I voted for Kimi, but if rain, Jenson has a good shot, the McLarens are running well so far, and we all know he is a demon in changing conditions!

Well, he wasn't a demon in Malaysia!

a lot of people criticise Button for Malasia race. But I am not agree with them. When raining, he used to get more risk, and if this risk was the right choice, then he is awesome. But risk used to be fail.

Malasia, was not a bad race for button, only one fault crashing with Narain (were fighting for position). But was not a bad race.

If rain on China, I bet for him

...

ummm, Massa out, Button to Ferrari and this is his (hamilton) new teammate?. Maybe, he may get in the car.

Button was lightening fast when he came out of the pits and almost hit Lewis, such was his speed. He just misjudged the braking distance when lapping Karthikeyan. Simple mistake. The strange thing was his poor pace on the newer set of Inters. He was very slow, so maybe the set was damaged. From then on his pace was fine.

Where Lewis jumps into the car, he just grabs the car, puts it on like overalls and zips it closed

[donald29]

Didn't Button pit a lap earlier than Hamilton? So had an extra lap on the tyres which is why he was faster and nearly hit him. Lewis had only just come out the pits.

Single DRS zone for China. Detection between T12 and T13. Activation halfway down the straight.

DRS zone is 152m shorter than last season apparently. It will be 752 metres before Turn 14.

[phil1993]

Lewis Hamilton will drop 5 place on the grid due to a gearbox change

[JoostLamers]

Major bummer.

But now he can show what he's worth starting from 6th or lower in that car

[The Immortal Dragon]

Hahah, awesome picture!

Lewis looks like a midget next to Yao

Well, he obviously made a mistake in crashing into the HRT, but surely that can happen and we forgive him for it.
However, Senna was at some point last and finished 6th, whilst Button failed to make an impression when he dropped back.
And that's because, if you remember, he had severe issues in getting his inters up to temperature, which is obviously crucial.
It was strange, it was unusual for Button, but that's because he didn't come home with any points whatsoever.

Lotus's protest against the Mercedes double DRS system has been rejected.

[donald29]

I wonder if that's clarification enough for Christian Horner.

[Green Flag]

Lotus's protest against the Mercedes double DRS system has been rejected.

The FIA statement included the following: "The Mercedes design is not activated by driver movement. It is a consequence of a change of position of the driver adjustable bodywork, which is permitted under the regulations."

Perhaps someone smart could explain it to me? It is not activated by driver movement, it is just activated by the DRS which is activated by driver movement Well, anyway it is good to have a decision one way or another so we can concentrate on the racing

[KevC]

When the driver presses the button to activate the DRS, it does just that. It flips the wing.

As a consequence of that, it opens some holes that guide air elsewhere. So that's fine.

It would not be fine if they pressed a button that specifically opened the holes.
