People may not like Button and say bad things about his speed (slow), but they don't dislike/hate him like some do Schumacher/Hamilton/Vettel/Alonso. At least I've never seen much hate directed at him.andrew wrote:I don't think it is that at all. Believe me, plenty people dislike Button on some other sites. Me, I can take him or leave him.komninosm wrote:Me too. I think it's because people don't hate Button (like they do Hamilton or Vettel) and it was such a monumental brain fart they feel sorry for the guy. What did Button say about it? Was he asked by reporters? That would be a fun statement.forty-two wrote:I am surprised that JB's "Pitlane Incident" has not been discussed more, especially after the RBR mechanic guy said he thought they were "deliberately cheating". What's anyone else's take on the matter?
There was no harm done so no foul. Button was the one who lost out in the pitstop as he was the only one that lost any time.
The embarrasment alone and the probable michael extraction currently taking place within McLaren is punishment enough.
Besides, I don't think any of the other drivers who have done this have been punished have they?
Sounds painful.komninosm wrote:What is a "michael extraction"?

It looks like rake to me, the back end is clearly higher than anyone elses!Tumbarello wrote:Is it 'flex' or a function of the car's rake angle?Poleman wrote:Nice photo kakogohrena. =D> Will fit nicely as my new desktop.kakogohrena wrote:http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/4814/d11chn1613.jpg
Also,finally a pic where the RB7 is next to the Macca in the same angle .Look at the front wing flex compared to the MP4-26.With naked eye appears to be like 2-3cm.
It might be obvious to you but it isn't to me, so mind explaining why rake cannot be a factor in how low the FW is.marcush. wrote:so for those who did not get my joke (sorry german humour..):
It is rather obvious that rake is not repsonsible for the wing heights we see on the RedBull.
It´s impossible.You just cannot explain it with this ,tyre squash and what ever will not help as you would crush the tray.
And i think the thing is clear and obvious now that wing flex is a fact at least for 2011.
The reason for the extreme rake of the RB7 is to be found somewhere else methinks.
I've shortened your quote to not blow up the thread anymore Marcus.marcush wrote: .....eyes are not meant to be seeing differnces...so you cannot judge from picture evidence if there is a difference in wing height.....
It would be better to discuss this in the flexi wing thread, but hopefully this stuff will get moved over there by a kindly mod at some point.Tumbarello wrote:It might be obvious to you but it isn't to me, so mind explaining why rake cannot be a factor in how low the FW is.marcush. wrote:so for those who did not get my joke (sorry german humour..):
