Button better than Hamilton? Are you kidding me?

Button can only win in changeable conditons

Superb race and well done Jenson.

Tinnie/Nut_Case .... they are both class drivers that are different in style and to emphatically state that one is better than the other overall is doing them a disservice.

On the BBC/Sky fiasco front, they have relented somewhat on the blatant suppression of the fan outcry and reopened comments to Ben Gallop's blog ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/sporteditors/2011/07/f1_coverage_to_be_shared_betwe.html ) which they had removed of the F1 Website front page and closed down last night when it hit over 6000 almost exclusively negative comments.

Hopefully, they have done this to provide answers and/or apologies (don't all laugh at once). I particularly hope they answer this one ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/sporteditors/2011/07/f1_coverage_to_be_shared_betwe.html?postId=109841930#comment_109841930

If anybody is feeling down about the new deal (which I guess you aren't seeing as nobody has posted on this thread for a couple of days) or if you just want to have a good laugh, you really must read this ...

and also, for F1 fans (if there are any left), I would recommend this video posted by Jake Humphrey "What it's like being an F1 presenter and producer" filmed at Singapore (and only available to UK viewers, sorry) it is a truly fascinating look behind the scenes.

Sounds great!.....

Gotta love his explaination of DRS!!!

LOL, it also makes your mouth water to think that Sky Sport viewers will be treated to such insightful analysis such as how the stars of the moment include Fernandez ! (@ about 3:10)

By the way, does anyone remember Sky's last outing on F1 (F1 Digital+)? ....




No I thought not

Oh my God, I never knew about this thread??!?

F1 is awesome, favourite driver is Kamui Kobayashi

How about a few suggestion for new theme tunes to replace "The Chain" in light of the new 'deal':



A few that I've heard already are:

Money - Pink Floyd
Money, Money, Money - Abba
Money For Nothing - Dire Straits
You Never Give Me Your Money - The Beatles
Every Day I Think About Money - Stereophonics

Any others?

What a video, I love F1 it's a thing of passion for some it's not the most exciting or intense sport but for other it's amazing when you see such quality in a sport, how your heart jumps when your favourite goes off or has a bad pit stop!

Being watching F1 properly for a few years now, and it's a shame to see it being taken over all for money!

AND LMFAOOO dave at your song selection

None of them will be quite as iconic as the chain

boo Murdoch

i predict a Mclaren 1-2 on Sunday Vettel on pole though

I'm feeling button for this weekend!

But what I love about F1 right now, we can't rule out 1 of 5/6 drivers going be a great race!

Ohh qualifying went alright

Button button button bad bad mistake thinking it was your cool lap but I got faith in him!

Redbull make it another polll position with Mclaren in second

Going be a right good session on the track tomorrow!

Hamilton
Vettel
Senna

Heard it here first. Anything can happen, don't trust the forecast.

COnsidering £10 on senna for top 3

What odds can you get on it Si?

125/1 for him to win lol

Ohh just found him at 200/1

----

top 3 finished

50/1 at Bet365 *Donate your money he funds stoke remember *

66/1 Bluesquare *apart of the company I work for*

And coral 66/1

So yeah there is definatly a few £ to be made in that bet

Also button 2/1 finish in top 3 that might be worth a cheeky £10 aswell just double your money

Si, what are the odds on the BBC mentioning the elephant in the room tomorrow?

poor button :(
