So it is a fuel rig problem for Ferrari?? They always reply with either a hydraulic or eletronic problems on everything. Either way, pretty dumb mistake and cost Felipe 2 spots.

"..despite the fact that he should be pleased to be in F1.."

What a shocking comment is that Phil. He should pray Ross Brawn to hire him and sit in his seat and do what he's told to do... Is that the price Barichello paid for to have a race seat? Why? He's been quick all weekend, he could have won the GP easily if they sticked to plan, not to mention Button used his set-up. He's not a puppet or child.

BUT STOP accuse Brawn to want to make Button champion.

It's Barrichello that accept to work all a week-end (for setup and race) for Button.

If Rubens has remember his Ferrari years, he could rebel against his team but he accept that situation

hmm, true. But his sullen face was not one of a driver who was off to IndyCar 2 months ago...

Well Massa was the heaviest of the front runners and qualified on the 2nd row. that is a massive improvement in terms of development :roll::

Well, if you have one team from England and one English drive with one good car, you go work for this drive.

Brawn show this for all the world today: the 1st drive of team is Jenson Button.

And Ross Brawn cannot fire now Barrichello if he rebels because it will be very bad for BrawnGP sponsors.

David: Would you expect the rate of upgrades to be reduced with the testing ban?
Adrian: Around ten to four I think

phil1993 - And again your rating is a bulls**.

I can't understand why you hate Kimi so much. He did a great start from 16th to 10th without KERS. Then he had a great battle with Heidfeld.

Hamilton, who has done almost nothing today (except destroying his own tires), has got of course more points from you. You are such a fanboy.... :lol:

On your place I would have stop to writing such rating, because it isn't objective in any way.

I only gave Kimi what I gave him because he didn't finish. Same for non-finishers. Hamilton managed his tyres and was composed. It wasn't great, but 5 is a fair reflection. Had Kimi finished it would probs have been 6 or 7
