no because mclaren has reportedly spend all their money to buy tickets for the ark for 2012 but in the 2013 season they will be the only team so there should comfortably win the championship

Could he? Yes, of course.

Will he? Well, if I knew that I wouldn't tell anyone until after putting a huge bet down... :lol:

Why not create threads that have proper naming instead of just one word that won't describe anything?? It would be much more logical. :wink:

I have never been a great fan of Jenson Button but the fact is that even though i'm a great fan of Hamilton i must admit that Button is better in terms of racing strategies but in terms of driving skills that's another thing

Hamilton is rattled by the realisation that Button has the ability to make better in-race decisions and is coming out on top (and long may it stay that way). He must be missing his Uncle Ron. :lol:

If a few drivers have an off day or bin the car of course he will have a shot at a win. Kind of hard not to win when you have the fastest car isn't it?

Button does not make better in race decisions... all he does is Zig when everyone else zags.

Remember last race... It wasnt only Hamilton who pitted, but MS & FA, and both red bulls... multiple WDC's and top drivers/teams... Button and his built into his brain weather station is not all smarter or better than all of them.

There is only 1 thing going on in Button's head... ---, they are all better than me so I better take whatever chances to Zig when every body else Zags.

Button? In race decision? How bout he make an In race decision to pass somebody... when was the last time he did that? I seem to remember Hamilton passing him on track 2 or 3 times already this year... Button hasn't passed him once yet.

Lucky wins, both of them, How some of you could be giving Button so much credit to "predicting" the rain borders on blasphemy... as if he has a direct line to the Creator who controls all that.

Button merely takes the slow drivers bet and came up Gold twice, with the help of a Vettle DNF and a Rosberg Mistake.

Button hasn't done much overtaking because he hasn't needed to...

Sure, there may be an element of luck involved in making risky tyre calls, but whichever way you look at it, he's won two races to Hamilton's zero.

I have great appreciation for Lewis skill as a racer; he is awesomely quick, no doubt. But he can still learn a thing or two when it comes to racecraft.

well , islamatron says button is where he is due to luck , and ashley agrees
and ross brawn says it's because he is a great driver

so I have to figure out who is best placed to know the truth
could be hard ..I don't think
no ...button is world champ because we gave him a great car , you notice

So Button didnt need to pass anyone in Bahrain or Malaysia? He certainly did, but he could not, because his passing skills suck, I remember him outbraking himself trying to pass a rookie Kobay last year while driving the best car on the grid.

There is nothing that Hamilton needs to learn from Button in regards to race craft... if he did so he would only be taking steps backward.

Button may merely be reaping the reward of having Hamilton's engineers from the last couple years.

Even with Button's 2 lucky wins if anyone thinks that his driving has been anywhere close to what Hamilton has done this year is clearly deluded.

Everyone is marveling at Button's "amazing tire calls" but yet fails to recognize that those calls were only good enough for second place and Vettle's DNF and Rosberg's mistake is what truly gifted him those wins.

I am much more impressed with Button outqualing Hamilton in Austrailia and China than with his 2 lucky wins... although it seemed that hamilton was having some sort of techical problem both times.

I am more impressed by the fact that button came into the team late on and is driving a car which has really been tailored to hamilton's style

a bit like schu coming into a team and driving a car not tailored to him

notice the difference in results ?

btw , button was going to win anyway , if you look at the rate the RB was using tyres vettel was going to have to stop anyway ...try reading the bridgestone race report

and rosberg used up his tyres to keep ahead of button , he wasn't going to stay ahead until the end

Yes, just like lst years McLaren was designed to suit "Hamilton's style"

That "design to driver" crap has been discussed to death on this forum and the most intelligent of us has realized that it is mostly utter BS.

Now as to BS's "predictions".... they are just that
