Spanish press is stupid. In fact I’m amazed the headline didn’t say “Button says he’s better than Alonso”.

I don’t know about the brazilian ones.

Webber is not a ‘lucky’ driver and seems to suffer the worst of any luck going. You don’t need to be lucky to win but being unlucky can lose you races.

when Sutil blocked Webber in Bahrain, the commentators only just stopped short of calling for the German’s head, cliaming that he robbed Mark Webber of pole position and a certain victory.

Ah, shamelessly partisan commentators. Where would we be without them?

Watching better coverage, probably…

The GP2 race this morning was run on a drying track. The surface is now dry on-line and the radar suggests there won’t be any more heavy rain today. Chance of the odd light shower though: http://bit.ly/EDhhw

Go Mark! I want Button to win the WDC but it’s good to see him being made to work for it instead of getting it handed to him on a plate. And one of the reasons I like Button is because he toiled in terrible cars for so long. This is even truer of Webber.

Sutil has to see his back. Kimi is again behind him

Yes i agree, i really hate them. When i went to the Aus GP this year i thought the track commentary would be the BBC one, But i was sadly mistaken, it was only the aussie commentators. At the start when Vettel jumped into 2nd place Greg Rust was yelling: WEBBER INTO 2ND! WEBBER INTO 2ND! When obviously it was Vettel as Webber had crashed out at the first corner, to make it 2 racing laps in 2 years at the Aus GP .

As much as I’d love for a fellow Australian to win, I’d rather see Jenson Button take it. I also don’t want to have to put up with the morons who commentate in Australia; when Sutil blocked Webber in Bahrain, the commentators only just stopped short of calling for the German’s head, cliaming that he robbed Mark Webber of pole position and a certain victory. They’re worse than James Allen; at least when Allen did it, Hamilton had the results to show through. If Webber wins, Greg Rust and Cameron McConville will probably just cut the BBC commentary and talk Webber up ten laps from the end, increasingly sounding like they’re about to suffer brain aneurysms from the excietement.

it’s great that you don’t want a german winner anymore, but we don’t care, really.
And it’s incredible that saying that, you’re supporting a racer from the most successful country in F1. Schumi was not a cheater, or at least not more than Hamilton or Alonso. And he was better.

Do you have any words to be marked like in Monaco?

He said it recently at a marathon as a joke.

A reporter asked him “Who do you think was the best ever driver in F1?”

His reponse was:

“Me. I’m the best.”

some spanish and brasilian press have the following headlines:

“Button says he’s the best pilot ever.”

When the hell did that happen?

Eating his teammate into turn one? Best typo of the year so far

Give up on the cheat rubbish. The big problem with him for most Brittish fans was he was german and drove for an Italian team.
The war ended long ago but still the c**p continues.Whether you like it or not he was by far the very best and history has proven that with his records. Do you not remember what Prost and Senna got up to? Teams loading cars after the race with spanners and weights in drivers pockets to make the weight? Wake up and stop eating comtaminated bacon standing in puddles, it’s not good for your heath or mental state.

I read that he uses Vettels setups a couple of weeks ago on a F1 site, i think it was autosport. Why does webber deserve the win? Why is it time we had an aussie win? If there was a good aussie driver in there then it would have happened years ago!
