jeez. why has ross brawn not let him win? yeah button is winning, but rubens is part of the team too! and there's only been 5 races, they need to give him a freaking chance. that really peed me off.
Yes! If you want a driver to win, you don't switch from a 2 stop, to a 3 stop. Ross and Nick can say whatever they want, I'm just not gonnan believe them
. He was heavier then Jenson and far more quicker in the 1st stint. Then why chance to a 3 stopper if you 'want' Rubens to win
Except that they didn't switch Rubens to a 3 stop.
They were both on 3 stoppers. They switched Jenson to a 2 stop.

Yea right ...in the 1st pit stop of Rubens they put him fuel for 18 laps and he call him when he have do only 12 laps! Why...I tell you why! Because is to dam fast and in the 12 laps the gap Rubens an Jenson is 15 sec and if he have done 6 more laps the gap he woes 21 sec!(1seconde faster than Button) Then he doing the pit stop and he will be still 1st. Same on you Ross....

Why are they sure it was a "racial incident"?
It could be a Hamilton fan, imitating his idol?
I saw on TV, that there were quite a few British fans, also Button fans. So it might be nothing more than a Hamilton fanboy.
Media exaggeration?

If ever there was a headline taken dreadfully out of context, that's it.
Cos straight after saying that he says 'But I know Ross wouldn't do that'.
Brings the whole thing back down to earth when you see the whole story.

Pretty stupid to let the driver that leads the race, do a 3 stop strategy. Something tells me this was a championship thing.
Anyway, what a total fail by Mclaren instead of going forward things go backward, frustrating.

I think in Brawn's subconscious, Button will be champion. And while early in the game to start favoring one dude (not that he's not done before with Michael) for a team of strained finances and an ambiguous future; an internal driver fight could be detrimental. Ultimately sponsors care for winning and leave the team politics to the team. To attract sponsors and stay in F1, they have to win...and Button seems the one to have mastered the winnage. And an open title fight with Rubens would - as I said - be detrimental to the team's long term prospects and sponsor attractiveness.
Not gonna scroll back 30 pages to see what you folks talked about Ferrari's pit strategy. But those folks suck and Baldiserri - if he does not commit suicide himself; will surely be found in a ditch on the side of the road eventually. I would be quite pleased if there were another major shuffle back at Ferrari - in terms of drivers. Namely, I would send Kimi packing and Massa stays to the end of the year. By rotation, the team's official testers and Schumacher should be back. As for Hamilton and Mclaren, all their misdeeds would not have given them such a penalty: they cannot consistently score points; they have an accident prone driver and they get beaten seriously by a car with a technologically identical drivetrain. That almost sounds like a curse.

Baldisserri was ditched already. Dyer's been the lead strategist in the last few races.

well it would be the same wouldnt it? it would be unfair on jenson.
Its Brawn. why change the strategy when they already had a win? Rubens was leading and could've won but they decided to change so Jenson won. Why?

I think racial incidents are serious, but I don't see why it should be seen as the fault of the circuit if someone smuggles in facepaint. I hope no sanctions are employed against Barcelona, although I hope it's dropped off the calendar naturally.. :P
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.
