Kob's had terrible luck. He was the sentimental choice for my last bits of cash... As far as Schumi goes, my season wins and loses with him. I just think Button was wrongly ridiculed here and in the press. He is an excellent driver. Just ask Lewis.

^I'm very surprised by just how well Jenson is doing thus far. I figured he'd do well, but 2 wins in 4 races?

Button had that determination to go head to head with Hamilton. I didn't pay too much attention to Formula 1 until last year (I know I'm a late bloomer, but it has become my favorite sport). I will say I was rooting for Brawn the whole way because it was a fairytale, and I became fond of Button. Lewis has and will always be my favorite driver excluding Senna. I respect Button for taking up the challenge and agree that he was ridiculed in the press. He is smart and experienced and knows when to take gambles.

Oh and PS... I dropped Alonso for Button in my team, that payed off. I do kind of hate having my emotions kick in.

I was wrong about Button. I wish I owned him now.

Button will have a "complete" season if he wins a race where weather conditions are not an issue. He's proving that he can make smart decisions with tires, but can he out-pace and out-drive the others on a dry track?

I'm very tempted to stick with my team:
Hamilton
Button
Rosberg

But if Hamilton is going to get a grid drop for the next race I don't know if I'm gonna hang on to him. Moving up from outside the top 10 might not be so easy next time.

Just looked this up on F1.com

Pos Team Points
1 McLaren-Mercedes 109
2 Ferrari 90
3 RBR-Renault 73

Would you believe McLaren is so far ahead of RBR?

I was very surprised.

Hami did very well passing everyone after it became dry in Australia. You got to think about that

I saw that too... I like the standings. Perfect in my opinion. Just needs to stay like this for the rest of the year, but still be very close
