Both Mclaren drivers held each other up which was annoying.

Unbelievable.

McLaren ask Perez to "temper" style. Hypocrites.

Nice sensationalist headline from Autosport, when the only bit Whitmarsh said about that was this in bold -

"He's a young driver, he's going to learn, perhaps calm down a little bit in some things but at the same time it's that passion that got him past a few more drivers later in the race."

And use his elbows is what Perez EXACTLY did today... his racing was clean imo.

Apart from the contact he made a few times?

Cavallino said:
My sentiments. I believe the boundaries we're skirted for sure, but not crossed.

Agreed, even if it did slow them both down. In a way Button would have been better off letting him past and keeping with him.

My point earlier was about it being clean racing, which it wasn't

Ted's notebook has been extended since earlier - http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/formula-1/8663429/teds-notebook-bahrain

New bit is from 7 mins 10 sec onwards (a bit odd editing on the new bit at the beginning).

Also see Autosport has changed the earlier article title to "Bahrain GP: McLaren keen Perez keeps 'spark' after Button duels".

Sky F1: Midweek report

Should F1 have gone to Bahrain? Was Jenson Button right to complain about Sergio Perez's driving? Is F1 racing becoming too artificial? Has DRS turned out to be a force for good or bad? And just why is it taking the stewards so long to make decisions this season?

To discuss these issues, and plenty more!, The Times' Motor Racing correspondent Kevin Eason and former Williams CEO Adam Parr join Anna Woolhouse in the F1 Midweek Report Studio.
