Just sayin'.

Not in the Schumacher era my fren.

He had the best car for a few races. One could argue that Newey's chassis was the best in the second half of the season.

This is just crazy talk. Weber is not yet championship material.

Beat rubens when he had car troubles, the straight fight is when rubens consistently out qualified him and won races while Button "struggled" with getting heat into his tires.

Not taking anything from Lewis as I'm a big fan of his, but he still needs time to mature up in the cockpit.
Brawn's strategic decisions got him the WDC and Button had no pace because he's not the fastest driver nor has he ever been. But I must give propz for having the balls to make the call.

Regardless if Lewis complained of tires it's the job of the people behind the wall to determine whether its viable to make a tire change much like Ferrari's wall aided in determining stopping for a 2nd tire change would not help their results.

that's not the point of contention. that other guy was stating lewis didn't say his tires went off at all and that is wrong. im not debating your point.

im merely bringing the conversation back to race as your tone conveyed you were insulting that members intelligence. I don't need my points debated, im just sharing my .02 like every other poster here. My apologies that its not worth your time(insert extreme sarcasm here)

Nobody is smoother than Lewis. His hands are steady - almost no driver input.

Jense is a great driver. But I refuse to put him in the same category as Lewis Hamilton.
Button would have to be the smoothest driver out there, certainly at the pointy end.

Is he as talented as Lewis? Probably not. But they have each got 1 WDC, so we will see where they end up in in a few years.
