Not when you consider that the McLaren was widely believed to be a better car in the wet than the Ferrari was last year.

I wouldn't get too excited about this result. Lewis drove well, there's no doubt about that, but this circuit suits the Maccas and Ferraris because aero doesn't matter quite so much, like Monaco. Button had one shot at pole and his fuel strategy was sent all over the place.

It will be Business as Usual at the next race, Brawn and Red Bull in front with Mclaren a lot further up the grid, but not necessarily on the podium.

even if there was a (small) difference I think 15th to 8th kind of beats 6th to 6th really

I agree with both of you.
