    Former driver, but the more Lauda opens his yam, the more I dislike him.

    There's a world of difference between dislike and hate.

    Oh crap, he's back...

    Figured you'd have enough time to think about your posts on your little vacation so they wouldn't be so ridiculous upon your return but it looks like I was wrong.

    Can't we all just get along?

    That goes for ALL sides... we set a bad example as tifosi when we bait fans of other teams...

    Oh come on, with Hamilton's recent string of gaffes I had to get a couple shots in :)

    I heard enough from the Alonso haters during the summer part of the season...

    SO, back to Button's performance this year...

    Massa has been handed his coat by Alonso. The same has not befallen Button by Hamilton.

    The man releases a bit of steam after being released from confinement.
    I would have thought you'd have had some empathy ;)

    button's gotten a couple of very lucky wins, and lewis has really screwed himself out of the championship, but i will admit JB is doing better than i thought he would. he's consistently quick and fighting with the front runners. he's a great fit for mclaren, i just don't want him as my number 1.

    Agreed. Button is the best #2 anyone can want in terms of performance, plus when the cards are right he can eek out the odd win. Kinda like Berger or Watson in their day.

    Not the guy to fire up a team, IMHO.

    Welcome back Steve, but the Trolls on ignore and you will have a much better time. That advice has served me well. Great to have you back.

    Sure Hamilton can extract more out of the car than Button, but I still think Button is more intelligent than Hamilton.

    Remember China? Who stayed out on dry tires? :)

    Hammi has the pure raw speed and aggression.
    Jenson has the experience and patience.
    A great pairing of drivers.
    Best of any team including Red Bull where they come off as opponents.

    I still think that Webber and Vettel will wind up beating each other to death with their steering wheels before the season is over.

    IF!! you had stated that at the start of this thread, it would have been very impressive, however now I suppose it still is a fair bet.

    I don't think he will though, Last Chance Saloon for both them for in the WDC hopes, 1-2 finishes and Redbull and Ferrari DNF's..
