No that was just team orders being given propperly. But in all fairness I don't think Jenson would have got past Hamilton. I see we're back to Button bashing again... oh how I would hate to have the majority of people on here as a friend, you'd all turn on me in a heartbeat and be 2 faced. It's clear to me that he just can't get the car to work for him, there's nothing wrong with his driving, as you saw from his onboard lap he didn't make any mistakes.
Fantasic laps there from Hulkenberg looking forward to the race in a few hours, and iirc usually the williams is half decent off the line, so there's a chance he'll hold P1 for at least some of the first lap. I'd love him to hold it till the pit stops, where there's no doubt the red bull (which ever one ends up second) will put in some stunning laps.
He didn't make mistakes, but he also didn't push the car, despite going on about being fairly free to finally push hard because he's got nothing to lose.
Thats his biggest weakness, he's scared to really push, for fear of failing, thats what makes him a big bag of girlie parts. The thing he didn't do in quali, was break late into corners, break hard and risk it all, almost everyone else on the grid did do that. There isn't a driver on that grid that can't drive safely within the limits of the car and put in a perfect and completely safe lap, pushing to the very limit to get ahead, is something he's never done, and never will do.
But thats the thing, the fact he admitted due to his current situation he can push harder than usual, really just absolutely confirms the fact that normally, he doesn't. Do you think Alonso or Hamilton would, almost 50 points off in this race say they might push right to the limit as theres nothing to lose now, not on your life, there isn't a chance in hell as they do that every race already.
As for the fuel saving incident, after both drivers were told to slow down to save fuel, something almost every driver on the grid and every team has done at stages in almost every single race, he managed to get past him, and Hamilton within one straight, got him back, from not trying to straight back in front, sorry but thats how weak Button is, again, if he was "pushing" at the same level Hamilton/Alonso did, Hamilton would never have had a chance in a million years of taking back that position in that corner, he wimped out, again. Last year he finally had a car that going around perfectly safe without pushing, was so far ahead of everyone else he didn't need to, when the cars were closer and he was required to push, he got less points than Hamilton in the 5th best car that year, at best.
I've said before, a race with 24 buttons would be worse than a race with any other 24 identical drivers, they'd all finish, do the same lap time, make no mistakes and never once push the limits. He's the single dullest driver out there. To be fair I don't think any of the top 5 would be the best there, I think 24 Sutils in a wet race, with damaged brakes would be AWESOME.
I mean Button didn't even have any slides in that final lap thats how weak it was, Hamilton, Webber, Vettel, Hulkenberg were all over the ruddy road, sliding around corners, adjusting a slight oversteer or slide in a corner.
I think the single worst thing you can say about Button is, if I had to choose one of the 24 to drive my kids to school one morning, it would be Button.
