Well what do you expect. The guy is 32 years old, got his first win.
Spent his whole career racing around in crap really.

Besides Button might as well be dead. We all know Hami is going to win 10 titles. Right?
Unless Schumi doesn't leave LOL Even though there is like 7 races left I bet some how he'll manage to win LOL

The season is well and truly open now.  I don't think Hamilton will win the title.  I hope Button does.  But Vettel and Webber have the best chances now.


Webber all the way!

Anyone for golf?
 
Sounds like F1 is on the way out. I am not knowledgeable of this sport anymore but I have to say the recent freak horrific accidents have not helped together with what seems embarrassing politics. What the heck is going on?

I think Sauber might continue racing as an indipendent team, like in the 90's

Plus Schumy returning will inevitably get more people stuck to their sofas at home and thus more revenue from television.

No mention of BMW pulling out at the end of the year then?

Dont be too sure of that, for this year Honda's left them a good deal of money. The problem is recent improvments havnt worked, the cars a bit unbalanced now and they need to sort it out quick.

I'm stunned that Schumy is returning to F1, I really wasnt expecting that. I dont expect much from him in Spain, he doesnt know the track, car or KERS, but the race after that is Spa, so I'm expecting fireworks there!.

That's what I was thinking. Its only been 2 races BUT if they are starting to lose the grip while Ferrari and McLaren are coming to life.....well not so good.
But hey what Brawn did was DAMN impressive and I havn't personally seen such an independent sticking it to the man of Ferrari and McLaren.

But as you said...Brawn doesn't have bottomless pockets of money to throw at the car every week.

If Mark Webber was to win the title this year, well I would literally jump for joy!

And I'd also have to laugh if Button, after his mostly shameful career thus far, had the greatest start EVER and ended up losing out...

Wow. Seems you were serious. Tongue
 
I can't believe it. And just when I thought Button would have the championship in the bag...Wink
Dig me...But don't...Bury me

Yeah, I hear it's true, at least for the race in Spain. The old timer is coming back again. Says he's too loyal to the team.
