Are you kidding...do you know how many cars he had to overtake just to get back up to terms with Button? Button probably had to deal with half the cars which Lewis did today. The strategy just made life difficult but things are so close I guess McLaren didn't have much room to play with.

Button was able to jump those cars as he had a pretty clear track ahead of him for a fair amount of the race due to being third and then second for race position.

Some good material for Racechick to use: :hehe:

"It's a dusty circuit so everyone waits a little bit and you only try to run with one set of tyres," Whitmarsh said. "We were just looking at general overall vehicle balance and just starting to do our setup programme which we'll really start in earnest this afternoon. Both drivers are reasonably happy with the balance, I think we need to work on traction and grip here but that's really why we've got the data from this morning and we can be ready this afternoon."

Whitmarsh admitted the main focus would be the tyres, as it had been this season, and admitted the differing styles between the two drivers meant it was a crucial factor in their respective performances.

"What we've got are very interesting dynamics in this team, and that is that Jenson is very experienced, super smart, great at using his tyres. In truth he's working and operating a team but he really wants to beat his team-mate. I think Lewis is learning as well, but there's no doubt this year has been about tyre pressures, tyre temperatures, really understanding how you get the best out of the tyre, how you get them up to temperature, how you really get the grip at both ends and then of course how you make the tyres last during a weekend."

You gotta admit, that last paragraph is quite...interesting. :eek:

Im just too angry with Whitmarsh to think straight now. If he's letting one driver practically run the team what chance does the other one have!!I knew something was amiss. Id better go and do some gardening, or go for a long run, or I might break my computer!!

At least Button isn't getting a blatant disadvantage with new parts like Kovalainen did. Didn't hear any complaints from certain quarters then :wink:

I'm sure whitmarsh meant his engineering team, and not the McLaren team......

With that said. I don't believe lewis is being treated any differently and I think he is kicking bottom this year. :clap::thumbup:

I know, despite his team mate running the team. Whitmarsh must be spitting nails.

AS far as I know theres no change on that front. If theres only one update ready, the driver leadng the championmship gets it. Im fine with that.

Always knew Alonso was good with numbers :P

Not sure why he's interested though.
