I wouldn't be suprise that as the pussy cat doll bounces up and down on him, he gives a flying what anyone else thinks lol
Apart from both families going out for dinner with when they first got together, their relationship is entirely professional - and in fact the best example amongst any team in my opinion. Button's itinerary does not afford him the luxury of extra time to mentor Hamilton away from the circuit, although I'm certain he'd be quite happy to offer advice in the bizarre scenario that it be asked for. And that is all he's said. It does not preclude the possibility of being friendly and helpful when they meet at each race. The author of the article you have linked to is paid to write stories that get people talking. And when people talk, the story often takes on a distorted slant - leaving the author who provoked it with a glass of Champagne and a wry smile!
There are some journo's out there that are just begging for the Hamilton/Button relationship to crumble. Any hint that there is a crack and they'll have a crow bar in it quicker than you can say 'Fernando is faster than you'. If they can't get what they want, they'll cut an interview, remove the context of what's been said and apply their own... just like typical tabloid media.
Murdoch? BBC? …Regardless of the substance of Forza's link (above), one finds it increasingly difficult to see a distinction between the two.
Also on the gossip column: Lewis Hamilton's fellow racers have asked to discuss some of his controversial driving this year in a meeting with FIA race director Charlie Whiting at the Japanese Grand Prix. Full story: Autosprint (in Italian) Personally I'm glad that the drivers wish to discuss this with the FIA. Hamilton's driving this season has been reckless and since the penalties have no effect on him, something else must be done to eradicate the dangerous driving. Hamilton doesn't use his brain and he never learns - the FIA must set an example because his driving should not be tolerated. I believe the FIA should give Hamilton a one race ban. What are your thoughts on this?
My thoughts are that they are overreacting and need to shut up and get on with it. It's not like he's ramming people off the road ala Senna or Schey. Most of the time he's just been taking a dump on his own race anyway. When did racing drivers get so pansy?
I'll leave the complaining to the fans, but the punishments to the FIA. Maybe punishments need to make more of an impact when a "racer" breaks them, and to be far more consistent when dealing them out. They should pick 1 group of drivers as race stewards for the year and stop rotating it so we might stop getting rules going one way for a driver and another way the next race. I just feel certain drivers arn't being punished enough or consistent enough for that matter.
Massa always seems to be involved quite a lot too. Should they look at his driving too? Can't have smoke without fire etc etc etc
So lets see! What drivers will be complaining to Charlie come next weekend about Lewis? Massa, Alonso, Maldonado = Obviously! Webber, Petrov, Di Resta = Maybe? Kamui, Rubens = Unlikely?
It's just Massa having a girlie whinge to deflect the fact he is not doing a good job at Ferrari. There are certain other veteran drivers who's standards have been called into question just as much as Hamilton's...........
No it isn't. This is about Hamilton's driving this season, and Massa isn't the only driver raising this issue with the FIA. This isn't the first time drivers have had problems with Hamilton's driving: http://www.f1sa.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7835&Itemid=9 http://formula-one.speedtv.com/article/f1-hamilton-defiant-after-drivers-meeting/
