Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Good grief. I've given up watching F1 'cos nothing interesting ever happens, and look what I missed.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Well I missed most of the accidents due to yet more adverts.
But during the first hour of non racing there was one advert (poss 2)

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Just goes to show what a really good driver JB is when car performance in terms of sheer speed is factored out by poor track conditions.
Well done JB, great drive and lets hope for many more.

And when the three best drivers all exit the race early!
I've never head any doubt the Button is a fast and competant driver, what he's not is a racer, but he pulled it out the bag yesterday and all kudos to hum...a deserved win, a good strategy and a good drive.
In fact it was a very exciting race all round.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Kubica has been disqualified for having an underweight car so MS gets the final point
he had bald tires with no thread at all and he should have been disqualified for dangerous driving with De la Rosa and Hiedfeld but then it is MS so can't expectt he FIA to take any action against him

That's really unfair, and a little ignorant IMO. Jenson has been consistently let down by Honda this season. For once, they got their tactics right. Jenson is a superb driver, who drove a blinding race yesterday. He was knocking seconds off Alonsos lead and would have caught him anyway, even if he hadn't gone off.
The telemtry data in F1 proves that Jenson is the smoothest, faultless driver in F1. And yesterday he proved it

JB is a great driver who has been let down by very bad cars and the nature of Fortmula one these days.. you don't need a good driver just a good designer.. he's one of the smoothest drivers out there as he showed yesterday and at Spa a few years ago when he was on inters and when everyone else went onto them they couldn't get near his times
i think Jenson was one of the few drivers out there yesterday that didn't have any pff track moments and he made it look like a dry race from the start whereas even MS had a few slides and moments

Exactly. JB's drive was spotless, perfect and faultless. The conditions yesterday really shows the skill of the drivers, rather than just how good the car is.

Re: Formula 1 2006 Season
Id say Schuey was still one of the best drivers out there. I'd have loved to see the others do as well as he did with the same state tyres.

Sure, Shuey is a fabulous driver, you can't deny it. But recently, he's been an appalling bad sportsman (or cheat, even). He should've let Heidfeld past way before he did, he screwed up qualifying times for others at Monaco, the man's a law unto himself. He needs to retire after this season IMO.

Isn't part of being a good driver knowing when to change tyres or look after the ones you've got ? Not just rely on the pit crew to decide it all for you ??

errmmm the driver is not the whole package so its not just Button that made the win, the car, the team and the driver make the package. After 113 attempts if he was any good he would have been poached by a decent team and therefore would have had a good team and equipment.
The telemetry shows he's the smoothest and faultless driver!!! Rubbish, where has this been published? Being the smoothest doesnt mean your the fastest if your not using the equipment to its max. Yes two drivers in the same car driving to the max would show the smoothest to be fastest but it has to be at the max.

The conditions showed the drivers skills in a particular condition and nothing else
