Booing, whoever it is directed at, is just not very sporting full stop. It happens nowhere else, the Brits didn't boo when Vettel won at Silverstone this year and McLaren were nowhere to be seen!

Well if he had a good start then he wouldn't have had to overtake either of them.

Button was lucky he had a poor start which meant he ended up in a better position when the time came to overtake MSC. HAM did the equivalent of loosening the tight lid on a jamjar...
He also benefitted from MSC running HAM off the circuit.

He was behind HAM on the grid so would have had to overtake him at some point.

Well it's getting exciting here in Singapore.
I can't believe how much effort goes into preparing the track and facilities for the GP. Being a street track means major disruption, except here they do it like everything else, in an efficient manner.
Saw some of the Lotus guys in the hotel, and the cars have already arrived.
And i've finally bought a new camera, so as long as nobody minds, I will continuallt spam pics of the GP up...
Just caught the Pirelli truck arriving. Shit load of tyres!

And maybe some running updates from MB who is so very fortunate to be out there!
Vettel could take the title this weekend if Alonso comes 4th or less and Webber or Button are 3rd and lower.
Preliminary weather forecast is for thundery showers over all of the race weekend. This could make the race very interesting, a race at night, in the torrential rain! Button come good again?
