If his time was on the same tyres as others around him where did the pace go for Q3?

Not sure what everyone was on in q2. In q3 he only did one run and still nearly beat Button.

Strictly hypothetical bud... here's a question because I've yet to hear any McLaren fan actually say it. Do you think McLaren made a mistake letting Lewis walk?

If Lewis was 8 tenths ahead of Button today... what if he would have been able to do the same thing with the Mercedes. What if Lewis is able to get that same time gap when he's their driver next year?

I think belittling Mercedes will come back and bite a lot of people in the @ss long run, maybe even nip them in the @ss short run as well. It remains to be seen, but apparently all McLaren fans have already made up their mind.

Wait and see how Perez goes before making any true predictions. And belittling Mercedes? I think the constant McLaren belittling will bite Lewis fans in all honesty.

I said it before, but some might not have read it. Rosberg in a car supposedly miles apart from McLaren has 1 win to Jensons 2, and is closer to Jenson (WC table) than Jenson should rightfully be to Lewis based on performance this year.
If Lewis is 0.5 - 0.8 quciker than Button without the team swapping wings etc one would have to be a fool to completely right off the Mercedes combo of Nico and Lewis (assuming the car stays the same or even improves)

could be lots of eggy faces come Adelaide

So you've already given up on Mclarens 'Snr Driver' and putting your faith into a driver who's 16 points ahead of another who doesn't have a drive in 2013. Things are looking up for 2013.

You mean Melbourne right?

[f1boy]

McLaren don't want to win a championship these days by the look of it. That's why they would rather have Button as number one and not Lewis i.e their fastest driver.

I think there is something wrong with Whitmatrsh and co? You back your fastest driver and make them the priority if you want to win championships.

yeah Aus, whatever

could probably cram the entire population in 1 city, dont know why they bother having more than 1

He was talking about Keeping Lewis instead of Perez... Buttons gap today isn't this way every race.

But what do you Lewis sooks sorry fans care about McLaren next year? I thought Mercs going to build a title winning monster....

We naturally care about seeing Lewis and Merc throw pies into McLaren's faces for actually treating a 2nd rate driver who fails to find grip every odd weekend...as Lewis' senior.

Lewis at Merc wouldnt need a monster, just a top 3 car that isnt run by the the staff of Disneyland, and a team boss who is happily married

You're a bright spark.

Agree Hammer. Button needs to get a grip and realise that he isn't that good.

Button thinks because he won an easy championship, somehow now he's a team leader and top driver on par with Alonso, Lewis and Kimi.

He's deluded and next year will find him out for what he is imo. Lewis is worth 10 Buttons, as McLaren are about to find out.
