I believe Mclaren wanted Button to win his 200th GP but were hoping for a 1 2, a driver can’t decide to use the inters if rain was only for 4 minutes. The pit should give the driver info on the duration of the rain.
Redbull and Ferrari do that. Mclaren are selective in their release of critical info.

Yeah because they could tell using their magic time machine that it would only last as long as it did.

So far, Mclaren’s have shown no signs of team orders. Today was another proof. Look how easily Alonso repassed Massa when got off the track. Hamilton had to work hard to pass Button or rather force him go wide.

Boullier really doesn’t seem to like Heidfeld at all. He seemed determined to pin the blame on his driver for his car catching fire. You’d normally expect a team principal to play the ‘vague’ game and just say that they’re ‘looking into it’. Not the first time he’s failed to defend Heidfeld.

There’s been that tone to his comments all along this season — earlier on when Nick was leading Petrov he gave an interview about how Nick was a disappointment, was not a leader, and really needed to improve. Those things may all be true, but I don’t know that I’ve heard any other team principal speak about their driver like that, and certainly not when that driver’s out performing their teammate.
Honestly, just like a driver slating their team when things go wrong turns me off to that driver, a team boss slating their driver on questionable grounds turns me off to that team.

If Lewis had just stood on the brake where he spun then Di-Resta and the two cars in front of him would all have had to drive around Lewis and off the track.
Well at least that what I saw. No I do not need glasses.
And it was good to see a public apology on the BBC even if we did not get to hear it.
Great race though…

Great race and some great results, especially Button and Di Resta.
Great stuff from Ricciardo too, he did himself proud, keep it up!

Good drive by Sebastien Buemi from the back of the field.
