Glad that Friday Practice was rain free all day. Mclaren desperately need Fridays to gather lots of data from which we were able to do today. Been very unlucky this season with the amount of washed out Fridays we've had so it's been a refreshing change.
Also glad that the tyres were fine, I'm getting a bit bored of hearing so much about them it was good to see that there weren't any incidents. The less incidents the better as far as tyres are concerned!
Mclaren seem to be improving race by race. It's still possible that there could be race wins this year, weather conditions and luck may need to intervene but if we keep on improving it could be possible, anythings possible in F1 anyway!
In the first 6 races Button was in the points 5 times with the other one being a failure, he's failed to be top 10 in the last two races. Perez got points finishes in 3 of the first 5 races and has failed to finish twice and finished outside the points in the last three races. Mclaren are getting WORSE and nothing else indicates otherwise. Button and Perez's highest finishes were in the 3rd/4th races respectively.... in what way are they improving race by race, given that they have gone backwards, scored less and publically announced they have given up on the 2013 car because it was going nowhere?
Considering they are giving up actively trying to make the 2013 car better, and only hope to improve 2014 parts which may or may not improve the 2013 car... I don't know where you think this massive improvement might come from.
Might they get a win or podium, sure, why not, so might any of the other teams that regularly finished 8th-18th, that is the nature of F1, it has no indication on the car improving or being better. The car doesn't need to improve to get a podium or win, they just need a lot of luck.
AS for trolling Hamilton or Mercedes, he's already finished above Hamilton once, thereby taking points off him(well if Perez and Button had dropped out)... its not trolling when your team gets utterly demolished by every metric by a "inferior" team everyone laughed at Hamilton for joining(bar a select intelligent few
).#
I'd also love Button at RBR.... might give Merc a shot at the constructors
I would think Button might be more likely for a move to Lotus should Kimi, or even Grosjean move on next year. Button would be a waste for Red Bull as they'll most likely want the second seat to go to a potential vettel replacement for the future. I can see Mclaren deciding to pick up a driver who can help more with development, Perez to continue being a potential future champion and bring in money while they free up the main seat for someone who can set up a car.... Kimi would be a good choice but can't see him being the poster by for such a strict media driven team.
