I always said the McLaren was a pretty decent car, but with that driver line-up? :confused: puuuh :rolleyes:


I can understand Button's 14th, but what is wrong with Perez getting into Q3? He beat Button by 6 tenths of a second. Even Hamilton himself rarely had a bigger gap over Button.

Perez was never a great qualifier. If he beats Button, it really says a lot about the two driver. I have said before - that McLaren looks worse than what it really is because of the drivers.

It would be a shame if Massa and Guittirrez don't get one. They were driving around like nobody else is out on the race. They did not even bother to check or move out of the way. Absolute shoddy driving.


Gutierrez, it's not so difficult. GutiƩrrez if you like perfection :)

If he beats Button, he has done well. Button is not great in qualifying, but he is not Ide either, who you should beat by at least 2 seconds to actually look good. I thought Perez had a stunning lap in Q2.

What was the average gap between Hamilton and Button in qualifying? I don't think it was really more than 2-3 tenths on average. So Button is still pretty fast, even if not lightning fast.

We have entered a dangerous territory with the driver blaming. People think they are so bad that they can't see even the good things and when they are doing well. Talk about overdramatizing. We have seen it before. For example the Toyota drivers were blamed for all the bad things that happened.

Can Mercedes pull it off? The answer is: No.

Thanks for that, I won't bother watching now.
