Re: Did Button Stop to Avoid Being Lapped On-Track By Hamilt
I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm really tired of hearing excuses. That car in Hamilton's hands would have at least finished in top 10. That car in Massa's hands would have finished top 10. That car in Di Resta's hands would have finished top 10.
I'll keep praying!

Re: Lewis Hamilton and Tony Stewart seat swap.
There are clips out there where they were busting each other up. Hamilton says "you're gonna break it" as Tony tried to fit in the cockpit....
Then when Lewis was in the NASCAR, Tony says "You need a couple of phone books under you"....

Re: The Official Jenson Button thread
This is easily Jenson's worst season in a competitive car in his career. This weekend he looked hell awful. I know McLaren messed up by pitting him when he did. But he just looks slow, clumsy and a bit lost really. I guess the one saving grace is that is surely can't get any worse than this. It's i...

Surely Mercedes lack of racepace is due to them not being able to use their 'DRS Duct' on every straight like they can in Quali, or am I just making this up?

If you add the top sector times you get a lap of 1:24.843. Using this as a "fastest lap"--- Hamilton's Q3 was 1:24.92, so he was +.077 Button's Q3 was 1:25.074, + .237 Grosjean's Q3 was 1:25.302, +.459 Amazing to see the difference...Button is closer to first (.016) than third (.222)...

I agree that once a driver chooses his racing line to defend to the corner he is obligated to his maneuver. Allowing to change is effectively allowing to swerve...which is bad form.
