F1 Poll: Can Jenson Button Edge Lewis Hamilton At McLaren?

Interesting question.

Can Jenson do what 2-time WDC Alonso could not do and handle Lewis' mental toughness?

That will certainly be the key.

Hate to say it, but with out everyone at Brawn. Button is a joke.

Prepare for a shocker. It won't matter since Schumi will be #1 overall.

I'm not sure "Lewis' mental toughness" is the phrase I would have used ... I heard a lot of choking in the final races of that '07 season, and it is undeniable that Lewis got special treatment.

Don't get me wrong, he's a talent - but not 1 bit more so than Alonso.

Without Newey on aero or Brawn as technical director, just about every team is a joke.

I agree 100%

I don't think Lewis out-toughed Fernando, he was certainly the favoured driver and Alonso didn't do himself any favours.
