Hope Button holds Vettel up something chronic.

Masterdog · 8 May 2011 at 13:23

Hmm. Depending on his strategy, button could be looking good for a podium here
edit - oh. Never mind.

Mike_P · 8 May 2011 at 13:23

button needs to come in

Danthus · 8 May 2011 at 13:23

So Button holding up Vettel and Hamilton has changed strategy.

Hopefully he can keep holding Vettel up for a bit.

Wow Schumacher allowing Barrichello past without needing team orders, hitting him or pushing him into the wall. :eek:

ps3ud0 · 8 May 2011 at 13:25

Im a cynic but cant help that McLaren keeping Button out for longer was more to help Hamilton get back past him than anything else.

EDIT: Apologises - I didnt realise hes only 3stopping...

ps3ud0 :cool:

It's just not the same, is it?

aspirins · 8 May 2011 at 13:26

Still nothing on Massa unsafe release from stewards...

Kenai · 8 May 2011 at 13:26

Either Rosbergs car is knackered at high speed or this DRS system is demonstrating itself to be a joke as this is not racing, this is just driving up to someone fast then breezing past because of a button.

The two McLarens have shown that the cars can overtake elsewhere on the track without the need for such a stupid system.

mmj_uk · 8 May 2011 at 13:26

He's lucky not to have got a penalty for ramming Petrov tbh, I guess they have taken the stance that he was punished enough by coming off the worst.

MarcLister · 8 May 2011 at 13:27

Haha. Brundle on Rosberg getting overtaken, "He'll be getting out of the way for a tortoise".

utajoker · 8 May 2011 at 13:28

schui going backwards

Tweaker · 8 May 2011 at 13:28

I could easily just watch Kobayashi all day

Mike_P · 8 May 2011 at 13:28

The more I see the less I like it. Just feels so artificial.

Did they go massive rear wing and use DRS on qauli to get so far up. Now with the race no DRS and so slow on straights.

Massa can't seem to make it work

LOL!

Shumacher's day can only get worse if he parks his car at Rascasse
