I didnt read the whole thread, so i have no idea what this was initially all about but it seems to have turned into "Who is the biggest loser this year between BUT and HAM". I say both these guys and the MercedesGP drivers as well (and you can also throw in DiResta in this group) are by FAR the bigg...

Now that the Sam Michael run joint and Webbo have all but ruled themself out of the WDC fight its down to probable the 3 best drivers in Formula 1 right now. But realistically its only between Vettel/Newey and Alonso/Fry/Tombazsis. I was only wrong about Rosberg.

Inappropriate post removed.

lol - based on what exactly? Sorry but can you give me a breakdown of the credentials Di Resta has that makes you believe he could beat Button? I'd say it was the other way round imo Since he started racing cars in 2003, Vettel has only ever been beaten by one team mate in a full championship serie...

Last year Red Bull best car, McLaren second best over the season Vettel = 15 pole positions, Hamilton = 1 pp This year McLaren best, RB second best so far Vettel = 3 pp, Hamilton = 5 pp Where is the Hamilton superiority over Vettel ? As for Alonso, the question should be if he could work with Vettel...

Kimi has a better chance next year when he´s had his first year in a new team behind him. This year is still a warm up for him and if the McTelmex get their act together expect to see Kimi finish behind both of them in the standings. So basically 5. !

OK post until the sabotage thing (seems to be a Hamilton/Webber fanboy specific issue) They might do better on track and off with Sergio Perez instead of the overhyped one for all we know. The McLaren sportscar is indeed overpriced and just a boring piece of crap. Not sure what they expected to achi...

I think he will win another one down the line, but much later than people think. Not with Mercedes ! Schumi isnt the only one who has gotten old out of that winning Schu-Brawn team and this aspect is often overlooked

1. Webber is a bottler when it matters (something he has in common with Hamilton), bottled his way out of the 2010 title in Singapore, Korea and Abu Dhabi 2. Just because he wins a race here and there doesnt mean he is championship material. Rosberg and Maldonado have won races this year, are they s...

When Norbert steals all of Lewis sausage rations and eats it himself of course.

Just kidding, no emotional moments except when proposing to Nico Rosberg.

Vettel will go there in 2014 or 2015, thats an open secret. Alonso, if he doesnt win a title this or next year is history. Ferrari is the only top team which doesnt participate in the constructors championship since Alonso went there and we all know why. On the other side even if Alonso can win a ti...

Martin + Kimi = love

Button = new McLaren cleaning lady

I wonder does this indicate they would like to keep Massa forever ? Because most of the time he is gaining at the start but loses focus and ends up losing more positions the longer a race goes on. A one lap race would be ideal for him.

Isnt RRA just a gentlements agreement anyway. Just like the summer break and that didnt stop McLaren from coming to Spa with a brand new car. Ferrari and McLaren want to limit spending on aerodynamics, where it would hurt Red Bull the most. Red Bull wants to spend their money where they see fit. Ove...

Team radio: "And use 100 % KERS on this lap and then a 100 % to open the second timed" and "Yes 100 % on the outlap" No KERS problem, just the typical Webbo fan paranoia when they just hear the word KERS me thinks. Are you saying Martin Brundle is displaying "the typical Webbo fan paranoia"? Becaus...

It would be interesting to see what would happen if the Lotus stand in guy won Monza. But a Button win, with Vettel second would do it again for me. As McLaren is the fastest car another Button win would make sure Whitmarsh doesnt throw his weight behind Hamilton as outright n1 driver for the WDC ju...

Those whining about Seb - do you know anything about driver skill or training? Seb is where he is because people in the sport see great talent in his driving. Im not sure how many of you are capable of analyzing a driver on a technical level - can you watch a lap and understand exactly what's happe...

The weaklings in this regard are Hamilton and Webber.

Raikkonen, Alonso and Vettel arent affected by what other drivers say about them, they only focus on the job at hand.

Button is not a title challenger (yet), i doubt he will be involved in psychologial games.

ladd

Lets hope it makes the car slower to bring it closer to the Bulls and Lotuses. Fernando can add his 5 seconds per lap at will anyway, so the speed of the car doesnt really matter to him.

Sergio Perez went to a school in southern Germany for a time before he was an F1 driver, due to him being contracted to Sauber (sponsored by Ferrari driver academy) way before he got his F1 seat. That´s what i heard, he should speak good german then ? Buemi who comes from the french speaking part of...

Quoting from Bild the part that gets the kangaroo lovers so rattled = "Auf eine Stallorder darf Vettel nicht hoffen. Teamrivale Mark Webber (36) hat zwei WM-Punkte mehr.

As soon as Button is mathematically no longer in the running he will have to move over for Hamilton should the occasion arise. But not sooner, that´s what is in their contract. As the rate things are going this should happen 4 or even 5 races before the final round in Brazil, so Hamilton will have h...

What is the OP smoking ? Ricciardo was doing his run on the softer tyre compound like everyone except Hamilton maybe ! Webber 2.0 Jr just wasnt quick enough.

Strange that nobody has mentioned Button - Hamilton yet, McLaren PR videos can´t fool me ! They genuinly dislike each other and it shows.

But real bitter rivalries like Senna vs Prost or Schu vs Hill with this lot of sanitized drivers and in this age of PC are not on the agenda anytime soon.

A slight problem that could now arise is the consistency of the stewards/FIA on the penalties given to drivers, as in Aus 2011 didn't Vettel make an overtaking move off the circuit on Button as well? Or was it at another race, still why didn't Vettel get a penalty for that illegal overtake when he ...

So Vettel was impeded two times this weekend, the first time cost him pole position and the second time cost him a place to Button (thanks to Buttons teammate of all people) but he should get a penalty ??? Button´s constant moaning about Vettel really really really irritates me now, the only good th...

Jim Clark had the best car and guaranteed number 1 position throughout his career. He was also responsible for the fatal accident at Monza, killing von Trips, his main rival and several spectators. But he´s had good PR department at his side, he was a bit like Button on his better Brawn days. But he...

At least he is not one of those a slimy McLaren drivers

Commentars said it was an illegal move by Hamilton because he was shown blue flags. Coupled with the Vettel/Button overtake which was only neccesary due to Hamilton impeding Vettel earlier on, this will make for juicy talks with the stewards. If they punish Vettel with a time penalty, Hamilton shoul...

A lot of hysteria about nothing and the usual suspects getting ahead of themself on planetf1. Red Bull just stretched the rules as they should and now they will be further clarified for Hungary, that´s all.

And i thought McLaren has done enough damage over the weekend by turning F1 into a computer animated sitcom ! :-P It´s crap and is another step in dumbing down the "sport". It´s certainly no coincidence this new podium procedure was introduced in the UK by the not so bright Jackie Stewart. OK it was...

Vettel will outscore Webber and Alonso in the end. Silverstone, like Nuerburgring has always been one of Webbers "special" tracks, it was good that he took points off from Alonso there. And Vettel was only 5 seconds behind him after all, he didnt forget how to drive fast. If this years German GP wou...

It's down to Webber really. I still think Webber will stay. It's the best option for him atm. Yes and I also think Webber deserves that seat more than either of the Toro Rosso guys. Although if you think it in the Red Bull's perspective, they might want to start looking around if Vettel is to leave...

Was Grosjeans car starting to fail him when he was overtaken or was he just caught napping by Alonso, that is the question that has not been asked so far ! Maybe the FIA should investigate Button for using pornographic language and not for the first time if i may say so. He brings the sport into dis...

It will be Webber in 2013 and maybe beyond, until his protege Ricciardo has gained some more experience and made a name for himself. Next year is too soon for Ricciardo´s move to the A league so Webber stays.

Wickens was dropped by Red Bull the year before he beat Ricciardo and Vergne to the title. At that point Red Bull was looking after the interests of the drivers still on their payroll and with Wickens no longer sponsored by them, why should they be responsible for the rebuff from the F1 community to...

Button chances are overrated by the bookies, best bets for your money are Schumacher & Rosberg.
