    I really want it to rain. Then we'll see if Schumacher still has the title of 'Rainmester'

    Jenson Button has won the majority of wet races over the last couple of seasons, so if it rains Button could win.

    Wasn't he many of the few crying in 2010 when it got dark and wet in Korea and spin a couple of hundred times at the back of the field, whereas Hammy wanted to get on with it?

    The British and Germans I consider to be the best in the rain.

    Sorry if I'm being biased...

    I did not hear him saying it was too dark or wet, he spun once and controlled it beautifully. He just had an off race in Korea I think a suspension part on his car was partly to blame.

    Well he complains a lot, that's all I can say, I haven't really seen Button do well in the rain, that and I can't remember, would be glad if you could name a few Mifune , ta.

    Button does not moan anymore than any other driver, bbc606 Hamilton fanboys just like to make out like he does.

    31 laps and started on first, so not much of a chance of a challenge and no place gain, Felipe Massa and Hamilton shone very well there tbh, in the time available before the race ended.

    No it doesn't seem that way because of fanboys, I have witnessed this on TV myself, I supported him in 2009 against the RB's but in 2010 he has not really performed I reckon, maybe because he was in a new team.

    Button moans no more than Hamilton. In 2010 Button was pretty even with Hamilton up until that last few races of the season.

    I can't think of a single driver who would do the interview pen after the race and say, "bloody hell I was rubbish then! I really suck at this. The car was ace, I just don't know what I'm doing."

    I mean, Lee MacKenzie gave Schumacher a chance to be honest in her interview with him broadcast before the race and instead he said he thinks he's as good as Rosberg.

    I mean, if Schumacher's going to moan about the tyres not suiting him for an entire season, I don't really see how anyone else explaining problems with their cars can be criticised.

    Spain 2010 : "Everytime I tried to get past he closed the door one me, you'd think with his experience he would know" (Mate you had the faster car and about 50 laps at hand.
    Button: (heard all the time) "The car is really not working for me now" (make it work then, complaining on the team radio is not going to work)

    What is that meant to prove? That he can't see his front wing? Because no driver can, you are sitting to low down.

    In Spain 2010 Button's dash on his wheel was broken so had to guess when to change gear and also he could not change the settings on his wheel so he was losing a lot of time because of that, also pre-2011 it is almost impossible to overtake in Barcelona anyway.

    I do not get what you are annoyed about Manny.

    I'm not annoyed, im trying to prove that Jensen has got a short fuse more obvious than any other driver.

    But that's a fallacy. We had one radio message midway through the 2009 season in which he said something like, "what have we done to this car?" That's the only complaint of note Button's ever made. Everything else is run of the mill stuff - no grip, no heat in the tyres, too much understeer, too much oversteer, will the girls like this? will the girls like that? is it too big? is it too small? - the things all drivers moan about. It's not even moaning, really - they're just telling us what the situation with the car was.
