Talk:2006 Australian Grand Prix

message: Someone with the knowledge needed should explain (in a footnote or whatever) the "9R" listing for Button in the main 2006 season page's tables. I assume it has to do with the special incident/decision which forced him to retire with just one lap to go---a disputed decision yet to be arbitrated upon at the time of this writing, AFAIK --Wernher 23:20, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Renault's director of engineering Pat Symonds has backed Honda's decision to ask Jenson Button to not finish the Australian Grand Prix.
Button looked set to finish in fifth place when his engine blew up spectacularly just a few metres from the end of the race.
Although Button claimed he could have not made it to the finish line, the team had already asked him to not cross it in order to be able to use a fresh engine without penalty at the San Marino Grand Prix.
And, despite giving away three points, Symonds believes the decision could be rewarded at the Imola race.
"It was an intelligent thing to do - they gave away three points, but it was probably a good thing to do," said Symonds.
Button finished in third place in last year's San Marino Grand Prix, before an irregularity was found in his car's fuel system and the Briton lost his result. Andreasu 11:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

text: My thought is we should not clutter up this year end driver table with all of this info. For consistancy it should be just a "9". In previous races years where the driver completes enough laps to be a finisher but is not running at the finish the table doesn't mention this, it just has the finish position.
