He'll win it before the dirty, cheating, chopping pointy-chinned bastard will...

Yeah, I knee-jerked a Button pick last year at this time and look what happened!:D Thought I'd try it again. Although, Hulkenberg ended up on top today. Cosworth beats Ferrari! Despite all the garbage there are a few things going on that could make for a pretty interesting season. Hope everything stays between the white lines and out of the courts.

And this...I hear Willians had a 2.83 sec. pit stop...tire changes only this year, remember? Holy crap, who'll be the first to throw a wheel and be suspended for life!?

Wow. That compares well with the 3.0 second pit stops in the DTM. That is crazy fast.

Jacques only drove for a Ferrari customer team, duh.

The real question is will they get to go back to wearing shorts now that the nasty fuel business has been put to rest...? :laugh:

I'm convinced that's what kept Mrs. Odd watching races with me during that era. Every 20 minutes dozens of fit young guys (mostly) dashed out in snappy little uniforms with shorts and make quick work of the wheel changes. It was only a 3 second shot, but sometimes it seemed like she was getting that far away look in her eyes...:gomer:

Webber faster than Vettal. Petrov faster than Kubica; but the Renault is over a second slower than the Toro Rosso, with the Lotus and Virgin almost two seconds slower again.

1 Hamilton
15 Button :eek:

I do believe that is the largest intra-team gap.

In Button's defence, those two times were set on different days. Button did not run on the last day.

And it begins...

And it begins...

Is this the first time that a reigning world champion has become a clear number 2?

Geeez, I'm shocked, I never saw that one coming.
