It looks like the McLarens are genuinely quick, now that both drivers are showing pace. As for Hamilton - I've said it before and I'll say it again - he is the real deal and has a good chance to attack and break all the records that were set by MS. Even better is the fact that he is British. Traditionally, the Brits tend to be a little soft when it comes to being ruthless and this is where they let themselves down. However, Hamilton doesnt suffer from this problem.
Why blowing off Hamilton? Kova was quicker in quallies (depending on the source used) although he wont be in the race and as I said in the last race the mclaren of hamilton wasn't just up the front because of the messiah. The car is genuinely quick or the quickest on certain tracks. As shown by where Kova has been. Hamilton has done nothing out of the ordinary by the pace of the car and Kova. It was the fastest car in the race he binned it on the first corner as well. That pace has nothing to do with the 2nd coming and all to do with the ability of a super rich team to copy and turnaround parts for the car.
You say you dont like playboys and keep banging on about Button yet apart from his first year at Benetton there is nothing to prove he is in that lifestyle. Perhaps you would like to furnish us with all the evidence you have to prove his playboy lifestyle over say someone like hamilton, or will you like the last time I asked just ignore it?
I doubt there is a driver on the grid that has worked on their fitness as hard as Jenson. What exactly would you like Jenson to do that he hasn't been doing already. SO what he took part in a triathalon, you also cannot prove that Hamilton has had more or less time in the sim than Button. How about I say Button has spent more time in the sim than hamilton this year, go on prove me wrong.
There's been more than enough pictures of Hamilton larking about in the sun as well. MS used to play football matches during the F1 season, are you questioning his commitment?
You or none of us have any evidence to say how commited any of them are unless a team boss tells us otherwise.
Taking into account fuel weights, the BBC Sport fuel-adjusted grid is as follows:
1 Rubens Barrichello lap 19
2 Heikki Kovalainen +0.216secs (lap 16)
3 Lewis Hamilton +0.249 (lap 15)
4 Jenson Button +0.291 (lap 18)
5 Sebastian Vettel +0.507 (lap 16)
6 Nico Rosberg +0.540 (lap 20)
7 Mark Webber +0.610 (lap 20)
8 Kimi Raikkonen +0.614 (lap 18)
9 Fernando Alonso +0.871 (lap 17)
10 Robert Kubica +1.114 (lap 17)
