    Lewis Hamilton is rooting for Jenson Button to fly the flag at this weekend's British Grand Prix.

    In an uncompetitive McLaren, Hamilton appreciates he has no chance of repeating his stunning triumph of last year when he trounced the opposition by 68 seconds but is hoping to see Button continue his seemingly relentless march towards this season's crown and claim another victory.

    "His lifelong dream is to win the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and I'm sure it will be more special for him than his win at Monaco last month. I know it was for me."

    Hamilton added: "Last year was clearly incredible for me. I don't know how we won by a minute and eight seconds," reflected Hamilton.

    "Every time I went past the grandstands I could see out of the corner of my eye the fans waving flags and cheering, even though it was soaking wet, raining non-stop.

    "It was the most fulfilling race of my whole life, and the amount of support was very special. As for this weekend, I'm just going to make sure I enjoy it and embrace the fans because they were so supportive.

    "Unfortunately, this year I've just not got the car. I've had to adjust from last year because it's a struggle just to get into the points.

    "I'm still going to be gunning, pushing as hard as I can, all out, like I do every race, but I know I'll be mid-field somewhere, which is to be expected,

    "So from my perspective it will be great if Jenson wins. I'm egging him on, and I guess I should put some money on him.

    "It will be a proud moment to have a fellow Brit win, and I'll be able to understand exactly how he is feeling."



    Go Button ! :D

    Could care less about Lew-Ham & Button, love to see them in a pile up at the first corner.

    Let's see anything but Brawn ! How about a FERRARI !!!!

    Hamilton hopes Button can win?!?! Um, Hammy, he's damn-near swept the season so far and should be a favorite this weekend too. Nice of you to pull for a countryman, but worry about your own affairs, chap!

    Hamilton didn't have to say anything, so kudos to him for being gracious about it. As for Mr. ScuderiaP1, the correct phrase is 'could NOT care less'...and your anger management class is at 6am Saturday morning...be there!

    Chris - we like Ferrari, we root for Ferrari, we love our motorsports, but we would NEVER wish anyone would crash.
    But it is fair to say you hope someone blows up a motor at the first corner. Subtle difference.

    I had to check your profile out as I first thought you were about twelve.

    Grow up mate. I'm a huge ferrari fan, but I can appreciate the efforts of others, like most others here can too.

    I'm already bored with Button running away with it, here's crossing my fingers to see Felipe pick up his first win this season.

    What is a elefant? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elefant_(band) If they have a ticket for a plane then I guess they can fly.

    Are you saying you didn't understand my post, it's pretty simple really.






    OK, I would love it if Buttons Merk lump exploded and took out Lew-Ham in the first corner ! Is that better ?






    To each his own, I don't give a **** about Button or Lew-ham, deal with it pal. I did enjoy the efforts of Vettel, is that grown up enough for you ?

    I hope I spelled everything correctly for all you nits
