Please, please change the tune once in a while.
Eh? This is the first time I have ever made such suggestion. Mainly because it's the only time I've really seen the need. :sBut anyway, can't beat me? I'll shut up. I'm quite happy to sit back and let reality form history...
Too right Matty: Reality and History .. Proof positive for all to see now.
Yer man in eleventh on the grid... conspiracy too right ... I bet he's well pleased to be off to the team with the three pointed star from such a lowly place on the grid not befitting a man of his God like talents.
Good riddance I say ......

Regarding Button´s 11th place, I think he did not have speed, Lewis has been blocking his tyres in the same corners too, while that yellow flag was because of car that hasn`t been an obstacle to anybody(it was on the opposite side), so Whitmarsh is just boosting Button`s morale.
He had the speed, but he made a mistake in Q2 and slowed for the yellows. A bit like last week but in reverse. He had decent times in the practice sessions, just a bit of a mistake on first run, and bad luck on the second. No need for any drama on the issue to be honest, as I reckons he can still get decent points from there.hotmelt said:

I don't think he was ever going to challenge for pole, but he would have snuck into q3. MGJohn said:

Overall though very up and down pace all weekend for LH - big swings in pace difference, which is not to his usual form. The last lap in Q3 was by far his best all weekend. Maybe he just pulled it out?

Mercedes fined €10,000 for that unsafe release in Q3
Could be an interesting race tomorrow. I expect a feisty Lewis at the start
I think we can expect a feisty Webber, Vettel, Lewis, Alonso, Kimi, Massa, and a precarious Grosjean. I'm hoping Button gets a decent start like last week to make up a few places. Could be an interesting race tomorrow. I expect a feisty Lewis at the start
I think DC took on a bit more presenters stuff today, maybe to take on a bigger role next year post-Jake. Probably not as the lead, more of a 50/50 with someone else. Eddie doesn't do the highlights races and is there more for the insider stuff like Hamilton going to Mercedes, and for making an arse of himself, intentional or not

And Button will have a new set of tyres and the option to start on his preferred compound.
No idea which way he will go on that. Go for a stop less than the guys ahead, or just go for a soft-super-super option? Who knows. Either way, I quite like watching front end drivers from crap positions. I remember Spa last year, and he did alright from 13th on the grid. Will be interesting, anyway. Can't help but think Webber will be aggressive from the get go. LH will have an eye on Fred, and Vettel will be squeezing either LH or Webber. Gonna be a good start either way. I wonder if Kimi can surprise someone and nick a few places at the start as the others are concerned with each other?

If I were JB it's a no brainer, start on the primes and wait for the others to stop.
They are predicting a 1 stop race, so prime, then option (with a lighter fuel load).
1 stop? Well, that really leaves little option but to go on primes, go as long as you can, and then blast it on the options. They are predicting a 1 stop race, so prime, then option (with a lighter fuel load).

Just hope he gets through the first corner cleanly.
