We can clearly see that Lewis overtakes Vettel by taking a racing line outside the white pit-entry lines. I thought drivers should be inside the white lines in the pit entry. Am I wrong or are we witnessing the slaughter of the rules by the FIA???
Oh look, it's Victor Meldrew.....Quote:

As a matter of pure curiosity - without requiring complicated and likely messy surgery, just how does one go about handing someones botty to them?Quote:

I have a lot of respect for both men and neither is handing the other their arse.

I do understand the intangibles that go into a successful F1 career, but from where I sit, Hamilton comes across the least likeable.
As for the handing of the arse, it involves (but not limited to) Button winning twice so far this season, when the popular opinion was that he was the bunny, hired to make the precocious talent look good and run around near the front so the sponsors got some coverage whilst the fortunate son got on with trouncing the field - in short, very definitely a #2 driver.
Yes, Hamilton can drive, yes he has talent, but he lacks quite a bit in the sportsmanship realm (as do many others, I am aware of this). And in my opinion, in this current phase of F1, where sympatico with the car, tyres, fuel burn, conditions, etc are paramount, Button has it all over the fortunate son.
The pressure is very much on Lewis now, and it will increase.
The pressure vill not benefit his driving.
Actually, I think it vill.Quote:
