I've always found Bahrain to be a pretty boring racetrack.

The Australian GP is usually a decent season opener, so I can't see the logic there.

Britain, China & Canada are provisional . Donington has the name rights to the British Gp so if it isn't ready Silverstone will host the European Gp and Valencia will be renamed the mediterranean GP.

why?

It's a long way to go and I have to pay for my own flights and accomodation. I want to go back to the Canadian Gp instead. it's nearer , cheaper and Montreal is a better track.

Well he's a better driver than anybody at Ferrari so.

Not as the rankings show.

And he's a bit of an idiot for pushing for second when third would have sufficed. There was no need and no way LH was ever gonna catch Button, not that late into the race. His own fault for throwing away some valuable points.

Good race from Button today... shame he lost out to Barichello but never mind, at least the Red Bulls are now miles behind.

Dont agree with that at all, its a race, if they dont want to finish in the best position possible then they shouldnt be driving. At least he was making a race of it, it would be very boring if they all just followed eachother round the track.

Think you're misunderstanding what I said. That late on in the race, why would you risk a good position for a position which was unrealistic?

Maybe if there were more laps in the race, then yeah I wouldn't have blamed him for pushing on and trying to catch Button. However, on last lap of the race, and not looking at all likely to catch Button, there was no point.

I agree, Hamilton was being greedy and paid for it. It was of absolutely no gain to him anyway as it's not even like he's in the running for the Championship.

So you're suggesting that Button/Rosberg and co. are better than Alonso & Hamilton?

Im pretty sure there was quite a bit of traffic just ahead of Button on the final lap. If that proved to be unkind to Button then Hamilton stood a chance. Hamilton used that kerb for the whole race and had no problems.

also if everybody had the mindset of 'settling for x when only one second behind the guy in front with one lap to go' I wouldn't bother watching. I remember people moaning last year when Hamilton settled for 3rd behind Rosberg in Singapore. He was in a title fight at the time, this time why not go for it? I'm sure he wants to be part of this years title fight some way or another.

He's not gonna be in this year's title fight at all. No chance.

I'm not saying he always has that specific mindset am I? As I said, if it was earlier on in the race I wouldn't have bothered saying anything. But at the expense of being greedy and going for more unnecessarily, it's backfired and he's suffered from it.

I haven't said that he is in this years title fight, but thats the point. Because he isn't, he'll race with more freedom and push harder than usual. I'd rather him make these mistakes in a season like this.

Im on about any driver.

Kovalainen's got no chance of keeping his seat though lol

My guess is McLaren will re-sign Raikkonen, cause with Massa recovering and Alonso an imminent arrival, he's gonna be out of a seat.
