Guess which one of the McLaren drivers was working his tyres too hard, ruining them and bringing them back to the pits with little grip left, whilst the other was perfectly managing his tyres, adapting his driving style to suit the degredation.

Yup, according to Bridgestone, Jenson Button is being too hard on his tyres and Lewis has them under control.

Interesting
i tought its the oposite...., wow really surprised... turkey 07, hungary 08 he destroyed them, really surprised that its not lewis
Turkey 09 he did 1 stop, and no problem with the tyres, so he definately changed his style IMO

That shows how talented he is.
Like him or not, the boys skills and talent are amazing. He´s developed really well since 2008.
Look into the predictions post, I tipped him to win the championship. :O

Mike Gascoyne "with the best will in the world, none of the new teams are going to score points in the first four races".

Robert Kubica "We will not go to Bahrain to fight for the podium".

Massa's looking good for Bahrain, he won the last two races there, barring Button last year. I don't think the new teams will be very successful. Lapped 2 times maybe? Three, perhaps?

People don't realise this but Lewis smoothened his driving style last year. Just take a look at his pole laps from Monza and Abu Dhabi last year and you'll see that his driving is less ragged and more composed than in 2007 or 2008.

Any news about soft tyres? I read that they only last for 7-10 laps with Full tank.

Well think about Monaco 09, Vettel wrecked his tyres within 10 laps and was losing 4s/lap to those ahead. That was with not much fuel as well...
