http://www.formula1.com/news/interviews/2012/6/13469.htm Ok I admit we have been hitting button hard on the furom recently but given his recent higher profile for outscoring Lewis last year and that many ex champion including Alan Prost and Damon Hill made him favorite for the Championship this yea...

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!

For the 2nd time this week Mclaren management team spent their time pushing back against criticism of tardiness,first was Neal had to deny that they are falling behind ,and that Button falling behind is because he was being UNLUCKY,now he is having a swipe at Garry Anderson for critisizing them. Wh...

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"....

good stuff...

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...

My first experience was the 1970 United States Grand Prix in Watkins Glenn, NY- USA. I was six years old. Still remember bits and pieces. Emerson Fittipaldi had a late refuel to get ahead of Pedro Rodriquez for the win. Here's a minute recap...good stuff. The cars were so ugly they were beautiful. h...

If you put Button's past result(s) in perspective, then the only way he's got to go is up.That car and driver on their worst day is about 13th on grid. That being said...did anybody see what Button had to do to avoid the flying Kobayashi? He actually had to jerk left toward the barrier to avoid get...

So Hamilton wanted to test at Mugello and obviously because McLaren are not bringing any major updates both Lewis and Jenson are convinced its not worth it. What do you call that nose Mr Whitmarsh, it could be a game changer on getting the floor to seal and improved rear downforce, and adjustable b...

According to Martin Whitmarsh it's looking likely they will switch to the new front wing: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/99456 Was about to post this too but you beat me to it. Let's hope it helps improve the performance. I also hope they are able to overcome the pit issues and get ont...

Why is the media tip toeing around Mclaren and Whitmarsh 4 races in Mclaren has been plagued with a barrage of errors and mistake of which Mr witmarsh seems to be very nonchalant and relax ,not showing panic is one thing, but to not show concern is malpractice In the past we have seem teams like Re...

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? Absolutely agree, they can use their "gizmo" all through Quali- but only in limited fashion during a race...so a real lame duck in any case c...

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)...

Are they just bluffing and want to surprise everyone in Melbourne. I think they are just hiding their real pace. They found that F2012 is too fast from red bull and Mclaren about 0.8 to 1 sec step ahead. too fast and wanted to hide it. My source??? F1 insider. I think their pace will be fine, on av...

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.

It has been said on another site, that the Mclaren "F Duct" on the side of the nose-cone is merely an optical illusion- a reflection from the sidepod....I almost have to agree. Here is a photo comparing Button's and Hamilton nose, day 3 and 4. The photo is also referencing a hole which may or may n...

By my house there's a chicane in the road with rumble strips put in as a traffic calming measure. For me (and several others) it has the totally opposite effect as I can't help but attack the kerbs Monza-style. I am also very tempted to sneak out there one night and paint them red and white....

Those are awesome quotes from Jenson...He really sounds positive and raring to go for the new season. Bring on the 2nd WDC! 8) I really think this could be a better year for Jenson, that would mean WDC.

This thread has been awfully quiet of late. Thought I might give it a bump. So then Ferrari fans, where do we think we stand? I am not sure that I can make head nor tail of it all the moment.

Now I know why they got out of NASCAR...needed more money for F1...lol

I agree with JonA and read it more as a negative for rbr. It's hard to believe that it is all a tactical move on their part and is easier to believe that they had a 'ah nuts we'd better sort that quickly' moment. Maybe though that is the optimist in me.. if the Newey/Vettel combo romp away it'll ru...

Did they need to pass crash test again? If not it's barely new car, just big update :] According to the article, "Ted Kravitz told Sky Sports News: "It's not only parts, it's a whole new car that's being flown out from the Red Bull factory in Milton Keynes." I don't know the rules pertaining to the...

It seems understandable now why Redbull wanted special testing dates. The are bringing in a completely new car to test the last two days at Barcelona. Incredible.
