You chose Hamy's bad drive just because it suits your agenda.

Button was so much ahead because bieber messed up his qualifying yesterday and Webber had no KERS yesterday (what a surprise). So both of them were stuck for a while in the race. After MS retired, bieber started lapping at the same pace as Button and a little faster than Hamilton (in the 1st stint). So there is no way you can say Red Bull was slower than McLaren today.

But I can't dismiss the qualy yesterday - Red Bull were nowhere, the car simply isn't as dominant as it was last year, although it's a good, solid machine. But to progress from 6th to 2nd is impressive IMO. Note that I don't say that Vettel was better of Jenson. Simply that he drove very well. Better than Lewis Hamilton - at least in my opinion.

Bieber messed up his qualy yesterday and Webber and no KERS. That explains why they were so much behind McLarens.

You are being unreasonable and you know it. Vettel is an expert qualifier, but yesterday he was constantly slower than the McLarens and the Mercedes GP guys. Nico messed his qualifying, not Seb.

AAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrggggg, I´m so glad that Kimi got points this morning. A great day from someone who hasen´t competed for two year in F1.

Kimi will take Lotus up in the sky.

And last but not least, congrats to the superior MacLaren driver, Jenson Button!!!!!!

Seb:I made a mistake at the beginning and lost some time, so that was down to me.

Any more questions?

This explains why he was behind Webber, but never during qualy he was threateing the McLaren duo. Never.

Maybe McLaren guys were just doing better laps.
Last year I often heard how bieber was such a fantastic qualifier and red bull really was not that much better than any other car (LOL!!!!!!!). So maybe the Macca boys were just so much faster.

But in racepace today, McLaren was not faster than Red Bull at all.

I can't convince you, dear Sir, so I quit trying. But you too can't convince me that the sport's youngest champion is a bad driver...
