Yes i was , a good race in that he finished & got the most out of the car.
Hamilton got the most out of the car, Jenson got nothing. He was woefull but he knows it. No one was holding jenson up.

He finished behind BMW, Renault and Williams - all of which are slower cars than the McLaren (Hamilton showed this to be the case).
By rights, only RBR and Ferrari have the right to finish ahead of him. When Hamilton broke down, he only had RBR and Ferrari ahead of him.
This was probably Button's worst race weekend.
Just to clarify, Button finished in 8th place. When Hamilton broke down, he was running in 4th. Had Hamilton finished the race, Button would've finished in 9th.
F1fanatic tweeting why you shouldn't push drivers off the track.
Not sure if its a good example though since he's not alongside. But it is an example of what could result.

People wonder why Ferrari favoured Alonso last weekend, That's the reason..Massa has been crap compared to Alonso this year.
