Before or after qualifying?

[Hammer278]

After. I wonder why Button of all people...it should be Lewis or Alonso.

It was a good job that his body guard was driving and managed to get away. If Button had been at the wheel he would have not avoided the problem "because he was having difficulties with the balance of the car".

Apparently both Lewis and Jenson have got body guards and armoured cars this weekend, so it looks like it may have been an opportunistic approach from the gangs.

It can be a dangerous place,even Pele has been carjacked in Brazil.

I cant believe the brazilian authorities arent providing 'exceptional support' at these sort of events. This is very high profile stuff, and to have it soiled by some criminal would be terrible publicity for the whole country.

Hopefully they find the mugger and police does the ussual 'developing nation' police beat up.

And to think this country is hosting grand prixs, a world cup and the olympics in the coming years.

Nothing really even happened. They just happened to be there when a group of car jackers were doing their rounds.

Not as bad as BMW Sauber who had a car load of equipment stolen.

I can't believe you said this.

Ok, i just read an article on Autosport about it and i will admit, it was quite scary though he didnt really mention if there were any shots fired, however he did insist the car was bullet proof so im guessing that there were.

But i still think having thousands of dollars of equipment stolen from a hold up (where the mechanics could quite possibly have harmed) is worse than what happened to button. I mean thats what a bodyguard and stuff is for, so that you get away.

He mentioned that other F1 people had police escorts, i guess he must have been in a hurry or just didnt want the attention.

The Hero, you quite obviously are my arch nemesis the douchba- i mean villain.

[The_Stig_Money]

They heard about his Q time and thought he was a easy target! JK LOL

Glad he is OK

They were prepared by sending him out in a armored car
