As much as I would like to have Honda be competitive...what are the odds honda gets another podium before the end of the season?

On the other hand, Schumacher is ultra-competitive to a fault. Did you see his tires when he pulled into the pits? He should have let de la Rosa, Heidfeld, and maybe even Barrichello go by. He still would have collected no worse than 5th place points, when Alonso was getting 0. Idiot. Congrats to Button and Honda.

Jenson was on the show Top Gear last week with his car, and talked about things like his lack or a win, and other things. With how badly he wanted to win, I am glad to see he did!

I've been following F1 for a while now and its great to see Button finally making up for 05 and the early part of 06. Overall a great race for Honda. The most exciting and interesting race of this season so far. Hopefully Honda can keep up their pace.

Honda owns the team now so wouldn't that mean BAR was your favorite team?

The reason he was slowing down was because he had a steering rack problem, not because of his tires. If you were in the position that Schumi was in, and knew that Alonso just retired, you'd do anything to stay out there. 5th place is not something that Schumi wants if he can get third. In any case, I thought he should've been penalized. But his retirement was punishment enough.

yah.. ditto.. podium no prob.. win.. diff story..

I guess its about time for Button 113 races or so and from 14th pole pos.... after last season I thought Honda and Toyota would have been stronger.. Barrichello's been finishing well also.. podium last week as well for Honda.


Gotta love rain races, they mix up everything, and make F1 exciting...

I would say that another win will not come again for a longggggg while. Honda F1 just does not have the reliability or the speed to play the championship game.
