I won't say I told you so.

But I will say

I don't get it, you told us what? that Jenson will win a race against Lewis,if so then know one has said he wont win a race. The only time when you can use that line is at the end of the season not the second race in. Jenson made a smart tactical move, not a driving move. It was after his team mate had come from 11th on the grid to overtaking him,button had to do something and he done a pit stop. He didn't out drive Lewis he just made a smart move at the right time.

The race clearly shows that button fighting with lewis on the track,lewis came out on top,he overtook him easily. Now, that said i am happy for Mclaren because even with a car that is not quite their we have managed to get on the podium in the first two races and the constructors table is looking sweet. Don't for one minute think that this is how the season will pan out,button won't be able to rely on early pit stop the whole season.

It quite easily could of been a McLaren 1-2 if not for the tactical era pitting Lewis when he had enough in his tyres to finish the race,they gambled on Ferrari coming in but they didn't.

Well done Mclaren,ill say that Button made the right choice but the season has far to go before you or i can say "i told you so".

Uh, so you can't read then?

I won't say I told you so.

I can read fine,hence me answering you now takes reading skills.

Care to explain why you responded to the exact opposite of what I said then?

hehe He's just a SMFAH. he cant read nor does it look as if he can actually grasp some kind of understanding of anything.
Jenson is clearly ahead. at least he proved he can think and apply himself, not just how to throw cars around a track. millions of people can do that

lol you two still at it then

Maybe Lewis repeated the same phrase to Button as Senna did to Mansell on the podium in Hungary 1992 :p

I am of the opinion that even though Button won, Hamilton had the better drive. He made so many heart stopping overtaking moves that we have come to expect from him in the past. He was justified when he said at the end he had driven one of his best races. Button had the luck with him today, he could so easily have gone off like he did and gone into a wall. He also wasnt at the wrong end of a bad McLaren strategic decision we have also come to know them for.
Its probably fair to say in the figthing mood Lewis was in that hadnt he been brought in for the tyre change, Button's mostly quiet run to the flag wouldnt have been so easy. And lets not forget Vettel being taken out by the Red Bull gremilns again .
I am just happy that the race was exciting compared to Bahrain and it has to be said most of that was down to Hamilton.

So we're ignoring Button's genius, ballsy move to put on the Dries first, and his supreme driving to not only keep them from going off, but to keep them out and out quick? It was just luck, was it?

For all that Hamilton deserves a large share of the credit for the quality of today's "show" you can't really forget Alonso's comeback, or di Grassi saying "thanks but no thanks" to Schumi... or the guts of Robert Kubica to defy the odds. And one thing you can't forget is Buttons roll of the dice.

Hell even Massa's handful of a drive added to the story.

A kiss and a hug?

Ah well... Jenson did a better race than Lewis, but was not faster. Mclaren have a good pair of drivers. Lewis will probably come up with more pts to the end, but Jenson has some good strenghts that will keep him delivering. Specially since the MP is not that behind the others. Let's hope Lewis doesnt let the child out and make the relation difficult....

Alonso and Massa are going to have a tough season.... Alonso is faster, but Massa will not back down and they are quite close matched. Alonso actually effectively shielded Massa against Lewis and Webber there at the end

A genius move that could have cost him the race on a less forgiving circuit, had he done that at Monaco his front suspension would have been off the car.
Was it also not luck for him that Vettel retired and Hamilton wasnt allowed to cruise up behind him as he was brought in. Lets not forget his front wheel was almost taken off at the first bend by Alonso. I think he had a lot of luck today.
Oh, and did Hamilton not overtake Button on the track as well in one of the many moves he made during the race?
