Jenson must be licking his chops going into this meeting.

There's a very good chance that Jenson "secures" his first Pole since, what, Monaco, 2009 in a Brawn?

All JB needs is to do his job in Q3 (i.e. no "mistakes") and he's virtually guaranteed to start the Chinese GP from P1. I don't think an error free Q3 lap from either of the Mercedes GP boys is likely to prevent that. I also don't think a banzai Q3 lap from either Vettel or Webber is likely to prevent it either. Kimi? A slender, out-side chance...but not a realistic one. Nope!

So, Jenson must be licking his chops knowing that the other McLaren is likely to be separated by some very fast cars and drivers with genuine front-running race pace (namely VET / WEB, RAI / GRO) and he may also have SCH and/or ROS "running interference" for him (while their tyres last).

He'll want to "make hay whilst the sun is shining", so to speak.

You never know, Hamilton might even get 'hit' by Grosjean while tussling for 4th or 5th or 6th through the first series of bends.

The best case scenario for Jenson is a victory from "Pole" with, especially, Hamilton non-scoring. Even if Hamilton finishes 2nd, Button comes out of China leading the WDC again.

It's JB's race - and WDC standings leadership - to lose, frankly. After the howler he had at Malaysia, he'll need to convert this advantage because otherwise it's going to get very tight. Here is a chance to be Whitmarsh's main man at a time of the year when Hamilton's management will be looking at negotiating a contract.

The other advantage Button will have is that - being the highest placed MP4-27 on the grid - he'll have 'first call' to the pits (unless Hamilton wierdly 'jumps' him in the first stint) and he'll have McLaren's pitwall's complete focus in their effort to beat RBR, Lotus and Alonso in the Grand Prix.

Button fans should be licking their chops at the prospects...and hoping he doesn't cock it up!

why would jenson winning make him whitmarsh's main man?so if lewis was to win the 3RD race of the season he'll become whitmarsh main man?
anyway jenson is already whitmarsh's favourate.
but we have only had 2 races.if button wins and lewis comes second,button will only be 2 points ahead.

You already have your answer in your post.

But having 2 Grand Prix wins for Jenson and 0 for Hamilton would make Whitmarsh's job easier, assuming Button is his "favourite".

Right this moment, Button will be eyeing 25 points. Hamilton will be in damage-limitation mode.

You say that Lewis may only come out 2 points behind...but he could just as easily come out 20 points behind. Who is to say Grosjean won't take Hamilton out? It's going to be a crowded, hungry and competitive pack from the 2nd on the grid down to 9th - and in the middle of that is where Hamilton will be starting.

Happy days for Jenson!

Oh come on, his sensationalism and English isn't that bad...



It looks like Jenson has been handed a big advantage by having Lewis dropped several cars behind him this weekend - assuming all goes well for Jenson during Saturday, but then Jenson has managed to end up in front of Lewis on his own merit once already this season and strategy could have seen him beat Lewis at Sepang too were it not for his collision, so Button barely seems to need any help from the rules.

It is a strange point in Jenson's career, in which most acknowledge him as a top-tier driver now but also many still seem to think he'll lose to his team mate in a straight fight. A great driver is the sum of many skills abilities and traits, not just qualifying pace - people need to consider this when judging the two McLaren drivers.

Jenson's just sitting down - a nice cloth serviette on his lap, knife and fork in hand - and is ready to tear into a nice, juicy, succulent morsel of the lamb that's the 5-spot grid penalty to his primary opponent in this year's championship.

Jarno Trulli is providing the Cabernet Sauvignon from his Vineyard! Hehe ;)

Alternatively, and since they're in Shanghai:

Jenson's just sitting down - a nice silk dinner napkin on his lap, chop-sticks in hand - and is ready to bite into a some nice, diced, stir-fried bar-b-qued pork chops...Big glass of Tsin Tao at the ready to wash down what is the 5-spot grid penalty to his main opponent in the 2012 WDC.



Golden opportunity for JB. Hopefully he won't choke on what's been cooked up for him. LOL

Edited by RayInTorontoCanada, 12 April 2012 - 19:30.

[RayInTorontoCanada]

Um, I'm actually slightly disappointed in Jenson. He ought to have put that car ahead of Kimi's E20 and Koba-san's C31, given what Lewis was able to do with that MP4-27.

Fine, Rosberg put in an absolutely devastating lap earlier in the session in a car that's obviously fastest over a single lap on a permanent circuit with a very long straight. But JB really ought to be starting this race with more real estate between himself and his primary opponent in the title (Hamilton).

Shame, really. Hopefully he won't regret his Q3 effort come the end of the Grand Prix tomorrow!

[KavB]

It was a big chance to claw back the points lost in Malaysia. He still has a good chance for tomorrow but he has made it difficult for himself.

He could be behind Hamilton or Webber in the first turn. The top 4 guys combined have 25 points on the table so far. They are kinda non issue ATM.

Would agree but JB wasn't "on it" over s single lap for a whole weekend. On the other hand, he was really impressive on long runs. Shall see!

[Lights]

While I am disappointed, I've seen him bounce back from worse qualifications than this. However as usual I still fear the worst and I expect a dreadful first lap in which everything will seem ruined.

[RayInTorontoCanada]

It was good to see JB get back P3 right away coming out of T1 on the first lap.

I do think that he needs to be "on it" in 1 lap qualifying more consistently.

With Mercedes, RBR, Lotus and Sauber playing themselves in when it comes to Q3 and with the grid being so bunched up - as was the case in Q2 yesterday - Jenson may find himself 2 or 3 or 4 cars behind Lewis on the starting grid more often than not.

Being 2 or 3 tenths off Lewis in Q3 could make a huge difference in terms of Track Position and, thus, this year's World Championship.

Fun times ahead for the two McLaren boys!

At least it seems that JB is truly "on it" on the race day this season, so there is not much left to sort out - usual 2 tenth on hot lap. Perhabs he should try a bit more qualy-oriented set-ups.

Anyway, it was a good race where Jenson seemed to be really "racie" and agressive. Reminds me of his Honda' 04-06 days.

Jenson's quali perfromance this weekend had alot to do with tyre temperatures.

[tkulla]

I'm not concerned by qualifying at all. This weekend the problem was cooler than expected temperatures, and a sudden drop in temp before he did his one and only Q3 run. I'm sure the boys in Woking are already working on what to do in these circumstances in the future.

I expected the same from the boys in Brackley after Silverstone'09 but race after race Jenson kept struggling in cool conditions. It's not something to just fix. He will keep struggling whenever a session like this occurs and he just has to make the best of it. I wasn't too worried yesterday before the race and gladly he proved me right.

Same problem, very different circumstances. Brawn was running on a shoestring budget and couldn't afford to engineer a fix. Jenson just had to live with it and do what he could with setup. McLaren can and will do whatever it takes to eliminate the problem, which is a big reason Jenson made the switch.

Nice Jenson interview

http://sportinglife....0th-paragraphs-

"But I definitely have days when I'm an arse, a side of my character I don't show to you guys (the media).
"But I'm not as relaxed as people may think. Maybe it's just the perception from the outside.
"Even when you get the lows you have to stay strong and try and be as positive as you can."

...

That is why Button surrounds himself with people who can pick him up when times are tough, but also bring him back down to earth on occasions when he is appearing big headed.
"Even two of my friends who come to a lot of races, straight away will say if something is wrong.

"I remember taking pole in Montreal (Canadian Grand Prix) in 2005, but I crashed when I was third.
"When I went back to the paddock one of my friends, Richie, was there having a beer, which really annoyed me.
"I said to him 'You're never coming again. Did you not see what happened?', to which he replied 'Well, it's not my fault you were crap'.

"This was straight after the race, and he was right, so having people putting you in your place and who are not afraid to say what they think is really important.

Good point. However (and perhaps I should have already mentioned this in my previous post), McLaren should already be aware of this for quite some time. In Korea'10 he had similar tyre heating issues, and I'm quite sure there have been more weekends where this was the case. I wish they could do something for him about it, but I'm not really expecting anything soon.

[RayInTorontoCanada]

Jenson's quali perfromance this weekend had alot to do with tyre temperatures.

No doubt there is some truth in that but what I simply can't understand is why Kobayashi blitzed his only Q3 lap which, by the way, came towards the end of the 10m session.

One would then argue that the Sauber is amazing over 1 lap in cooling conditions but then how does that explain Perez' lap?

No I think Jenson is just genuinely 1 to 2 tenths off Hamilton and, in my opinion, Hamilton would still - 8 times out of 10 - have put up a faster lap than Jenson had they gone out at the same time, especially if Hamilton didn't have to "play defense" as a result of the grid penalty.

I'm also of the opinion that his lack of 1 lap qually pace made Rosberg's job easier.

Had JB started 3th (i.e. put up 4th fastest time), he might have jumped Schumacher and worried Rosberg. As it was, Rosberg was under no pressure and was given the luxury of keeping his tyres in the "sweet spot".

No, Rosberg dominated only because there wasn't a McLaren directly behind him making him sweat. Had Lewis not has his grid penalty, the structure of that GP would have been entirely different.

Yes, JB took 18 points...but he can't count on Lewis having all those problems in perpetuity.

I'm of the opinion that this doesn't make any sense at all. You magically expect Jenson to have better pace in 2nd place than in 3rd place. Where do you even base this on?

Truth is, he was not quicker than Schumacher, he tried to get in his DRS zone but failed until lap 9, and once there he couldn't make any impression either and actually lost that privilege a lap later.

When Button pitted he was almost 2 seconds behind Schumacher.

But sure, Rosberg, who was 0,5 second a lap quicker than Schumacher, yeah Button would have worried him.

BTW, when and why did Jenson change his usual helmet livery? I mean the letters "JB" in 2011-12 have different shape, which I find a bit less.. stylish.

The point is he had struggled with tyre temperature all weekend and didn't get to show his true pace in quali simple as that, next week that shouldn't be a problem.

Problem is, there's always a trade-off. Look at Sauber, they got Koby's setup just right for the cool quali, and in the race he had to 3 stop and wasn't very fast.

Getting the car into the sweet spot for quali and race is somewhat rare.

Seeing how peculiar the Pirelli's working ranges are this season, I'm actually surprised Jenson has done as well as he has so far, in weekends with cold temperatures or rain. We've yet to visit a track in warm conditions - that's going to be interesting.

I think his perfromance in the race in china was brilliant considering the temperature, he was still having some issues (obviously not as bad as quali) in the race but still had great pace.
I think he has a very strong chance of a win next week.
And hopefully he can just sqeeze a bit more out of the car and get a pole which would help him on race day.

the "font" changed in 2010, you are correct, but the ichiban version is new for 2012 AFAIK

[Lights]

Ah, I was way off there then. Can't believe he already changed to this font such a long time ago. I think the new font is much more 'sportive' or how to say, cannot really find the right word for it, while still keeping the original idea of his helmet. I wouldn't like him to lose the initials on it, or change the British colors (although I could live with Silverstone helmets or the Brawn one, they seemed to make sense).

From my memory he also used a white helmet with Japanese writing in Monaco last year because of the disaster, and in Japan it had written ichiban on it.
