2010 Las Vegas Grand Prix

Is there actually any realistic shot of Button grabbing a win at some point this season? I’m mostly asking because I’ve got some bets riding on it 😬

Top four, for sure.

🙂 You're way off base here.😉

They'll break into the top 15, and Blaž will absolutely lose his mind with joy.🤣

If he lands in the top 15, he’s going to absolutely lose his mind with joy.🤣

That’s just impossible, and honestly, it's because neither Senna nor Chanhok ever even sat in a cockpit.

Give me a break, this is hilarious. It's not like Kamui was even driving last year, yet he still managed to finish ahead of the current champ in his first race.😉

Honestly, HRT could easily end up faster and better than Virgin, Lotus, Renault, or Force India. I wouldn't be shocked at all if that actually happened.

We won't know anything for sure until Sunday afternoon. Who knows? It's not out of the question that Virgin, Lotus, and HRT could actually be the fastest ones on the track.😂

...a little taste of the good old days...bring back Trulli and Kov

Preseason is just a bunch of people pretending they actually know what they're doing, and honestly, I've seen enough hype cycles to know it's mostly noise. The only thing that actually matters is Sunday afternoon once the leader crosses the finish line, whether it's a Ferrari or a Lotus🙏

I really hope that happens👍 , (though in my head, I was picturing him standing on the podium the whole time)....better if I just keep my mouth shut, things are getting a bit too real here😢 🙂

spent all last year just trying to stay inside the cockpit, he still managed to keep the current champ right on his tail during that first race.

If HRT actually had their act together, they could easily outpace Virgin, Lotus, or Renault, and honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if they did.
We won't know anything for sure until Sunday afternoon, and who knows how things will shake out, because it’s not entirely impossible that Virgin, Lotus, and HRT end up being the fastest ones on the track. 😂

Yeah, right, like that’s ever going to happen...😬

Arthur Doyle70 said:Good, that's just impossible.....😬

You mean 😬

who on earth would've guessed last year that some underdog like Brawn would swoop in out of nowhere and basically clinch the championship within the first seven races? 🤣

And don't even get me started on Force India actually fighting for wins, let alone in 2009.
Nobody seriously expected Ferrari to walk away with zero points in the first three races while McLaren 9 grabbed them all. You never know. 😬
Total nonsense happens all the time. 🤣
It’s even possible one of these three newcomers takes the title. 😂

When an underdog pulls off a massive result, it’s a shock to the system, sure—but those moments are rarely accidents. They are almost always the byproduct of relentless, grueling work behind the scenes. In my view, HRT just doesn't fit that narrative. Maybe they’ll be lifting trophies one day, but right now? At the start of a season without having clocked a single testing kilometer, expecting them to land a top spot would require nothing short of a miracle.

let alone that Force India would ever even be sniffing around a win, much less being a factor in 2009
nobody really expected Ferrari to walk away from those first three races with zero points while McLaren 9 was sitting on nine, but hey, you never know😬
anything can happen when things get this ridiculous🤣
including one of these three newcomers actually taking home the title😂

Look, if any of these three teams actually pulls off a championship win, a black hole is going to open up right next to Earth and we'll all be headed straight to...😬

?
Who would have ever guessed last year that a team like Brawn would strike out of nowhere and basically clinch the championship within the first seven races? 🤣

And even less likely was anyone thinking Force India would actually be fighting for wins, let alone in 2009.
It didn't really cross anyone's mind that Ferrari might walk away with zero points in those first three races while McLaren 9 grabbed them all. You just never know, right? 😬
Anything can happen, even the most ridiculous scenarios. 🤣
It's even possible that one of these three newcomers could go on to take the title. 😂

At least Brawn showed they had the pace during testing. 😬

Jeremy Phillips94 said:Is there any realistic shot at Button winning at least one race this season? Asking for my betting slips. 😬

There is. He’ll likely pick up 5 or 6 wins easily.

McLaren is incredibly strong right now—better than Mercedes, maybe even better than Ferrari. Plus, Red Bull is going to struggle big time with their tire degradation.

And Button is excellent at managing tires.

silvercobra68... what a joke of a season prediction...🤣🤣 I mean, does anyone even bother watching anymore when the outcome feels this obvious...

I’ll be honest, it won't be quite as much fun watching when the heavy hitters aren't on the grid😍, but I'll still be tuning in regardless. I’m not exactly an expert on the current standings, so I was hoping someone could catch me up—who actually has the best car right now? Looking at the betting lines, Alonso is the massive favorite to take the win in Bahrain, but my gut feeling, even as a casual observer, tells me that Vettel is going to absolutely dominate the competition, both in this opening race and throughout the entire championship season.🤷

If ExxonMobil manages to pull off a victory, then surely Button will find his way to the top as well.👍

🤣🤣

McLaren and Hamilton........

Just watching all five of them look completely lost...🤣🤣🤣

Arthur Doyle70 said:Man, looking at all five of them... they look totally lost...🤣🤣🤣

I swear, looks like Michael Schumacher just passed out...🤣
