AlexJames Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 That's upset me. Not fans of those 2 guys I have highlighted and don't think they deserve to drive those cars Really, Iv always liked Hamilton, and not so much liked Button... but I think this could be a good season... it gives hamilton a good chance to show button up we havent had a double brit team since Hill and that other dude in Lotus! But... I am excited to see what Ayrtons son will do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I agree, ok with Hamilton its Button I dislike. At least Hamilton can show him up each race . Be interesting to see actually who is the better driver. I bet I can foresee who will out qualify who each race. What happenned to BRAWN racing?

AJI Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Why the dislike of Button? He is a good commited driver. He showed good composure during last season where it looked like it might slip away from him. He has gone up a lot in my list of drivers. I always thought that given the car he would show what he is made of. The Brawn team have been bought out by Mercedes by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that given the car he would show what he is made of. The Brawn team have been bought out by Mercedes by the way. Because he was incredibly arrogant when he came to F1 despite being a relatively terrible driver in F1 terms. Yet he maintained this cocky flash "I deserve this seat" attitude. Think most people who hate him do for the same reason. Its only when he realised how bad he was continously being at the back his fat ego eventually got shot down. Granted he won last year, or should I say his car won last year. He did seem far more composed that year, but he in my mind he still doesn't appear to come across as genuine but very fake. Just my opinion anyway. Interesting news about BRAWN though. YAY - my 3000th post! Pity it had jenson button in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Kenny Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I can't really see how you can say he was a terrible driver when he started in F1. On his first go at Spa, he outqualified Michael Schumacher, and that's arguably his favourite track. He's not been very good at driving around problems, which is why Trulli showed him up in the Benetton which was a dog, but generally speaking he's beaten every team mate he's ever had - including Jacques Villeneuve, who although isn't the best driver, certainly isn't terrible.

YAY - my 3000th post! Pity it had jenson button in it I know what you are saying to an extent. Although most F1 drivers are arrogant and ride on a huge ego which will inevitably pop at some point. I do think up until last year howeveer that Button had not had a 'fighting chance' to show what he can do. And although you say his car won last year, it still meant he beat a proven credible driver in the name of Rubens. The 2010 championship is going to be hard to call in terms of who is going to be up in the top half of the table. There are a lot of unknowns again, and probably a few new suprises.

Schuey must've had rock hard tyres or something. He hasn't had that great team mates though either to be honest. Villeneueve is another man who relies on 'the car'. Well we'll see what happens this season. It was his cockiness without results which annoyed me most at any rate. I don't mind if you are new and learning the ropes, and as a result may struggle to get near the front etc.. But to come in flashing around in designer glasses and super model girlfriends trying to make the statement you are the man finishing at the back is not something I look up to. You didn't see the greats of this sport doing that. Schuey never did that, nor did Senna, nor did Mansell, etc. etc. - especially when starting out. Just a pleb. Always full of excuses as well when he crashed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Villeneueve is another man who relies on 'the car'. Yes, I heard having a sh*t car isn't quite as good. But to come in flashing around in designer glasses and super model girlfriends trying to make the statement you are the man finishing at the back is not something I look up to. Apparently Susan Boyle turned Button & his millions down so he had to make do with Jessica M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 so lookign forward to seeing button and hami up agaist each other. Your team orders are wrong though, for example, Mclaren are not above Merc as Merc/Brawn were world champions this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
