Re: Best Race in 2011 and 2012
Pretty much everyone at Speed assumed Lewis a goner when Kimi came out in front of RoGro. It wasn't like that in Germany - the comments were about the Ferrari disappearing and being faster than Button's McLaren with DRS enabled. To compare this race to Hockenheim is simply not fair. Nobody was impr...

Re: Who is the optimal teammate for Lewis Hamilton?
At the end of the race, Dave Hobbs commented that "McLaren need to help JB catch up as he was 30 seconds behind". Whether JB is doing well or horribly, there's only 1 guaranteed outcome "it hurts Lewis". He won today and already that might have cost him 5-10 pts in the championship as McLaren tries ...

Re: Best Race in 2011 and 2012
"A driver" includes more people than just Hamilton. Alonso was under pressure from two drivers at once at Hockenheim. There have been wins that had a margin of thousandths. This is nowhere close to being the most pressure, and even though Hamilton drove well, it was not that spectacular at all. Eve...

There's an element to this that is true and another that is surely a joke. Hamilton did very well against two Lotuses that had the edge on everybody in the race. Perhaps his best race of 2012. But the best race? For the most part, the 2012 Hungarian Grand Prix was boring. Definitely not a race that...

I think Button is a great teammate for Hamilton - they respect each other, they get on very harmoniously, and in general seem to work together extremely well. There's one rather big problem though - the kind of car they like is very different. Which means McLaren has to develop a car which is a com...

If anything being just 43 pts at the end of the season behind Button is nothing short of incredible. Take away 25 points for Canada and Jenson won just by 18 pts while Lewis was in the pits al...
