I'd be more concerned by the wear on Jenson's plank - that car was rubbing quite severely at Turn 8 for the entire race.
It was a strange atmosphere in the drivers' press conference, no doubt about it.
Lewis's subdued demeanor did seem a bit odd, that would certainly explain it. But surely Jenson will have mentioned to the team that the car needs to be up to the weight limit even when all the fuel has been taken out?
And they had enough gap to save a lot more fuel if they needed too.
And Webber's missing a few parts of his car too. Schumacher going to win his first race then? :p
Lewis didnt seem too excited after winning. strange, let's wait and see. and hope not.
I think there was a slight air of disbelief that Red Bull handed them the victory, plus some confusion over Jenson's unique way of saving fuel by racing his team mate!
I would have said Lewis was going to have more of an issue with that?Quote:

It's the "save fuel" thing.
Notice how just before the podium when Jenson asked Lewis this and Lewis turned his back on the camera and muffled his response.
Jenson's performance at the press conference was slick horrible to watch, but that's the price you pay for driving for McLaren.
I too think it was a subtle way of Whitemash to tell button to back off and bring home the 1-2Quote:
