There it is, the built-in excuse of the car being bad being trotted out once again. But that argument falls to pieces when you see the young driver, the one who was supposed to be Button's understudy, outqualify him by more than .5 sec. Yes, in that same doggy car. Yes Button is a World Champion, ju...

Cool, Live in Brampton, work in downtown. Used to live in downtown too, less than 5 mins walk from Eaton Center, but moved out when my kids were born. Still miss downtown, everything is within walking distance.

I am thinking of going with the family: probably leave Toronto on Friday night and comeback after the race on Sunday. Still trying to convince my wife though.

I’m a Macca supporter and I do support Jenson, but still he is no Hamilton/Alonso/Raikkonen IMO , I can live with that without getting too worked up (this is not a Button bashing thread btw). But, I think this the first time in a lot of years (that I can remember anyway) that Macca have not had an ...

You don't see a difference between someone genuinely noticing something and wanting to discuss it and someone just making something up for the purpose of digging into a driver? Both are arbitrary analyses of brief statements/actions made in the immediate aftermath of an intense hour of competition....

But if they both score good points tomorrow I'll eat my hat. Lewis http://adamcooperf1.com/2013/05/11/lewis-hamilton-ive-just-been-struggling-all-weekend/ “Generally this weekend I haven’t had the best of weekends up until now,” said Hamilton. “Obviously this is still great for us today, to be one ...

Why is this three pages long? Hamilton was just out of the car and annoyed he missed out on Pole. The end. Nothing personal with Nico. unfortunately people had to make it personal... and one page wasn't enough to share opinions and insult me :P You pull out this gem after posting this in the other ...

You know , I am just tired of Jenson, when he was with Lewis then the car didnt have any grip, now hes with Sergio the car doesnt have any grip, just grow a set and man up Jenson as I am tired of you whingeing Exactly!!! He was on the phone whining about being blocked, but the other guy was on a fa...

Lewis and Jenson were both outqualified by their team mates today, but their reactions were markedly different. Lewis: "Today I didn't have a second option set at the end that I think would have helped a little bit. But I think Nico was just quicker today," Jenson: "The tyre pressures were massivel...

SilverPower

Troll thread imo. Button said he was told the tyre pressures were incredibly high and needed to investigate. I'm not sure what else you wanted him to say, maybe "I'm Jenson Button and a young Mexican did a better job than me today, I shall now go back to my motorhome and have my lovely Japanese gir...

I thought he was just trying to look cool to be honest. 8) Exactly!!! He sought out Rosberg to congratulate him, and it wasn't just a shake of hands. But some will always find something to whine about when it comes to Hamilton. At least Lewis is not putting it on a bad set of rubber as some drivers...

I was following the high load time yesterday and i am sorry to say that the Mercedes long runs are just as fast if not slower than the Mclarens. Ferrari, RBR and Lotus all faster. Hard to know how heavy they all were though. The long runs in FP2 favoured the Ferraris, especially Alonso. The Mercede...

Mercedes 1-2. Great lap from Rosberg, not bad from Lewis.

Hamilton will have no new mediums for Q3, messing up his first run in Q2 will prove very costly.

Yes you are 100% correct:

Kimi, "The Sauber blocked me completely...was a stupid move"

Blaming Maldonado for blocking him when they were both on fast laps was wrong.

This is actually an impossible question to answer with the current evidence. My take on Lewis Hamilton is that, in terms of talent and raw speed and instinct, he is as good as it gets. Of course there is a lot more to winning championships in F1 though. You need to have a strategic mind with an eye...

Usually going straight to the loo because I haven't for nearly 2 hours. really funny! You're lucky, I have to make a pitstop during the race, and not for tyres either.

In all countries, more people will hate the government than like it. Take the UK, no party got a majority amongst the 60% of the votes. That means that an overwhelming majority of people did not vote for the party in power. However, they all have different beliefs. You have BNP people and Green peo...

I'm rather perturbed by the natural tendency (or at least the media propoganda) that the "Rebels" in the FSA must be good guys worth giving weapons too.

2010: Jenson finishes 26 points behind Lewis 2011: To quote from "The Departed", Lewis reaches for a cranberry juice. 2012: Jenson is lucky to finish 2 points behind Lewis, but on the other hand, he is not unlucky to have so many setup issues. Some Lewis fans are fargone, worse still they state as ...

Lewis beat Jenson.....just. But Jenson more than held his own and was superb in 2011. That counts as success. Most people thought he'd get thrashed, and he didn't. Jenson was good for half a season in 2011 and that is his problem he's always good for half a season and never a complete season and th...

You make a valid argument but the one thing that you shouldnt do is dismiss what Button achieved in his 3 years at McLaren.

As a Jenson fan I would be jumping to his defence. However I felt that he woukd have done bith himself and Sergio a favour by letting him through and not compromising both strategies by fighting on track. As for the racing itself I felt that it was edgy but not over the top. Jenson is certainly not...

If you look at what has actually happened in the races, rather than just the result sheets, you'd see he's given basically nothing. As has been pointed out, Schumacher performed better in the first four races last season, it's just that he sufffered repeated reliability issues and car failures that...

At the very least, it was unsportsmanship. He could have passed Alonso cleanly without the extra body language. Lewis battle with Webber was worthy of emulation.

Not much, Mercedes are suffering from the same old tyre problems. Bahrain GP 2012 - Rosberg 5th Bahrain GP 2013 - Hamilton 5th No gains. I strongly disagree. Hamilton scored more points in the first 4 races than Rosberg and Schumacher combined this time last year. You can even add Rosbergs points f...

Welcome to the forum. Advice, threads like these don't end well in this forum. Threads like what? I don't think it's a very provocative subject It is not provocative, but can be taken as partisan. If you don't mind my asking you a question, is there a way of quantifying Lewis contribution to the car?
