If Button was an average driver he wouldn't still be in F1. He isn't Maldonaldo bringing stacks of cash. The problem here is Hydra cant see that Vettels cars were better than anything Button ever drove. A lot of people think Red Bull had the car to beat Brawn too just not the drivers to do it. I'm ...

Looks like Red Bull are going to put in an official protest to McLaren's dragonfly suspension. Of all the sources I have read, most believe the FIA will sanction it. It's seems to be within the rules but against the spirit. Ferrari are supposedly now testing the feature in their wind tunnel but the ...

My heart says Button, my head says Hamilton. I'm fairly convinced the WDC will be British this year.

petef1

Big year this year I think for Jenson. Button to make it four wins out of the the last five races at Melbourne? I'm pretty confident he will.

Interesting reading...

Punting on F1 can be very profitable, and it is my second favourite only to horses. Punting on the WDC however, is not that valuable. It's effectively a very long term bet, in which all manner of things can go on between March and November. However, I believe Button will win the WDC and have taken o...

For all it's faults, I still really enjoy the game. I got very disillusioned with online, but then started playing with all assists banned on the filter settings, which basically means ABS, auto gearbox and TC all removed. It's now great as you get real players, but unfortunately at the detriment of...

Am I the only one who thinks Georgie Thompson is a welcome addition?

petef1

I can't help to saying this, but, I think Jenson is going to win again this Sunday!. I think it's going to be a great race; we could see an all Mercedes powered lockout of the front two rows. I have to admit, I've had a cheeky couple of quid on the two Mercs for pole purely because the odds were so...

petef1

A couple of issues in both sessions for Jenson which will obviously put him a little on the back foot. Pace is promising from Hamilton though and Jenson did get a good long run in so I think we're in a good place.

Roll on qualifying!

Yes that's correct. 0900 UK local time.

Good to see the living legend that is the Planet F1 'Magic Button!!!!!' thread staying up there on the top tier, and some great contributions by new [to the thread] members.

Let's hope for more positive subjects this weekend.

petef1

Not at all! Jenson deserves all the praise he's been getting and there's no doubt he's a top contender. The point I made to make sure everyone understands is that if Jenson wasn't with McLaren, Hamilton would have won the WDC in 2010 and possibly contended in 2011... I'll quote you here, from the p...

petef1

Shocking, don't you know Hamilton won the championship in 2008! RETHINK YOUR OPINIONS. :nod: :lol: :!: And whats that got to do with it. He didn't win it in '07 '09 '10 or '11 It was claimed that Jens pushes Lewis into making mistakes BUT Lewis doesn't push Jens into making them. So if that claim i...

Rain is a performance leveller. Yes some cars will be relatively better then others but setup and driver skill are more important in my book. I agree some will switch their tyres on easier but dont forget the wet tyres wear out as well so chances are they will chew those up too. Chances are mclaren...

petef1

Well something clearly did looking at the figures. It just looks similar to Monza 2010 IMO. Jenson went for the barn door rear wing, Lewis the skinny and Jenson had the better weekend. Could be differing gear ratios. Lewis set up to make up for more use of the DRS in quali. Button set up for the he...

Last race just told me what I already knew. Lewis's team-mate now is of such a high quality that, each time he encounters a problem or makes a mistake, he will be punished. Mistake #1 - his poor start Mistake #2 - coming out of the pits behind cars on a different strategy Mistake #3 - Vettel leapin...

Jenson is joint favourite with Lewis, at 9/4 to win the Malaysian GP this weekend.

However, you can get 7/2 on Button for pole.

That is why i dont like the British Media, they are always biased . More especially i dont like Brundle's Commentary, I am just happy that BBC still provides commentary on the World Feed. Button did a great job in Aus, but there is no need to slate other drivers, or influence audiance negatively to...

petef1

We shall see, won't we. Time will tell, and yes, I think if Hamilton had got to the first corner first he would have won because it's difficult to overtake in Melbourne just as Jenson found out against Massa last year. I still think the driver who gets to that first pitstop first will have the edge...

petef1

imo, that's the problem. He doesn't hate JB enough. JB thus has the mental edge over Lewis as he's the more PR guy in Mclaren. My view is based on the way he races Button. It seems a little gentle, compared to how he raced Alonso back then. But I feel in terms of raw speed, Lewis is still better . ...

Jenson is a solid driver. Give him a good car, he can win. He proved that. Jenson > Lewis Can't argue with that :lol: Still, wish to see Jenson slug it out with other World Champions out there. We'll see when he went up against a faster car. I don't get your point, when has he not "slug[ged]" it ou...

I am sure that Hamilton will qualify ahead of Jenson more aften than not during the course of the season, if he does that, he will get to that first corner ahead of Jenson more often than not, if he does that he should get to that crucial first pit stop first and then manage the race from there. To...

I do love the fly-aways, you can have the race in the morning and still have all day Sunday to do what you want to do; and I've had today's Mother's day to reflect on the opening race. I have to admit, after JB's first run in Q3 and Lewis' first storming time which ended up being pole, alarms bells ...

Clever marketing opportunity and much nicer to drink than Red Bull too
