What's this implying? Boy if i posed this of any other driver..
Anyway button has more points. But it doesn't really phase any Hamilton fan.
Hamilton didn't lose on inferior talent or pace.
He lost thanks to back luck and mistakes. Such is life.
I know Button fans would have loved for Button to actually have been the quicker of the 2. But Button hasn't raced Hamilton for a win this year or good finishes.
He succeeds when Hamilton has a messed up weekend.
So i don't really feel any loss of such. Just realized Hamilton took too long to realize that with DRS and KERS, you don't fight, you let things happen.
Fighting for position and driving hard doesn't bring good results like it did a year a go.
So in that respect he was too naive.
The other thing is i realize he is very soft. Alonso is cold blooded animal, which is what Hamilton should aim to be. He let the media get to him, and also the stewards get to him.
So i will change avatar but i, like most fans, aren't shocked or anything. We saw the season and we saw all the opportunities that were dashed away.
I still don't think Hamilton can be beaten head to head. Or he will reach a point where he accepts that his teammate is faster than him.
This season was a mess, and even Massa could have got more points than Hamilton.
Still the fastest driver in F1, and still has the mentality that only wins matter.
That was a weakness as well, as the focus was Vettel and Vettel alone.
All or nothing i guess.
