Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: there is no penalty for Jenson Button and preserves victory


After the meeting of the Commissioners at the end of the Grand Prize of Canada, they have believed appropriate that Jenson Button is not sanctioned as a result of the incidents which starred in during the race. First had an encounter with Lewis Hamilton and then another with Fernando Alonso. In both cases his rivals were forced to abandon the career.
The Commissioners have indicated that in his opinion no two actions is subject to sanction, allowing you to preserve the achieved victory in extremis a few hours ago. Therefore the two incidents by Button are simple lances of career. A decision that comes later than ideal, but that, at least to me, I think of the logical
In the clash with Lewis Hamilton is likely to not even see coming to his teammate and continued drawing as you would normally. How was he going to think that his partner would try strain through this hollow mninimo? Hence I believe that Hamilton sin of optimistic trying to get where there could be no. There was no physical space for your car.
With regard to the touch with Fernando Alonso, simply got inside and ran out of room for manoeuvre. The Spanish drew on the exterior by pulling towards the apex and there was Button. This little could do to avoid the collision with the Ferrari.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: Wild River of Jenson Button victory


The output of the Grand Prize of Canada occurred behind the safety car due to the large amount of water that had fallen on the asphalt of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. All this with a rain that would not cease to annoy all up after two hours and a half and then gave truce at times, but in the end ended up disappearing from the map. When every now and then resumed the race, he had to leave the safety car. Not narrowly led more laps than Sebastian Vettel testing.
Surprisingly the victory took which is usually the smartest under changing conditions, Jenson Button. The English beat the German in a final return to remember, derrapaje of the Red Bull through. And to thank you for not losing control in a more committed place. Finally win for Jenson Button, second place for Sebastian Vettel, third for Mark Webber. Fourth ended Michael Schumacher, fifth sixth Felipe Massa and Vitaly Petrov.
The reigning world champion controlled the race from start to finish. Its only moon was the last restart of the race behind the safety car. Michael Schumacher was second, with Jenson Button fourth and Mark Webber third. The young German thought that he fell asleep a little. Button took party in the duel between Schumacher and Webber to placed second and go as an exhalation forward.
In the absence of two laps was to kick of Vettel and thus activate the DRS. In the first attempt he was unsuccessful. It gave the impression that Vettel would win another race, the umpteenth this season. It wasn't like that. Button was the shadow of the German, waiting for a failure or the latest activation of the DRS. It did not lack. Red Bull kb7 skidded on a curve, instantly took advantage of the McLaren to be leader and win the test. Luckily, because Vettel was lucky to have such fright in a clear place and without walls in sight. Could you pressure at the Red Bull?
The race has so many things that comment that there is not enough space on this entry. Very good race Michael Schumacher and Kobayashi, pena Martinez de la Rosa could not open up step up points, and bad luck of Fernando Alonso, who had a touch with Jenson Button, the winning dessert, which left him with the car run aground on a piano.
Finally, not miss the opportunity to comment on the shame of this great prize of Canada waiting forever for the resumption after the red flag. LaSexta advertising, better not to speak. Instead of a retransmission of formula one with advertising cuts, it seems a retransmission of ads with cuts of formula 1.
We look forward to the possible changes that might be in the classification as a result of all investigations in course of the FIA. It should not be forgotten that one of the investigated is Jenson Button.

Spain F1 2011 GP: Hamilton, Button, Webber and Alguersuari under investigation


Newly completed the Grand Prize of Spain entertaining us has come the information that Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Mark Webber and Jaime Alguersuari are under investigation. The reason is that not brought the foot with yellow track flags, as indicated by the rules in this regard.
The FIA has not indicated in that point of the race ignored those flags, but it is assumed that it was when Heikki Kovalainen had his accident, 17 laps from the end. However with the passage of 20 seconds that could receive, the positions of Hamilton, Button and Webber would remain unchanged, retaining the second, third and fourth place, respectively.
Update: the investigation had been concluded with a reprimand involved pilots, so the final classification of the Grand Prize of Spain does not change.
Newly completed the test Antonio Lobato stated that the FIA would investigate several pilots by not lowering the pace with yellow flags on track. Not I lent him much attention to the comment because I did not noticed in the names said the presenter of laSexta. Then I could confirm that the pilots quarantined were Hamilton, Button, Webber and Alguersuari.
We look forward to see how such research is developed. The FIA surprises us with its famous yardstick. Who knows?

GP of China F1 2011: when Jenson Button confused box

Perhaps one of the more anecdotal moments of the Chinese Grand Prix. His first stop in boxes, Jenson Button made the serious mistake of confusing position. Instead of standing on the box of McLaren, their mecanicos were already prepared, he did it in the box of Red Bull to the amazement of the mechanics that quickly made gestures so continue.
Perhaps the fact that were the two teams prepared for the pit-stop at the same time confused the British pilot. That coupled with the fact that the last season the first box was McLaren could make Button cross cable and stop in the wrong position. The pseudo-parada of the Mclaren made that Sebastian Vettel could tell you and win a position in the easiest manner possible.
The explanation that since McLaren is simple. Jenson Button had to have come to make the change of wheels a lap before. Not doing so, broke the synchronization between pilot and team that ended up causing the mistake of the British. Button has apologized to his team about the situation and has thanked them as well responding at a difficult time.
It must be acknowledged that you there are times that the pilots are placed in the axis of the position of stop a few meters before. They do so to avoid having so many problems in "squaring" the car and thus avoid their mechanical errors because a nut does not fit well, but they do so because the previous box, is usually free of the presence of mechanics. Even times it looks like one of them removes the swords of pneumatic guns if the flies.

Jenson Button: "Lorenzo's I think we see greater degradation of the tires"


Approaching the Grand Prize of Malaysia and thereby pilots begin to give their first impressions about the event. To do not vary again make an appearance one of the recurring themes in this beginning of season, Pirelli tyres and their alleged high degradation. I say supposed because in the Grand Prize of Australia his good behaviour surprised everyone, and even some dared to go to a one-stop.
In Sepang, Jenson Button hopes to increased wear of the tires that in Albert Park. English wields the most abrasive asphalt and its high temperature as two factors that will influence enough wear and tear on the compounds. Two details which, in his opinion, will have much to do in the endurance of the tires in the Malaysian event.
Button justified his reasoning:
In Sepang it will be much more heat, with higher temperatures of the asphalt, perhaps as high as 45 ° C, and the asphalt is very abrasive, especially compared with Albert Park, which is very smooth. Sepang requires much stability at high speed of the tyre. All of these factors will make more delicate management of tires, and I think that there will be a further degradation and more stops. In terms of wear and durability, Sepang is located in the middle of the table.
The director of Pirelli Motorsport, Paul Hembery, takes a view similar to the McLaren driver; He has predicted four stops of media at Malaysia. Then will come an unconscious as Sergio Perez and pull away so much pessimism with regard to length of the compuestos…

Before formula 1: Jenson Button not renounced nothing


Talk about Jenson Button as champion of the world guarantees, virtually anywhere, an interesting debate. English was during his early career labeled as that promise eternal, which came to be despised, and after a bizarre victory in Hungary 2006, the opportunity to really not came until 2009, where he fulfilled his dream at the controls of a Brawn GP superior to the competition.
He is often considered as worse his contemporaries pilot and is used to have to Jenson Button as a pilot "the lot". After the title of 2009, before the 2010 season, many believed that Lewis Hamilton is merendaria easily, but the truth is that Jenson made a pretty decent title defense, while in the fight for the title until very forward, with two successful WINS.

Is true that lacked the spark that had Lewis Hamilton, although that same spark is perhaps which made him lose a title, with a little more than cold, would have been able to take home. In the case of Button, has to be said that it was quite inspired in some races in 2010, and refinement played in his favour in difficult circumstances, especially in situations of rain and changing conditions.
In addition, the fineness perhaps benefits you even more this season, for Pirelli tires degrade quickly, and a driver who can safeguard tires can win long at concept of fewer stops in boxes. Long ago, Gil de Ferran commented that Jenson Button was one of the more precise the formula one drivers; following a drawn identical to the millimeter.
We could describe the pilot English as a surgeon of formula one. Perhaps missed you that claw has Lewis Hamilton, the speed of Sebastian Vettel, the versatility of Fernando Alonso and the hardness and tenacity of Mark Webber, as well as the experience of Michael Schumacher. But among them, its fineness is unique, and that is probably what you learn you can make advantage of certain situations, also not often make mistakes.

Precisely not to make mistakes will be vital in 2011, where the pilots will have to handle the buttons of the mobile wing of the KERS, drive gently to retain the Pirelli tires, and take into account where they can advance with the ailerons and where you can't do. The fact of not making mistakes happens to have at once, even more important, if possible, of which had so far.
For all these reasons, jenson Button, who will now worry about the performance of the McLaren, not renouncing anything, in principle. When his single-seater is fast enough, of course, but he has already shown in the last two years of what he is capable, so it will continue to be a pilot to take into account. Perhaps not race to race, but if combined points, and that is what it's worth at the end.
Finally, there is a point which seems to be not so important, but it is. Among the three best teams in 2010, McLaren is which is (or appears to be) the best relationship between pilots. The Affairs of Ferrari, no much to say that she has not been said already, and in Red Bull had its more and minuses in 2010, although it now seems that things are going well. But McLaren has always maintained the order without discriminating against its pilots; and that can make a difference.

Jenson Button create start strong is a must for McLaren

Quite rightly, Jenson Button is believed to be the obligation of McLaren start strong season, did not leave room for doubt and pull from the outset. Others may need to pass hard-pressed to match. This must be the philosophy of McLaren (and I think that this has always been), and apparently the good button is more than motivated to start already, 33 days in Bahrain.


Building on MP4-26 presentation yesterday in Berlin, we could read interesting statements of Jenson Button in regard to the design of the car. They are interesting because he is one of the highest pilots of the grid and has finally been able to have voice in the design of the new McLaren.

I feel much more like home now, much lower in the car, more comfortable. I feel more part of the car. Not what I piloted still, of course, but I feel good. I am limiting factor because I am the chief pilot. But I'm happy that my voice is heard

It is not the first time that I wonder how demons do to fit many pilots in the narrow carrier, but for Button, also is the length. It is not higher than Webber or Kubica, but it is high. 1.83 meters Button, 1.84 meters Kubica, 1.85 m Webber. And be uncomfortable in the cockpit must be a real torture, to say nothing of the Centre of gravity of the car, etc, etc.


In short, a weekend story. The fact is that in 2010, Jenson Button earned two victories and fought for the title until shortly before the end of the season and debuted with McLaren. This year, so consider a candidate again and if you have any facility regarding design of the seat, thus better.
