tell you what, even if you dont like jenson button, you are gonna have to start!

drove a fantastic race, changed his tyres at the right time off his own back, then when everyone else was using thier tyres up he was looking after his and drove it home.

after seeing that and the "champions drive" last year in brazil, you have to say its gonna be 3 or 4 championships for him.

cracking race.

being pissy about your team is pointless for hamilton.

maybe if he had put it inside the top ten yesterday he might have had a better race?

he would do well to remember that no one is safe in f1.

Sounds like a great race.. Gutted I was commuting and had to miss it

repeats or i player mate? , not a race to be missed.

Repeated at 1pm on bbc, thats when im guna catch it.

I'm wondering how much of Hamilton's petulance was down to the Webber crash, his tyre issues, the police incident for doing doughnuts or the fact that Jenson did better on race day? He'll do well to sit back and relax a bit more as he does have a LOT of talent...

Just watched the highlights WOW. I should of woke up for this proper good.

Redbull unlucky again.

Go jenson button.

Hamilton isn't acting like a spoilt child.. if i was him i would be fuming too.. pushing for 3rd and the team call you in for tyres.. make up 1.5sec a lap on the ferraris to get on the back on them, pull a move and then webber takes you out..

I agree Jenson had a good race, but don't take away from what Lewis did today..

[MrBounce]

I wasn't saying Lewis didn't do well when he was racing - in fact he was awesome, but if he thought he was doing ok on his tyres, why didn't he tell the team "No, I'm happy with my tyres" It's the driver's call as much as the teams. Jenson called the race, Lewis didn't. He has the raw speed, but I'm not sure he has the all-round nous to be a multiple world champion.

lewis, cry baby 

Superb drive by Button, he is the real deal at mclaren

What a race! A million times better than Bahrain, but i'm wondering how much of that was due to the weather?? A great drive from Jenson, and what a gamble calling that 1st pit stop!

+1 I'd be pretty p!ssed off too, by pulling him into the pits it effectively undid all his hard working getting him to where he was! It was a bad call from the team and Hamilton was understandably frustrated by it.

To top it off having Webber plough into the back of you just as you line up the Ferrari..... I think most people would be mad 

Anybody else find it quite satisfying that Schuey isn't doing very well??
