racecub - I think you are reading far more into that than there is. Looks to me like Jenson was asked a question by the media and answered it, nothing more, nothing less, especially if you read his comment where he says that he doesn't know whether Lewis is excited or not. He then goes on to praise Lewis' speed..
What more do you read into it?

Sounds like Button is refelcting on how he found it moving into McLaren, you can have all of these grand ideas of how it might be but in reality the job is a lot tougher.
How it is pompous, advisory, full of himslef and accusing Lewis of not achieving good results is beyond me, I can't even find the slightest hint that is what he is intending to do.

Some more sound bites to angst over, if you're that way inclined:

I've missed about 56 pages of rhetoric on this thread. Was that a bad thing?
Seems Jenson is recognising the loss of Lewis in response to a question - interestingly he doesn't seem to feel he'll miss Lewis, but then the vagaries of the McLaren car and tactics have made them each other's most obvious competitor with little hope of a title for a couple of seasons.
However, there's a presentation that I've interpreted to reflect my opinion, and I assume a substantial percentage of the paddock, the inference that Lewis' work is off circuit. This is obviously being the basis of him being with a new new team.
My feeling with Lewis though is that if he was half as good at racding off the track he'd be untouchable, I think Fernando feels the same and I think Jenson at least suspects it. But this is potential, not reality, so for all you breat beaters out there I'm not saying Lewis is unbeatable, just that he has that potential.
By the way, smoothe the rough edges off half the drivers on the F1 grid and the same would be true - Lewis' advantage is he's already fast for a race distance.

No.
2368 posts and nobody can agree so what makes people think they ever will?
I agree
I have written and deleted several responses to this post. I finally settled on this.
This thread was specifically created for the more ardent fans to discuss these two drivers and this subject, due mainly to every other thread with a tenuous link to either driver being hijacked and derailed.
That being the case, it has been hugely successful and has fulfilled its remit admirably.
Forums are for like minded people to discuss subjects they are interested in; a bit like a group of loosely associated people in the pub. If everyone agreed on everything, forums would die very quickly.
Member 1: I think driver X is great.
Member 2: Me too.
Member 3: I agree.
Member 4: What shall we talk about now?
Finally, if a thread subject doesn't interest you then the answer is just don't read or post in it.
If you do wish to post in it, please try and post on the topic rather than about the topic or the members posting in it.
Just watched the replay on Sky, of F1 drivers press conference.....where the autosport quotes came from.
JB looked like the cat who got the cream... sounded pompous..... & I for one definately wouldn't buy anything he was promoting...
He waffled his way through...looked like an impersonation of whifflemarsh.
Edit -the whiffle Whitmarsh talks.
Sorry for melding the two words.

Brogan My post was just an observation that is all, there was no malice or disrespect intended, I include myself in the inability to agree with others I understand completely why this thread exists and respect its function within the forum...
I also realise that some of my recent comments (Not just on this thread.) could be construed as being critical of the actual threads and therefore critical of the person who posted them and for this I apologise and will endeavour not to do so in the future....

Please read the rules and take note of rule 2: http://cliptheapex.com/help/rules-and-guidelines
Silly name calling is not permitted.
Hamilton has proven conclusively that he can help setup the car and out qualify a very experienced team mate on a regular basis. It is a little bit desperate to hold up a rare occurence as a massive brain fart, especially when you consider the fact that there was significant input from McLaren's engineers on the relative performance between the two wings available. It is no coincidence that a week later Lewis was back in front of Jenson in quali.

Sweet sweet moment!!! Someone on the BBC waxing lyrical about Jensons driving, saying he's like an artist and Lewis is too busy, lewis should be more like Jenson.
Lewis then gets a message to pit. Asks why. Is told for a set up change. He says no I want to stay out. He then bangs in a lap 7 tenths faster than anyone else and a second faster than Button. Perfect timing I'd say
I wish Lewis had done more of this sticking to his guns sooner instead of trying to please. Guess he has nothing to loose now.
