I agree. I like Jenson and all, but he really needs to come up with something other than 'the balance changed'.

 

As a huge Jenson fan, I am sadly inclined to agree that he won't be at McLaren next year - I think even he knows that.

 

Thing is which superstar driver does Honda demand the team sign - after an annus horrilibus can't see Vettel being tempted to Woking.  Also where does Button go? Not out of F1 I hope.

Hamilton looks set to start from the pitlane by the way, because Mercedes is reverting back to his old brakes, which is a breach of parc fermé rules.

 

Last I heard Mercedes had approached the FIA and requested the change under safety grounds, which would mean a grid start rather than pit lane. I don't know if it was granted.

Apologies to all for being OT, but a quick answer - Alonso. Ferrari are stagnating. Honda and McLaren might be magic, might be crap. It's a risk, but at this stage of Alonsos career I think he needs to take one.

I have been pondering JBs future and I don't know.

Back OT, I'll mostly be cheering the Williams guys on tomorrow. I'm also expecting something special from Lewis. And there's a small part of me that would like to see Seb back on the podium in Germany too. Looking forward to the race,

Jenson Button isn't a "superstar", he's a pretty good midfielder who signed with the right team at the right time on five occasions and lucked into a championship after 10 years of mediocrity, which is about 11 years more than most F1-worthy drivers get. He's been a waste of a seat for 5 years, so thank God he has that British flag next to his name or else someone might have criticized him.

I miss this Kimi.

 

The talent´s there. The front end of the Ferrari isn't.

However Ferrari will probably be still around, when Kimi is getting too old.

Nico gets another lucky break then with Lewis having that brake issue in qualifying that sent him into the barrier. Will be interesting to see how far Lewis can make his way up the field.

You think he's had no criticism?  

 

Stick to Indycar/Nascar, more your level I think.
