What a pass by seb, and I guess Lewis has stuck his foot in it again saying nobody can take him on the outside and yet Schumi does it in a merc.
Didn't he say that in 2008? I seem to remember before his bold statement, this happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC7-Qdcj7wQ
I don't hate JB. If anything I've been impressed as I thought he'd have been blown away by Hami. But he's just not my kind of racer as he always seems to sit back and wait for things to happen rather than getting on the front foot. Today was a great example first Webber and Massa collide in front of him - thank you boys CHA-CHING - then Schui and Hami duel with Schi holding Hami up allowing him to catch up - CHA-CHING, then Hami gets forced onto the grass and has to lift which allows him past - thankyou Michael CHA-CHING - 3 places and he aint done owt yet then to top it all off Schui - now on shot tyres after being roughed up by Hami rolls out the red carpet CHA-CHING. Button then calls all that a 'fight' in the press conference. Oh pul-eeeeze.
Button saying what Hamilton was probably thinking, Hopefully if Hamilton can keep his nose clean his old self will be allowed back next season.
If I was Hami watching the Button and Whitmarsh love show on the forum right now I'd be reaching for the puke bucket.
Hamilton was waiting behind Schumacher unable to overtake him, Button came up and passed both Hamilton and Schumacher straight away. Who has done the most overtakes this season?
Button has overtaken more drivers than anyone else. All lucky and mistake related of course though. Cant you just accept that (so far) Button is doing a Better job? No you have to resort to dribble.
Well done to Vettel. Just upped his game to another level today. Whilst it's too early to compare him to some greats (like Brundle did), he's definitely on the road to being a legend. Totally outperformed the car today. Special mentions to Jaime Alguersuari, Michael Schumacher and Bruno Senna too, they all did a great job.
Its a dangerous move but I'm going to engage in the fun Button V Hamilton debate which we all love This season it seems to me that Button has improved (and yes I already thought he was a great driver), whilst Hamilton has had a dodgy season. When Button first joined McLaren I knew it would be close and I was happy that McLaren had two very good drivers with different styles, it covers the most bases. To me McLaren have the best line up and long may it continue (as a McLaren fan)
Yeah. I think something else is being overlooked in this. Button did today what he usually does, which is to lurk 1.3 to 1.5 seconds behind, staying out of the dirty air and protecting his tyres. When the moment comes he has the grip to slow the car down later than the driver he's passing and get the power down on the way out of the corner. That's why his overtakes stick and why he's got more successful competitive overtakes than anyone else this year.
Yes that is a good point, every driver has to conserve tyres and fuel during a race and Button seems to be very smart in when he choses to do it.
Button has definitely improved. I regret saying he'll never win another title. If the car is right next season, i expect him to challenge.
'Lurking' - a bit like creeping flesh. He He. Everybody is banging on about the the most overtakes. Vettel probably has the least. If I had the second fastest car on the grid and the most overtakes for the season then I'm doing something wrong.
