Hamilton threw away points due to a crash yesterday.
Hamilton also threw away points at Canada by getting impatient (before he met his end with Button, he was also involved with 2 other incidents in that race).

Why doesn't Vettel get involved in these types of crashes? Is it the car or the driver? Why does Vettel seldom have a poor qualifying? Why is it that when the RBR car is quick, Vettel maximises the car's pace?

It is true that when Vettel is not leading, he is a shadow of his usual self, but when he is not leading, at least he keeps the car on the road and brings the car home in a decent points finish.

Hamilton gets involved in too many crashes. Yesterday's crash was ridiculous and very amateurish. Most people on this forum were unable to see that Hamilton was partially to blame for the collision. The problem is though, no matter who's fault it is, Hamilton is the guy who loses out. The best thing to do is tread carefully and be aware of everything around (including silly drivers doing silly things). I would would bet my house that if Button was in Hami's place, neither of those incidents (Maldo, Koba) would've ended in contact.

Button's weakness though, is qualifying.

Alonso, for me, still remains the best overall driver in F1, though Vettel isn't far behind. And at the current rate of progression and consistency, it won't be long before Vettel will have to be classified as the best driver in F1.

Vettel has been at the front in qualifying which means he has less chance of running into people / being run into. He can control the pace, when to pit, etc so is much less likely to have problems than Mclaren.

Alonso for me has been disappointing this year.

I love it.
It's been a long time since I felt such excitement as I felt when DRS was engaged for the first time in Canada 2011. The moment that happened I knew Button would have a chance to attack Vettel.

Without DRS, I was thinking, that Button was doing great, but he would get stuck behind MSc or Webber and as a result wouldn't be able to attack Vettel.

I like it, but sometimes its annoying when it allows a driver to make a complete overtake maneuver rather than putting them in a place to make a move, if you know what I mean. Hopefully the FIA will learn from what has happened this year and make some tweaks to the distances.

Middle of P3.

Rain comes down, all the cars go in, nothing happening on track and I'm getting very wet.

At first I was like:

But then, when I realised I was on TV, I was like:
