Button has been on pole before and he didnt win then.

exactly and no offense i just dont think he has the car under him this weekend to win - plus hed need to sort the start out with 2 renaults right beside him

MS has the best position right now, hes going to start 10th, can add any amount of fule and if the race starts wet or becomes wet he can much more easly change his strat. if rain falls at the right time, he might pull off a one stopper and get on the podium if not 1st, especialy if the other guys have to go in 3 or 4 times to change tires

oh a girl can but dream - thats exactly what id love to see - throw in a bit of rain & the rain maestro will emerge

What a contrast at Honda: Jenson Button is on pole with a time of 1'25.229 and Rubens Barrichello is 16th with a time of 1'29.943! Incidentally, Jenson has now got a pole position in 2004, 2005 and 2006, not bad.

Felipe Massa once again makes a costly error, this time in qualifying, and lines up just ahead of the ailing Rubens Barrichello. In fact, both Ferraris seemed slow. Rosberg came back down to earth with P14 and Webber did well to qualify 7th. Having said that, Webber tends to do well at Albert Park

I see Button no better than 3rd after the first lap, maybe only 4th...............

Yes, but we all know that you are a doubter.

Rubens Barrichello, with 9 wins to his name and having outqualified Michael Schumacher 7 times last season could only manage 16th in a car that

No one accepts that Speed cost JB 2nd place in Malaysia. Rubens dosn deserve and excuse either then! And anyway, Ide wasn't hugely in his way!

JB would have lost 2nd anyway, even if Speed wasn't there.

Yep and JB had more fuel!

Indeed.

The two Renaults are just behind Jenson but, considering their starting prowess, they might get ahead of him at the start. Perhaps Jenson should be aggressive at the start i.e. employ the legendary
