He was getting great drive tbh, tyres were fine. DRS robbed them.
And the fact that Webber is allowed to cut the last chicane 6-7 times

Button drove well, but he was helped by the MW - MSC battle in front. Once he past them, he was a lot faster than the Bulls.

Vettel tyres were 2 or 3 laps older than Buttons. Tyre management has very little to do with it once these Pirelli's drop off. Once they go you're a sitting duck.

Well the Hamilton fans bandy it about so why not apply it where other drivers are concerned. :wink:

There was 3 laps difference in the tyres. Comparing Vettel and Button's tyres is like apples and oranges.

Wrong. Vettel's tyres were 2 laps newer than Buttons, Webber's were one lap older. Either Vettel sucked at tyre management, or Button was just the quicker driver on the day.

I only remember the Button-Hamilton collision. Which other one was there?

Button / Alonso. Button was making an overtake, was alongside, Alonso squeezed into him.

I think he knows that the gap is so great that it doesn't really matter if he's 2nd 3rd or 4rth, Vettel lost out today and that's good.
For Sure!!
