to drive fast enough. If you look at Buemi's stints apart from the first stint all of his stints were longer than Button's. If Mclaren had left him out for longer which his lap times show they could of Button probably could of finished 4th or 5th.

    Ok Tambo

    So you say it wasn't the strategy that was wrong, it was Mclarens execution of that strategy that was wrong

    Fair enough that could be it

    But Button is a part of executing that strategy so collectively they failed to make it work as well as Torro Rosso

    oh no - not more for Pete's sake. I'm losing the will to live. Would I be the first Not606-er to slit my wrists?
