Belgium Grand Prix 2011, Spa Circuit - Race 12/19

Why does button only make progress once Hamilton is out of the race?

Button always seems to thrive in these slightly off the norm races, be it rain or dodgy tyre wear he more often than not seems to come from the clouds to win!

It seems to be the case, a little rain now could see Button even further up the field!

 

[Deathwish]

Button: How far ahead are they?
Engineer: 8 Seconds

Button: "Challenge Accepted!"

haha, i only just realised i am watching on sky+ and realised i am 70 minutes behind. durr.

Well i guess ill stop reading this thread, i was like button 4th?? hah

Button looking strong, definite podium in the offing, alonso and vettel's engineers must be looking closely at webbers and buttons times.

He's already used the slower tyres as well. Should see him flying soonish. Don't those ahead have to pit?

 

[Jono8]

so Webber or button for the win?!

Mansell wins, Prost crashes out on lap 39.

They're using ex-drivers - it works for me. We get far better decisions from them than we ever used to from Balestre's mates.

I'd rather they used ex-drivers, as they're the most qualified to judge incidents based on their knowledge as drivers rather than solely on what they see on TV, just use the same ones each race.

Having said that, Coulthard and Brundle very rarely agree so what do I know

Button for driver of the day at the moment. Having a great race, could be on for a podium.

Has webber used the whites as well?

Gonna be close between them 2 if he has.

 

[The_Abyss]

Yep - Webber is in the same position as Button. Could be a cracking finish.

LOL seriously you idea of parallel isn't what parallel means. If he was 'parallel' Kobs front right wouldnt of HIT behind Lewis front left. Both Brundel and Coulthard saying Kob put his car in the wrong position. Inside video in hamiltons showed he hardly moved left other than to take the racing line.

Fair enough if you don't like Lewis but don't go being blinded by your grudges like so many of the hamilton haters.

Someone is jumping to conclusions. I'm not a Hamilton hater - feel free to go and check previous GP threads. I've got an opinion and I'll back it up. Unfortunately I can't share any wisdom as regards Netball having never watched it. I've been a pre-occupied watching every F1 race live since 1986.

I think you need a trip to Specsavers. Kobayashi tagged Hamiltons rear wheel.

Hardly moved left is now taking the racing line is it? There was no racing line. Hamilton covered the inside of the corner to stop Kobayshi stuffing one up the inside, then "hardly moved left" to get a better entry to the corner. The only problem was that Kobayashi was along side and Hamilton left less than a car width.

Might be in same position, but button still catching him significantly.

 

[.:MBK:.]

button got a turning vein on his rear wing?

 

[utajoker]

alonsos last stop.

McLaren remember they have another driver.

 

[dante6491]

Button is ahead of Vettel!

 

[The_Abyss]

They need to pit Button ASAP.

 

[Weebull]

Stick with him, Jenson!

Just a broken rear wing.
