Did Button say he thought he would have come third?? Lol

Quite possible - he was running about 10 seconds or so behind the Mercs until the pitstop fail, who then had to crawl the last dozen laps to save fuel.

Thats what I dislike about Webber, he knows exactly what his position is, he's completely happy to stay and get second, he knows exactly what the score is before he chooses to stay... then he stays because he wants second if he can get it, and the money a title winning team offers a second place driver.

Couldn't disagree more. Although I wouldn't rate Webber as high as Vettle/Alonso/Hamilton, why would he leave to go to a worse team? He had the choice to join Ferrari and be a number 2 to Alonso, but he decided to stay at Red Bull and be given the same opportunity as Vettel to drive the quickest car on the grid. For several reasons he hasn't made it work, but what Vettel did today (proved by how Red Bull actually disliked what he did publicly) was just a joke.

At least now the gloves are off and it'll be nice to see them going toe to toe

I want to know what F1 kitty has to say on the matter.

No way will he be banned. Surprised it came from Watson - usually its Lauder coming out with the comedy attention seeking lines.

Well put, Zuban.

A lot of teams have an 'overtake' button that allows full revs and things on the engine. Maybe RBR have a single button that both over-revs the engine and deploys KERS at the same time, rather than having to press 2 buttons?

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

Webber would be a great rear gunner for Alonso, especially against Vettel trying to go for the WDC in the RB.

I thought it related to a position on the multi function wheel dials, i.e. an engine mode?

I think most thought that. It maybe a mode on the dial as well (for mapping) but CH said Multi21 = Web Vet and Multi12 = Vet Web (guessing it means the car numbers).

Looks like they won't be giving team orders again. That is until they either collide or when Vettel is given backing like normal then
