I was out drinking until 3am so I had set the record timer on my DVR.

Good race, BMW and Ferrari dropped the ball. I thought it was hilarious when the announcers said "Hey, it's not raining"

Jensen has always been a fantastic driver, one of the smoothest on/off the throttle/brakes and into the corners. He's just been stuck with **** teams and **** cars.

Finally having both on the good side is showing what he's capable of.

Ferrari (this year) is a good example of what happens when you put good drivers in **** cars on a team that's in shambles.

Button is amazing to watch, out shining everyone on every section of the track consistently.

It's really tough & frustrating to root for a team that doesn't get any coverage except for when their problems are talked about because they are stone dead last, and when you do see an action shot, it's because Kubica spun out

Right with ya there

Its even harder when the only reason BMW gets mentioned is because Heidfeld is holding everyone up

I dont think button has great driving skills... last 4yrs hes won 1 race... and never shined, never made something more out of his car then what he had... thats a great driver...

i think this yr, he has a superior car to the others... so he stands out...

Have to disagree with you there. In 1999 Button had to duke it out with Bruno Junqueira for a seat with Williams. Button won that seat, and Junqueira went on to CART, where he's done well for maybe 3 seasons, but the rest are not that much to talk about. Button's managed to stay in F1, whereas Junqueira has been so-so in CART and hasn't been able to jump to F1. Furthermore, Junqueira's ex-CART teammate, Sebastien Bourdais, did manage to go from CART to F1, and has been able to hang in there for a few seasons now.
