Lewis is class of the field, but Jenson is winning races and that is what counts. Alonso is also flexing his muscle and refused to sit behind his slower teammate and seems to be establishing his dominance inside Ferrari and showed today that with 4 pitstops and a drive through he can still get results. Ballsy moves, daring passes, stretching the rules are all great. You have to be there at the end and he's shown that even after an admitted mistake, and it was damn close on the lights with a few thousandths being the difference between a brilliant start and a jump, he can still be there at the end. Once again Alonso and Lewis show they are racers, but Button has shown them both up by using his head and not setting a foot wrong. Nice to see him shutting up the critics.
Absolutely agree there. I have to say that with his 2 wins in 4 races this season JB has impressed me more than by winning the first six races and the Championship last year. He set himself up for a real challenge by moving to McLaren, and so far he seems to be on top of Lewis while keeping a cool head and attitude. Never was a fan of his, but I give him the thumbs up, and do hope he will keep giving Lewis a run for his money for the rest of the season.
Alonso seems to be doing a great job as well, what with all the pressure of a 2xWDC moving to Ferrari and all the reliability issues he's had, he just seems to be happy and quite relaxed in the car, and definitely seems to have better control of it over Massa. Had he not jump started the lights we would have been treated an even more exciting race today.
Here's hoping we'll head to the last race of the season with Seb, Alonso, Button, Lewis and maybe Rosberg, Massa and Webbo all chasing the title! I'd love to have been able to add Schumi on that list, but he just seems to be drifting away at the moment..
