Senna was better this weekend

I think evil forces were at work to help Button achieve this.

Oh, I meant to the fairly boring race, some great wheel to wheel action, but not a lot going on really, not that many position changes.

And let's not forget McLarens new No. 2 star, Perez. He's looking like a quality signing.

Him and Button next year should take McLaren to the back of the grid..........

Is McLarens no.1 the guy that got the fastest lap? Besides, I thought McLaren didn't have a 1/2 driver set-up.

So now the fastest lap is the barometer to decide who's the better driver? The goal posts keep shifting for you don't they, when it comes to deciding who's by far the better driver at McLaren. The future No.1 got outqualified, outraced, and outpaced all in one race and you're still scrambling to defend the weaker of the 2.

Just like Merc is looking like a quality team?

How would you know what it would look like in 2013? Rosberg is just 50 points of McLarens No.1 in the standings...and everyone including Mercedes acknowledges it's been a crap year for them. Imagine a half decent season, Button better get ready to look stupid in 2013.

You're reading too much into it. I didn't think McLaren had a number 1 and 2 driver so saying their number 1 driver got it required clarifying.

Look at the Autosport cover this week.

What a complete twat he is.

Or you could post a pic for us.....

Edit: oh. You did.

How dare they write about Button!

British driver, leading a British team being written about in a British publication.

[f1boy]

I posted that as some where saying that Button isn't number one at McLaren.

Well he thinks he is, and if I were McLaren, I'd be worried about it.

So to get back on topic, i wasn't gonna bother getting up at 6am to watch the race today after recent races, and definitely am glad i didn't. I spent all day downloading the race so only just finished watching.

I've said it before and i'll say it again - this season is the biggest anticlimax ever, and what a massive shame that is after such an amazing first half a season. I cannot think of any other season that has ended up as disappointing as this in my entire life of watching F1.

Two real high points in this race were the monster 3-way car battles we saw, with Alonso/McLarens and the Williamses and someone else later on. Some entertaining driving there, and some brilliant stuff by those 3 world champions on the first lap.

But that just underlines how this season has sadly morphed into 2011 all over again - the odd awesome battle, but the same old stuff up front.

Rant time. I don't hate Vettel as a person, but man, he is the most boring bloody driver ever, in spite of his abilities and achievements. Qualify well, do a good couple of opening laps, then do nothing else of note during the race. So freaking boring. Still hasn't won from lower than third on the grid i believe. Even when Schumacher dominated it wasn't as bad is these Vettel domination periods - at least Schumi had that extra dimension where he could pull victories out against all odds, which was freaking admirable, unlike this monotonous ability to only be able to win easy (relatively speaking of course) races that Vettel is showing.

didn't see anyone talk about it but...

how about that five wheel change pit stop for Mclaren in 3.5 seconds?

That was cool!! Lewis was chuffed about that. I hid while it was happening , but enjoyed the replay.
