yeah,
only thing is though, it has evened them out again meaning that there will be less overtaking, and thats the best bit!

I hope they both do well on Sunday, I'm not happy I'm going to miss the race, could quite happily give up Central Day for the F1

Friday practice really doesnt mean a lot to be honest

Look at Alonso in 19th.......you dont know what tyres or fuels loads the drivers are running, or whether they are looking at race setup for fuel loads etc etc

I predict come Q3 there will be a great deal of difference to the order today.....as long as JB is in the top two or three I dont care about the rest

thank god someone other than lewis "wonder boy" hamilton's winning and in for a shot at the title this year, all we heard was lewis this and lewis that last year, nothing of button.....but now its the opposite way around people will be saying the same but thank god its good to see a "new" smaller team with not that big a budget compared to the big 3 (toyota, ferrari, mclaren) up there showing them that its about engineering not money!

here here to more overtaking in the race, f1 has got a whole lot more boring from all this following and swapping on the pit strategy, get some real racing going on and maybe fans will enjoy it more!

Not wishing to piss on your chips, the Brawn has had 15 months of Honda cash spent on it and is probably the most invested in ( read EXPENSIVE ) car on the grid!

However it is nice to see Button in the car he deserves

Same as Andy Murray then

Personally I'll support any Brit/Brit team against Johnny Foreigner!

I was just pointing out Andy Murry is a Brit when losing and a Scot when winning same as your point about JB/LH

as said I dont give a fuck - I'll support a Brit whatever, even if it was the tiddleywinks world cup!
