No way that this could be Hitler & the Dwarf trying to stretch out or fix the WDC & WCC is there?

NO

It's a big safety issue and a fair punishment.

They need a safety car and a few retirements

Could well happen with all the crashes, did you see how heikkis car bounced over that kerb. The cars just haven't got enough road heigh for hat kerb or corner.

I know what you mean - but it's happened before and it could happen again. In 1986 everyone was interested in the Mansell/Piquet duel and Prost came from behind (or was it equal with Piquet?) to pip the pair of them.
Same again for Raikkonen in 2007.

vettles hasn't go a chance of getting the title. Button needs 5 points in any one or a combination of the last races to make it imposable for vettle.

That can easily happen, especially if they keep qualifying low down.

easily? it's unthinkable button will not score 5 points in the last 3 races and that is assuming vettle wins all of them, which is not going to happen. Red bull on works on some tracks. He lost any chance at the WDC last weekend. That's also ignoring what Rubens does. maybe if Brawn were banned from racing he would have a 30% chance of getting it.

*waits for this post to bite me in the rear*

Good race, button yet again scoring points from a dreadful weekend. He needs to sort quail out.

*totally unrelated and feels sorry for himself*
Also messed my ankle up which is now over twice the size and I can't walk

and standings pretty darn hard.

Yeah, I really like the guy, but he'll be the least deserving champion since Jacques Villeneuve. I don't see anyone else taking it though, certainly not anyone more deserving of it. Truth is that Button has driven a better season than Vettel who's thrown away his chances too often.

So you don't rate most WDCs then as most have had difficult 2nd half on there first WDCs.

Button had a fantastic first half and even on bad weekends makes the most of it and takes a few points. Very deserving. It's the same every year, people belittle the leader.

little to no competition in the first half of the season. All the other teams were finding their feet. now everyone has caught up with development, he looks pretty average and the drivers with real pace are showing their skill ( raikonnen,hamilton, vettel e.t.c.)

Barrichello had the same car and did not capitalise, vettle has shown massive inconsistency. Hamilton has an extremely good cars now. Raikonnen is like button making the best of a not brilliant situation.
Button despite not havng the best car and despite bad qaulis is getting the car into the points and doing what needs to be done.

What's that got to do with anything, I didn't say anything about halves?

Why, yes, that's why I said Schumacher, Alonso, Raikkonen, Mika and Lewis didn't deserve to be champions. Oh wait... I didn't, did I?

That's what I'm saying if you don't rte button and don't think he deserves it, then you have to say the same thing about other WDCs as they have done exactly the same, Schumacher and Hamilton included, prost to name a few.
Plenty of seasons where williams, mclaren or ferrari have had mass advantages over all the rest.

this is the first championship the hardest to get.
and how about buttons season with BAr when he came 2nd or was it 3rd any way same diff.

when has anyone run with a crap car? the cars have always been up there in the first few rows.
