I swear I'm not going around LOOKING for these...but they are just everywhere!

Jenson Button - 8th:
"That was an interesting race. The lap to the grid was very slow, which hurt us, and my start wasn't great. I had no grip, so Turn One was a mess.

I must admit, I grinned when Jenson passed Lewis today. Har har har this thread needs a post like this.

It was a great moment when Jenson waved to Lewis while passing him...



Our car is garbage at the moment, but at least the new design is somehow gentle to the tires,
only Kimi and Jenson made it to a 3 pitstop race.
things can only get better now ...

Very very rare moment indeed...I think its the first time Button actually OVERTOOK Hamilton on track in dry conditions....it's definitely shampagne time for Button for that one.

Jenson Button is quite possibly one of the greatest drivers ever.

There, I said it.

He's all things to all men.

Women want to be with him, men want to be him.

True that.

[Hammer278]

I'm not surprised at all by Button being role model to people like andrew.

Maybe crawling around the circuit helps the tires...

At least Button is drivng a car going forwards in the race unlike Hamilton's Mercedes which seems to be stuck in fifth gear and going backwards very quickly!

[racechick]

Yeah not a pretty sight.. I mean the Mercs moving backwards. Still lets hope they sort out this pesky problem before Silverstone.
Button did well considering his starting point. It's a shame it was clouded slightly by the team orders.

What team order? Mr Perez was advised to not ruin his tyres in a battle with Button...

OK, yes it was a thinly veiled team order, but you can't blame McLaren, not worth risking a solid 8th/9th place finish letting them race with a handful of laps remaining!

[Hammer278]

Mercedes had their worst GP this year but the car wasn't a disaster as Hamilton made it look. Rosberg managed some good points and still finished the race in some sort of order...Hamilton had a Button-esque day which was surprising but I'm sure they can't go worse than that. Let's see if Mercedes can rectify the issue...the car is extremely quick, but they need to make it a lot more race fit.

Button has never had a car that delivers, maybe last year however they had practicality issues as well as pit stop issues.

[racechick]

never had a car that delivers? 2009?????
Last year they had Button going absent issues, and all resources finding him again issues. And the pit stop issues. And the reliability issues. And the strategy issues. Apart from that they could easily have won the championships. The car was fast and Lewis was on fire.

PS I'm a hardcore Lewis fan....so don't take me too seriously
