BIG NEWS: Jenson Button, who finishes down in 14th, asks his Brawn team radio: "What have we done to this car? I'm massively struggling for grip."

looks like Rubens is keeping his setup to himself.

Cool.

Neither of the brawns looked comfortable, at first I thought it was due to fuel load, and I still think they will be going out heavier than the Red Bulls and the Mclaren's, but Jenson did have a shocker.

Made a change to hear Button moaning over the team radio .Just got a feeling hes going to really struggle this weekend.

Didn't this rumour also go around at Monza?

If Button is gaining an advantage then you can hardly blame Rubens for denying him the information now. Brawn appear to have the constructors chamionship in the bag so they're just fighting for the drivers title, why on Earth should Rubens help Button beat him to the championship. Do it yourself Jenson!

As you say they have the constructors and this should now be a fair fight. Setting up the car is part of it. Sort it Jens!!

Rubens gearbox has been changed. so this is not looking good for any of the Brawns.

Spot on.

F1 is a team sport and as such a team should make the maximum of the situation. I am sure that Rubens' has used Jenson's information in the past. Just because they are coming up to the title. it should be for the team to get maximum results not petty squabling between drivers.

If other teams were still realistically involved in the title battle, I can see why Brawn's top brass would get involved. As it is, Red Bull are pretty much out of things - certainly the constructors' championship and almost certainly the drivers' title - so Barrichello and Button should be allowed to race as they choose, so long as they don't take out one another in the race.

And what is Rubens reward, he hasn't been offered a contract and will be replaced by Rosberg. I don't blame Rubens for trying to win the WDC as long as Brawn GP wins the constructor.

This is true. However, look at it this way. You're currently on better form than your team-mate who is your only real rival, you've got a 14-point deficit with 40 points available. It's realistic to say you've got a decent chance of taking the title fight to the wire and possibly winning it. Do you want to give your biggest challenger, who already has a lead on you, any extra advantage?
