Because he's behind Rosberg. If he was 6th, but Rosberg was behind him, he would be smiling.

Half of his best drives are from 07/08. Id say coming in in your rookie year and going toe to toe and drawing even on points with Fernando Alonso, the best driver of the post Schumacher era, is nothing to sneeze at. The war with Massa in 08 was something else too, full of all manner of shit he had to bounce back from, the worst of which was FIA stripping him of his win at Spa when it was the Iceman who was responsible for his infraction.
Some media are rumbling that big reorganization is planned during summer break. There is an article on Omnicorse about this.
Collateral damage
"However, Hugo Boss has recently decided to co-operate with Mercedes-Benz on a number of international marketing projects unrelated to F1.
That being the case, it would be inappropriate for Hugo Boss to continue in partnership with an F1 competitor to Mercedes-Benz, however successful that partnership has been in the past and remains now."

Motorsport Total saying Unilever will be McLaren's title sponsor next season.
Bovril McLaren-Honda - yes!

The rumors going around last September was that Abad "surprise trip to Japan" was to finalize the details of Alonso's contract with McLaren Honda. Shortly after the rumors in the press appeared: Honda pays him 100% of the salary with a #1 status within the team.
Of course that happened because Whitmarsh was in charge, now with Ron Dennis I'm not so sure that LOI matters much.
One thing is 100% sure, Alonso was gone as soon as LdM decided at the last minute to sign Kimi instead of Hulkenberg.

Always odd to me how that works. So what if they are selling some Merc jackets or something. Where is the downside for any of the parties? Probably there is one and I just don't realise it.

As annoyed as he is to be behind Rosberg, I'm sure he was mostly just embarrassed.
And not only that, if track conditions stay the same and without a safety car, the time it will take to clear other cars will probably let Rosberg get a nice lead that will be very hard to break down over the course of the race.
Should be a great race with that grid though.

Seriously?, Prince Harry isn't allowed to talk to them about F1 whilst he is right there? - wow.
What's this?
Yup, they are checking his car on the grid.
Reporters are not allowed to approach him for an interview..

On the BBC show, David was walking around interviewing people, Prince Harry and Jackie Steward came past and he had to ask Jackie how Prince Harry was into F1 as he wasn't allowed to interview him.
I understand not being allowed to talk him on certain things, but not being able to talk to him about F1 whilst at an F1 race is beyond stupid.
We need the full version of this.

why wouldnt they be able to talk to him?
I'm going to assume that it's because he wants to chill out in the paddock/on the grid without spending 90% of his time at the Grand Prix just talking to media.

So, Button for the win and Hamilton for 2nd and Vettel for 3rd - all British podium (when you count 3rd using the team and not the driver).
You know it can (and will) happen.

Well, we are still waiting for the race where the Mercedes drivers take each other out. It might just happen here.
Niki Lauda says Hamilton & Rosberg on different tyre strategies. Prob means medium-hard-medium for one (LH?) & med-med-hard for other (NR?)

If you think a family deserves special consideration due to their bloodline, sure it may obvious. It's not obvious to this subject of the British Royal Family.

I really didn't mean my initial comment to lead to a discussion about the royal bloodline and how people perceive them (or apparently how people like to suck royal appendages - LOL), lets keep this to F1 - the race is starting and Button will take the lead on the 1st corner (though he is more likely to loose a few places) .
