Yes because everybody could see that with the same car Hamilton is a far better driver and personality

Ive never met either of them so dont really know much about their personality, nor do I really care, I just want to see brits at the top of the sport

I dont mind if its Damon Hill again, who doesnt even have a personality, would just like us to stay at the top after winning both the last two seasons.

Is that a typo?

Hamilton says what he thinks he should say, Button says what he feels and comes across as a good guy in my opinion.

Would be cool, but would never happen

I can imagine a few being surprised by Buttons pace too, taking nothing away from Lewis.

I am a huge Button fan and have been from the start of his F1 career with his test for Prost, however I am a 100% fan of 'Our Nige' and all I can say about Lewis is that I can see some of 'Our Niges' driving in him

Good times for a brits in F1

Aye well all fair and good if they can win a race ... Mclaren didnt do to well the start of the season and theres not Guarentee then can pull it off next year ..

Ide go for the red-bulls .. They based out of Milton Keynes? The pissed a few GPs .. Including the most recent.

Agreed. Heidfeld in with Lewis? Looks like it might be at the moment.

They are indeed.

To be honest its all speculation and I think the last few words sum it up well, its either to get Brawn to pay more or Raikkonen (sp) to make a decision

I wonder if button actually believes himself that he is better than lewis.

If he doesnt, he might not want to go to mclaren

But I suspect he does, to be that good at something you have to be on that confident/arrogant borderline in the first place.

Aye ... All speculation at this time ...

I would bet a donkey to a Gypsie that a UK based team will take the constructors again but drivers ... MM I dont know TBH ...

And Predictions anyone?

Oooh, agressive anti Button post. I suspect unless they produced a fucking terrible car, which they do in cycles ( but last years was it ) then i'd wager that Jenson would hold his own against Hamilton over the course of a season.

That was an just my opinion in this instance, not based on anything my friends in the business tell me, otherwise i'd have been a lot clearer about why

Why dont you fuck off stirring and finish your nova/shed

Ah, you didnt present it as such, you presented it as if it was something you knew what you were talking about.
I guess an "IMO" or similar on the end of the line would have made it easier to read as just a wild guess rather than having some basis in fact, maybe something to bear in mind for future reference


Why dont you fuck off stirring and finish your nova/shed
Cant at the moment as im in work, but still progressing as and when I get the chance, nova made 457bhp on the rollers the other day so is coming along quite nicely now, although as always other commitments eat into my time available like most folk with a fairly involved project.
