If Grojean can smooth his driving over we'd have another driver who could possibly win a GP

Some of his decision making is really worrying. We've seen that last year and he's done it again at Button's expense last race.

Not so much decision making as a simple oversight - the same kind of which cost Alonso his front wing in Malaysia. Let's be fair here.

I reckon grosjean did nothing wrong with Button. The way i read it is, Grosjean won the chicane, he thought Button would ease off so Grosjean could take the line, but Alonso (was it?) was breathing down Button, so if Button backed off Alonso would swallow him as he would be compromisd by Rogro. So he didnt back off and expected Grosjean to make the chicane compromised so he could return an attack.

Pure racing incident of drivers expeting eah other to do different things and not wanting to compromise with each other.

I don't buy it. Bottom line is that Button was there and he turned on him. If drivers went with what they expected of one another, it'll be a crashfest.

Grosjean's really fast, but there's a distinction between being fast and being a racer. Put all the drivers in the same simulator and Grosjean will be near the top, but I don't think he's up there yet when it comes to real-life racing.

Yeah but what happened to being ahead and giving room to get back to the racing line?

From the race I watched ,whilst erratic, grosjean was pretty entertaining for example the start and then the pass on Massa. Button was sadly in a different race and it was a shame grosjean got caught up in an accident.

You make it sound like it was Button's fault. :confused:
