Button shouldn't bother speaking to the press, he should just record one of his interviews and send the tape around instead, it's the same story each week

To be fair, I'm not sure what else he can say as it's the same problem and question each week. Maybe He should just say something like "got my cock stuck under the throttle pedal again" and walk off :-)

Yes, there is something really deficient within the car at the moment. Can't just be aero surely?Wrong again Ron.

The car appears to be another McLaren dog. I'm sure Ron thought his return and getting rid of Whitmarsh would turn things around.
Wrong again Ron.
I would have thought the reality is Ron will not have had that much input into this years car (or the choice of people hired to design/make it anyway). So he probably shouldn't take the blame. However he was so quick to take the credit for the good first race and boast about the 1 second gap they were going to close that I think he should take the blame. Wrong again Ron.
The man is a dick.

If I catch the results before I intend to it's my own fault. We all know the results will be everywhere within seconds after the race. It's not good from BBC I agree but we at least another will learn after today

Wrong again Ron.
To be fair the car has been developed under Whitmarsh has it not ? Ron only took over in January/FebruaryWrong again Ron.
I think this whole thing with the Fallows chap is a sign that they've realised their technical expertise isn't as strong as other teams and are seeking to improve it, RD said earlier that they've been taking on quite a few people recently. This started under Whitmarsh to be fair.
Looks like this year will end up being a bit of a write off and they'll get something in place with the Honda engine for next year.

It doesn't matter, as long as he keeps his head and waits for things to come his way. Meanwhile...
Nico 79 pts
Lewis 75 pts
I think today was a better result for Nico than it was for Lewis, in some ways.
the fact remains that rosberg has not beaten hamilton this year. he's only ahead by virtue of one mechanical failure. why do you believe more of these are likely for hamilton? and why are they more likely for hamilton than for rosberg?Nico 79 pts
Lewis 75 pts
I think today was a better result for Nico than it was for Lewis, in some ways.

Agreed Stu R.
His composure at the post race interview today indicate that "Has Lewis 'broken' Nico" mullarkey is mainly in the minds of the wishful thinkers. He had to work harder than Lewis Hamilton who when all considered, had a nice comfy solo run out in the car on a Sunday .... Good eh. Mercs still 1-2 though. Team and all win which is the main thing ... for the team.
on the other hand, in the less transparently public pre-podium room. nico was extremely terse with the mercedes team manger, basically just grunting in reply to "good job today especially with your problems" and "very strong pace at the end"... so, perhaps not.His composure at the post race interview today indicate that "Has Lewis 'broken' Nico" mullarkey is mainly in the minds of the wishful thinkers.

You appear very determined to see personnel problems where they may not exist. Rosberg had data communication problems with the car. That would annoy any driver and upset race plans. Despite that, he still finished two places ahead of his start grid position. YerMan Hamilton did not improve his start position... FACT ... those are the stats. ... which can be made to ... you know the rest ....

The BBC news organisation is designed to bring facts and information to the public in a timely manner, not to pander to people too tight to follow F1 live. If yu really don't want to know the results until its replayed hours later thats your problem not the BBCs.Unless you subject yourself to a complete media blackout between the live and recorded race you're usually f
