Lap 17: Jenson Button is up to 11th and is going a lot faster than anyone else.

Jenson Button went straight into a top team.

Didn't button go into BMW Williams? They were a good team but not one of the very best, then he went forever without winning a race which seemed to peg him back anyway, he seems a pretty down to earth bloke whenever i've seen him interviewed.

Exceeding the speed limit under the safety car (you aren't allowed to beat your best sector time).

Thats fair enough, i didn't hear it on the TV and thought it might have been for the incident involving Hamilton.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Why is there a safety car? Because it's raining?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Now it bollocks it down and then the safety car comes out? What the fuck? Let them race for christ's sake.

Button uses SC to get wets on. Could still be a very interesting second half of the race.

Farcical stuff. Seb says it's undriveable.

Farcical stuff. Seb says it's undriveable.

He would, what with being in the lead and stuff.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Only half points at the moment though.

Senna drove majestically in far worse conditions at Donington

Fuck it - Stoner put a bike round Silverstone today in conditions that make this look like drizzle

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Red flag.

Right move, this is pointless trundling around behind the safety car.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolutely. Hopefully this fucks off in twenty minutes and we can have a drying circuit for the remainder of the race.

 

[Nando]

Another Ferrari strategy shocker!

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Couldn't have timed it any worse, just as the football finishes so now theres nothing to turn over to.

 

[Wombat del combate]

Hamilton gave away much when he said he was halfway up Button's inside.

 

[The Bear]

This looks like a write-off. Can see it getting called in about half an hour.

 

[Nando]

They can go on for as long as they want, won't be written off that early.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

it is going to be over soon surely. weather isn't improving any time soon. Shame, but there it is.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

2008: Breaking news - it has stopped raining, reports BBC F1 pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz.

Fingers crossed

 

[The Bear]

I can't remember it raining in Canada three years ago....

 

[Nando]

Wooo 15 minutes

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

not sure whose fault the button-alonso contact was. fucked both of their races though
