So what are the chances Button will get a penalty that'll impede this race result?

8, it built in excitement over the last 5-10 laps, but if I'm honest, I prefered China.

'King hell, I am literally breathless especially after Le Mans and this race.

It has been a fantastic race and my girlfriend and I was literally screaming at the television to egg Button on to pressure Vettel into the last lap.

How can this not be a 100% 10/10!?
Surely the red flad period isn't actually part of the race, as it was officially suspended.

And if you also can't give it a 10...you will never give a ten lol.

Grandpa. There wasn't a better driver on wet.

Jenson would have won without DRS. He pressured Vettel and he cracked. But it did make the passing a bit too easy. It needs more tweaking. But if that's the only downside we can find in a race, then you know it's been amazing.

Hardly I disagree with you but is way too optimistic to think Button would have passed Michael, the time he did, without DRS. It probably would have taken longer(if he would overtake at all) and Vettel wouldn't feel the pressure to crack.

obvious 10. First race of the season which wasn't spoiled by DRS.

Just to easy again to pass with DRS.

Yeah that running wide Vettel did was completely down to DRS :tumble:

FFS stop trying to ruin the best race in YEARS with whining about the DRS, it's here, get used to it or fuck off!

Without DRS Button wouldtn been in the Position to gain P1 and Vettel didnt had to get the Maximum out of his car because he wouldnt been under pressure :wave:

Im not trying to ruin it but to be honest it was again way too easy to pass with DRS.

Those are all arguments FOR DRS tbh, who wants a predictable winner?

I noticed the scrap between the Virgins and a HRT before Button went over the finish line. Was that Narain Karthikeyan holding off or fighting for 14th place?

phil1993 · PostPosted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 10:41 pm

Canada always delivers. Such a good race, imagine if we didn't waste 30 laps doing nothing and had Lewis in most of the race.

Don't think anything will happen. The incident with Alonso is a race-incident. Surely not Button's fault. I think it is Button fault with the Hamilton-incident. It's easy. When you change your line, you have to watch in the mirrors. But I don't think they will give a penalty for that now after this race.

Di Resta's penalty was really strange, btw.

without DRS we wouldn't have had so many epic races :thumbsup:

I'd argue that the racing we have seen this year has been far more down to the tyres than it has DRS.

schumi and rosberg even points^^

DEMENTOR · PostPosted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 10:42 pm

Overall, Button.
Schumi drove a great race also, Webber done well to keep the car on the road lol.
Koba didn't do too badly as well, staying in front of Massa for a while

phil1993 · PostPosted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 10:42 pm

Hopefully just a reprimand. Surely a time penalty would have come in the form of a drive through in the race?

stayed up till 7:30am to watch the end of this
