On Button, yes with a equally good car I can only see him finishing behind, he's not a fast nor great driver. No one really rated him till he won a championship but anyone with a car that much better would win. If you gave Kovo that car he'd have won the title.

I'm no Button fan but Barrichello had the same car that year and finished third in the championship.
 
Heavy rain please, more pit stop boat races etc. then a full wets q1, inters q2, brave souls on full drys in the last lap of q3.

I have nothing to do this afternoon apart from maybe sleep.
That would be the dream play out today.

Yes, sorry I was going to put it in that post but forgot, Rubens has moments where he seemed like he could be a great driver, but I really don't know if he was.

He came third because Brawn dominated the first half of the season but not the second, Button wasn't caught but Rubens was. It's no real indication of anything except that Rubens was happy to play no.2 to Button. Bit of a shame as I've always liked Rubens, there were races he was brilliant, I don't know if that is more down to particular tracks suiting him(most drivers have a track they just own at), or races where he let himself off the leash.
 
Rubens was rubbish compared to button, button dominated him
Button is good when he's at one with the car, that however happens rarely. He's not good at setting it up etc.
he's a good driver but not in the same league as vet, alonso, hammy.
He is way better than Rubens who was a number2

is that hammy at the front of the que.
 
That lap from hamilton was crazy fast considering he was held up through almost all the final sector behind two awful slow cars. Rosberg went a 10th faster despite being mostly clear. Hamilton finds the limit of his car ridiculously quickly in these kinds of conditions.
 
Hehe, I knew I'd pigeon it(football subforum reference if anyone doesn't know), Hamilton screwed up his next lap by going off, but then blew away the third lap 1.3 seconds faster than Kimi. Rosberg going faster afterwards. The track is drying but I think those two Merc times are more just Merc showing their hand times than the track getting 2 seconds faster in the space of one lap.

Button with bits seemingly flying off the car.

EDIT:- because Alonso/Kimi went significantly slower than the Merc's at same stage on the track that really is just Merc's showing their pace with a clear lap. Seemingly new inter's for some teams, how on earth is a Lotus gonig out on inters when the awful teams with zero grip are going off on dry tyres. Crap teams all to slide off the track and crash?
