Where is Eddie by the way?

Probably couldn't get a visa for his wig!

Well this guys a nob.

I don't see how he can think Button did it intentionally, Button was never going to gain anything from it unless he ran over Vettel's pit crew.

Supersofts are going to make their first appearance in Monaco.

Thats going to be fun in Q1, 24 cars, all on supersoft tyres that may wear out in a couple of laps...

 

[Garido]

Wow that Red Bull mechanic wasn't the sharpest tool in the box was he.

What did he say, I don't get your feed post race.

I think that was one of the best F1 races I ever watched! Absolutely superb.

^

Most fo the drivers saw action, if this is a sign of more to come then bring it on!

Props to Di Resta and Rosberg, both had epic drives

 

[Rybo89]

His caveman brain eventually churned out 'he did it to cheat us'

 

[mmj_uk]

What did he say, I don't get your feed post race.

he said he believed that Button pitted wrongly intentionally to sabotage Vettel's pit stop.

the guy was Webber's team boss or something.

That Button cheated, that he intentionally went in the Red Bull pitbox to slow down Vettels stop.

Don't suppose that works in Aus?

LOL! They're all running away from DC in the Red Bull garage.

Traitor that donned a Rocket Red t-shirt!

Watching the race start on the F1 forum, Vettel clearly makes more than one move left and right. For me that is just racing, but considering Hamilton took a penalty for the same offence last week, it just highlights the inconsistency with the stewards race to race.

Rule doesnt apply during the first lap or two.

At the stewards discretion of course.

The excuse BBC made at the start is that the stewards can't police it with 22 cars on the straight doing it, so it's safe when the track is chock full of cars but extremely dangerous and punishable with only 2.

We all know the rule is there to prevent drivers defending position anyway.

Doesn't count from the start of the race for the first lap or so. There would be no way to enforce it, there is just too much happening.

The problem is, when two cars have been following each other for a while they can get very hot headed and do silly things. Usually isn't such a problem off the start.

He was chancing his luck for them to fit the flexi wing to his car.
