Big shame for Button. Obviously it's not all about the car..Button wasn't doing so great in qualifying and in the first of the race...but he pulled back some spots and his car fails.

Button an over rated bellend who doesn't even deserve to be in a McLaren. Pussy in qualifying, pussy when it comes to over taking in the dry and only half decent in the wet.

Hydrolics problem forced him to retire.Danny wrote:So what happened to him today?
He wasn't going anywhere anyway, spent half of his race behind Rosberg I think it was. He said he could have got 4th but what aload of bollocks that was.

Well 7th would have been better than retiring.
2 races in a row he's ended up with fuck all.

You lot are wayyy too harsh on Button.
He's the cleanest driver out on the circuit, best at looking after his tyres and smoothest round corners.
He had a bad start yeah but to expect him to overtake Petrov easily is naive. Petrov's a good driver in a car that has great drive so it was always going to hard to pass and the same goes for Rosberg. He actually managed to pass Rosberg pretty easily and early but was unlucky that he had to retire with a hydraulics problem almost immediately after.

So he's basically the Formula 1 version of Arsenal. Arsenal look the best in the PL, but get fuck all out of it.Ben wrote:You lot are wayyy too harsh on Button.

I als reckon Vettel is better with his tyres, it's either that or the Red Bull is really good with tyres. Button has been good with his tyres wherever he has been but his driving style isn't exactly a title winning one despite him doing so.

yeah vettel is the master with tyres
his rear brake problem is really fuck him in this race.his exit speeds was terrible could not overtake massa because the car was to unstable
i think button is a nice smooth driver,but this does not mean he is greater then others. webber is not smoove or clean driver especially into corners but his agrressive style makes up for this lost time especially on qualifying even when he misses apex
you need a balancee
for button well i wonder what mcclaren will do with him, he is routinely miss and hit in qualifying and his race pace is even more random. hes always been solid driver in wet and good driver in changeable condition but his dry racing is just to passive. he is probably happy enough that he at least was a world champion albeit the luckiest world champion in f1 history

F1 to Sky Sports.
If they don't take Martin Brundle I'll be so pissed
BBC TV and Sky Sports have been awarded the live rights to Formula One between 2012 and 2018.
The move will bring increased choice, innovation and breadth of coverage to UK and Irish motor racing fans.
The two leading UK sports broadcasters will offer fans unparalleled live High Definition coverage of every race of the season.

Think Sky have all practice & qualifying (bar the BBC 10)
Loved the BBC set up
Not the biggest fan of Jake Humphrey but I've gotten used to him. DC and Eddie Jordan are great and Brundle is god

The new proposed 2012 Calender:
Proposed calendar
18 March Australian GP
25 March Malaysian GP
8 April Chinese GP
22 April Indian GP
13 May Spanish GP
27 May Monaco GP
10 June Canada GP
24 June European GP
8 July British GP
22 July German GP
29 July Hungarian GP
2 September Belgian GP
9 September Italian GP
23 September Singapore GP
7 October Japanese GP
14 October Korean GP
28 October Abu Dhabi GP
4 November Bahrain GP
18 November US GP
25 November Brazilian GP
The updated schedule sees the season reduced to 20 races with the Turkish GP axed.
In other changes to this year's schedule, the Bahrain GP (which was cancelled this year due to political unrest) moves to November 4 meaning that Australia will once again get the season underway.
While the US GP was originally slated to make it's return in June after the Canadian GP, it has now been pushed back to mid-November due to concerns over the sweltering heat during the American summer.
The traditional summer break has also been extended to five weeks with no race taking place in August.
There will be five back-to-back races: Australia and Malaysia, Belgium and Italy, Japan and Korea, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi, and the United States and Brazil.
However, Formula One Teams' Association chairman and McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has confirmed that the schedule will once again be tweaked. "The calendar is tough," said Whitmarsh. "But I understand it's going to change again, so until you have the final one there is no point complaining about the provisional one," he added.
Not a fan of the 5 week break, It's going to make August even more boring now with no footy or racing

I was just about to mention Spa and Monza 
I LOVE watching them races, both tracks are just incredible.
5 week break and no football or F1, fuck that!
I think I might book a 2 week holiday which can shorten it down to 3 weeks

The race at the weekend was probably the best yet, with more than one person challenging Vettel for the win. It's a shame he's all but wrapped up the title though...

Was the best Start of a race imo. Dunno why, I loves Monaco this year. China was a good one also (after all what Lewis done)
I am biased also cos Button done well at Montreal but he's an over rated cunt.

Almost all the races have been quality this season. I'm loving the tyres, DRS and KERS now. Tyres especially, it's not all about the driver as much, strategists (sp:lol:) aswell play a huge part, and even they don't know with the track temperatures etc..
Guest- Guest
i agree i just think drs should be tweak a little like i want to see overtake toward end of straight or actually on corners....not at beginning or midway of the straights....drs is like overpowered
or even make drs open for everywhere....fduct was bad because mclaren was only team that use it but if every team has the same advantage then it is cool.
is just boring at how the sport is being deskilled with this environmental focus. which is contradictory to when u consider todt wants the kers system to be permanent yet it is the most poisonous and dangerous part of the car and could kill engineers who work on it

Why do they have a break at this time of the season? It seems so pointless and the season had been building up.
Red Bull were suddenly starting to lose their spell of dominance, but they've now got a few weeks to find what was going wrong and fix it. When the drivers return, Vettel will probably dominate again.

The breaks to give the teams time to put new updates on their cars e.t.c. They've had half a season to find out where they are falling behind so now when they come back it usually closes the pack a bit and hopefully Mclaren can pull something out of the bag to stop the Red Bulls.
