He got the first choice for the full wets too, which ended up putting him in front of Hamilton. (He did, didn't he? Maybe I'm wrong).Shrieker wrote:I think they might've attempted to use Button as a guinea pig on this occasion honestly to see whether it was the right time to put on slicks for Hamilton.GrizzleBoy wrote:Button also got first pick on pitting for tyres again, despite Hamilton being in front.SiLo wrote:Hamilton should be having words with Mclaren after this race, their strategy was poor. Waiting for that rain to fall was silly. As Brundle says, make sure you are on the right tyre at the right time, slicks were waiting for two laps to be put on!
The whole reason why people defended not giving Hamilton first pick on tyres last race was because it was team policy to not give the guy behind their first driver the possibility of the undercut, but they were more than happy for Button to get ahead of Hamilton with pit strategy this time around.
)Schumi. When Hamilton came out of the pits Jenson must've been very close behind him cause the onboard shot of Button showed he was on Lewis' gearbox hassling him for a few turns. In the 2nd round of stops, well... I don't remember who came in first. But I recall Hamilton -after his slow pitstop- coming out behind Button by an absolute whisker so Button must've gone into the 2nd stop first as well, but under what circumstances, again I don't remember.
