Least dannyjo22 point regards RB supporting JB is less likely now with RB not scoring points this race...

Both have to use the soft tyres. And Vettel is harder on them.

Nice move by Buemi

Over Clocker · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:58

Buemi passes Hamilton.....

Hmm ... bad!!

PinkFloyd · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:59

What happened with Alonso? I missed it.

Yeah but rubens will still win this race

I have to say that because everytime I tip rubens, JB wins

Rubens will get a hatrick of wins starting today

Unless all the cars infront spontaneously combust from the heat..... hmmm....

So how many laps will JB be on the softs for? Looks like 17/18. Cant see Vettel not coming in in the next 5laps (lap 13/14 to go)

I still think a 2nd and 3rd for Red Bull is a very good result...

If by "random" you mean, "picked out of a hat by Bernie last week", then yeah it is

The team said "If you can't overtake him then get out of his slipstream to save the engine temperature" or something. Alonso replied "I cannot do that" which obviously meant he couldn't overtake.

philjohn · 7 Jun 2009 at 14:07

so button has 15 laps on the softs.

Cybermyk · 7 Jun 2009 at 14:08

Perfect stop for Button

Ross Brawn is a genius

Id say hes got common sense - its easy to do strategy from the front, Red Bull tried to do something (like Brawn with Rubens) to make in-roads but it depended on SV doing very fast laps all the time which he just hasnt done (expect the standard tyre issue excuse)...

It was a more general statement than that..... He's made some awesome choices at previous races and allowed Button to shine like he can

Agreed - though Id twist it to say it the other way - Buttons allowed Brawn to look like hes a genius, because hes just done everything hes been asked and been pretty much flawless in the majority of conditions...

Bugger I was 2laps out on JB and SVs pits :/

All over for Rubens. First retirement for a Brawn car ever!

philjohn · 7 Jun 2009 at 14:16

Barry retired.

griffo_001 · 7 Jun 2009 at 14:16

THAT was a slick stop 5.8 sec, albeit for no real fuel...
A Brawn out..... didn't see that coming
