Ok then I shall give the silly answer and say hes just after an early finish so he can get his cornetto.

Come on Vettel, don't make my race prediction look stupid!

But thats good surely, it means its about to get exciting!

Naah Buttons on the hard tyre - just a poor set it seems for the fuel load...

Will come back to him once the fuel load is more manageable...

ps3ud0 :cool:

It's no way near over yet. Vettel could still win this.

Vettel is still at least 25 seconds behind JB in real terms though.

Then why was he racing for BAR and Honda?

Because he was loyal and believed in his team, He personally paid a lot of money to stay at BAR (although they did give him huge wages to pay him back). His loyalty is now paying off

Its not guarenteed he will 3 stop, if he gets ahead they may just go very long themselves on the last stint. Unlikely but possible.

Button has to hold him for as long as possible to stop vettel getting too much of a gap when he passes.

red button chaps, its a good view from vettels car

V-Spec · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:41

Button is so good under pressure,

Long last stint on the softs? Wouldn't like to be doing that myself!

This is really nail biting stuff, and shows that cars can follow much closer than last year IMHO.

I rekon the constant smoothness of Button's driving will drive Vettal mad after 10 minutes

Ted Kravitz confirmed it after speaking to the team...

Moved to 3 stops and told to chase down Button

see how calm he was before race? I think hes just got the right mind set for it at the moment.

Admit it, off the track he the coolest out there, shorts and an ice cream, and then there was what he said to Brundle during Schumachers retirement celebrations.....
