I think that mclaren gets good drive off the slow corners, he could be a road block for a few people.

Absolutely fantastic drive from Button. It's great what a tiny bit of water can do for a quali session

I like a happy Jenson! I hope if McLaren drop him he gets the drive at Williams

deuse · 2 Jul 2016 at 14:27

Well done Lewis and Button.

Merlin5 · 2 Jul 2016 at 14:27

Button 5th I think, excellent. About time he got in the picture. Love him to get on the podium in 3rd but don't think it'll happen.

Great Q3, just when you thought Hulk had it, then Vettel, etc, then Hamilton finds that winning time.

Junglist · 2 Jul 2016 at 14:29

Jenson can be quite defensive when he wants. I know as soon as DRS is available it's different but C'mon button!!

Skeeter · 2 Jul 2016 at 14:31

If its dry Button may struggle to stay in the points.

If its wet, who knows!

Wheres knip? She best be dancing!

Merlin5 · 2 Jul 2016 at 14:33

Yes, we need a knip raindance.

Junglist · 2 Jul 2016 at 14:35

Has Hulk missed his chance for a big team?

A massive shame for Perez, he's been consistently faster and off their first laps was 4/10ths up on Hulk again before his suspension went. What I don't get is, all they really had to do was replace a wishbone, the suspension didn't start flailing around, it didn't damage loads of body work, the wing and didn't need a whole bunch of stuff replacing.

Force India have been slowly making that car way stronger than their budget 'should' allow them to be. Hopefully the 2017 rules switch doesn't leave them behind and they can stay competitive for next year. Two good drivers in the team but Perez is starting to get a lot of interest, it wouldn't shock me to see him take Kimi's seat next year.
