I wouldn't have slowed down for yellows there, or did he make a mistake?

Thats what they said in commentary, just set the time, then speak to the stewards later. If you get a penalty well it makes no difference.

You only have to lift off a little for single yellows.

What a shockingly poor show from button. He gets worse and worse.

He was only 6 tenths off Hamilton.......hardly shockingly poor.

Almost everyone was up in s2 and lost 3-4 seconds in s3. Its a lot wetter there. Happned to di resta too.

Nice chat with Petrov there, his English seems to have improved a fair bit since he entered F1.

was hoping button would knock rosberg out

Oh button, no excuse

Your an odd child...

CaptainRAVE · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:27

Now it is raining!

Flibster · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:27

How many years does button have left on his contact?

Thats a surprise given that button is a wet weather master.

This qualifying session is better than most races.

Glaucus · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:28

I can only assume button massively slowed down. He was 1.5 up, he should have just done a slow final few corners.

Indeed, this is going to be fascinating. Why would you be on inters at this stage?

Spuj · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:28

Wow its even wetter over the short gap between :eek:

englishpremier · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:28

If anyone is watching MotoGP qually it's absolutely hammering it down now. If that was F1 it'd be red flagged.

CaptainRAVE · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:29

Red flag inbound probably. Shocked the FIA has even let them out on full wets tbh.

Skeeter · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:30

Take a note of the conditions now, when the drivers know they have to set times and are just getting on with it. Then compare it to the weather tomorrow when you hear the leader crying down the radio that the conditions are "completely undriveable" :rolleyes:

As i said, i dont think it was the yellows, s3 was very wet. Di resta was -0.3 in s2, ended the lap +5.2, no traffic or spins, just very wet.
