Ross Brawn has to be laughing his dick off at the mo - they are, stops adjusted, 1 and 2, got the rubbish tyres out of the way and have clear track. The whole Brawn team deserve MBE's tbh

Perhaps - but the real shock has to be that Button's now got nearly 16 and a half seconds on Barry.
 
Anyone else seen the Renaultsport Megane parked up at the chicane after the tunnel, presume its a medical car or something? :D

Not really, their driving styles of the two drivers have come into play - JB is a VERY smooth driver and is lighter on his tyres whilst RB throws the car around the track. They were evenly matched in the first few laps before RB's tyres died a hoorrible death.

In the re-fuelling era, I can remember Mika Salo running the entire race in '97 on one tank - with the rain slowing proceedings down so they only got 61 laps in during the two hour limit, and the Cosworth V8 being pretty frugal as F1 engines go, he was able to manage his fuel and tyres and get up in to the points. Think he ran the last part of the race with a broken front wing as well! It ended up being Tyrrell's last points in F1.

True, but Barry wants to win this race in particular soo badly - he must be pushing super hard.
 
Stupid football, R5L keeps going to the stupid football commentators. Grr got to listen to stupid brundle , R5L just show him up as a stupid Muppet.

Any way, stunning drive from Button so far and most of the other cars still have to go on the super softs.

AcidHell2 - listen to CBBC commentary instead - they were just explaining why the cars seems to have 'sparklers' attached to the back of them sometimes :D
