To me it looked like Button hit Lewis. He may not have seen him, but Button still turned into his teammate.

I think drifted into not so much turned in on...

So a little off the current state, why are the stewards investigating the Button Hamilton incident? IMO it was Button's fault, but it was an inteam incident. I'd think the FIA would let them take care of this in house.

How is it Button's fault, firstly he was following the racing line, secondly, Lewis's front tyre hit Button's rear, he was hardly alongside, and thirdly it's unlikely that Button did NOT see Lewis for the amount of spray.

I see it TCG's way.

Well the stewards gave Button a drive through so obviously they saw something there worth penalizing. Button did squeeze Lewis against the wall. Having said that I have no idea why Lewis was trying to pass in that position. He just didn't have the position to pass.

Also it now appears that Lewis was informed he had a suspension problem and he chose to ignore that. That would be the reason he was testing his car so much after his crash.

So we can gather that Mclaren has been using the same couples therapist as Ralph Cramden and his wife in the Honeymooners (for those of you old enough)

This is cool. First time I have seen specialty machines to take standing water of a track. I always wondered why circuits don't have such specialty machines.

It's the ultimate wet setup

Button got the drive through for speeding under the safety car

Drive through was for speeding behind the safety car

Lewis... "Team told me to retire"

That's why it's so wet, it's Lewis's tears.

I can see Lewis's car flying in these conditions, he's found the ultimate driving aid. I wonder what Newey thinks about attaching a 7 litre engined truck to the front of the car.

So the race is limited to 2 hour race time light pending? And not 2 hours from the start of the race?
