Talking of Button, those who predicted Hamilton would destroy him are now looking a bit silly. Button has outqualified Hamilton 3 to 1 and has scored more points than him as well.

To be fair to Mclaren, they've made klife difficult for both drivers and Hamilton has not had the rub of the green, whilst Button has had some lucky breaks. Yes this sport does reward teh lucky. But i think Hamilton has been the better racer in the last 3 races, but hasn't been rewarded for his efforts

Whislt Button has walked in and made himself at home. Getting on with things and not antaogonising Lewis. He's certainly not been crushed as soeminthe media predicted, though i would like to point out that i said it was a good move and Lewis wasn't going to take him apart. I didn't thing Brawn woul dbe all that this year and being Mickeys team mate was going to be worse than Lewis's team mate.

Still early days and the luck has been with Button, Lewis has been the more exciting driver for me so far. Softly softle catchy moneky is never as fun as balls out driving.

Rain tomorrow has to favour Vettel though. It holds no fear for him and he won here last year in the wet. However, if McLaren have added a few turns of extra wing with an eye on the rain tomorrow, we could be in for some fun.

Am I the only one who is starting to develop a real dislike of the Red Bull team.

I think it may be down to the fact they are just a corporate team with no history in the sport and I think having Webber in the team doesn't help either.

I really disliked them at first for that reason, thought it may be a case of how can we spend our advertising budget, but they seem like a serious team. They've certainly gone about it better than most manufacturers have recently and are building up some history in the sport. It's Mateschitz owning STR as well that I'm not keen on, especially as the divide doesn't seem clear cut, I had to look up who the team principal is and I can't recall ever seeing him interviewed.

Hamilton is clearly the quicker. He overtook Button at Melbourne for position remember. The only argument against is looking after tyres, but Hamilton's not really had a problem with that despite spending most of the time fighting in the draft of a leading car. He's not "destroying" Button though, probably similar to the gap between Alonso and Massa.

Hamilton is not clearly the quicker by any measure. Button has outqualified him and outscored him this year, and Button pitted for new tyres in Melbourne shortly after that overtake since his tyres clearly weren't working for him.
