Did Button just say he had amazingly good grip?

no, he can't get his tyres warmed up

He said the tyres were already warmed up, and that he DID have amazingly good grip.

Kimi's engine

Should've changed it yesterday, then!

Gives Hamilton a chance to move up to 3rd in the WDC if Räikkönen picks up that grid penalty.

Wow kimi blew up his engine!

Yet another worry about the Renault engine !

Apparently they are looking at just loosing one of the other engines (They have 8 remember as they already took a penalty).

Not going to be a grid penalty tho.

Yesterday would have been a practice engine

Only a penalty if it's a 9th engine is it not?

No. Just an old engine - they are designed to last X amount of time - its the end of the season so it's an old engine.

Grid penalty for KR?

Hope Ur right mate !

We dont know that - you're speculating.


It's really not an issue - they can swap it out before quali and not take a penalty.

Jenson on the hard is just super quick, hope he can still perform the same on the medium where it seems Lewis is better.

Aren't we all ! What I am saying is it won't be past it's design life the plan the use of engines very carefully

What were the fastest times yesterday?

Very low 1:14

Yeah, just had a look, Jenson is now 0.25s faster that Lewis' time yesterday on the medium!

We're already at 1:13.858 from Button today. That was on the hard wasn't it?

Haha Ferrari doing the old tow again - whats the chance they try to use that to get Fernando into P1 during quali.

Maybe but I think the main thing they are doing is working out the gearing for overtaking

too late gear ratios get locked down Friday night.

I doubt they have the pace for that even with a tow

Really ? JB wants to worry then

Why?

I am afraid that couldn't be tested because of the traffic

FI pulled away from him

That was close
