He was a sitting duck even if he tried to put up a fight it wouldn't have gotten him anywhere especially exiting the corners without 3rd Jenson would have breezed past him!I was only giving an example bud, not suggesting that was what was literally said, unless you disagree what Mclaren would have been able to code a message?

What, he said that efflinitty? In that case I suppose he was already asking if he needed to let Jenson through (ie initiated by Lewis rather than the team", thanks for clearing that up.

I remember Lewis asked 'Is Jenson faster than me?' thats a sign for team orders!!

Jenson was a joke today. At least I'm assured Mr Hold Station is unlikely to fluke-finish ahead of Lewis this year in the standings.

Ineluke wrote:Okay, not back him up but be a clear 2nd the last two races. Button is just 20ish points behind Hamilton, so surely he can take points from Hamilton. Is it your opinion that if Button is in front of Hamilton, then he should be allowed to be there and the team should not manipulate a change? How they go about that, is of course many way. They can tell the drivers beforehand, in the pits or do it as obvious as Ferrari did it.Troyron wrote:Hammer278 wrote:Lewis doesn't need Jenson to back him up....when has Jenson been in a position to back him up!?

He did answer the question, which part didn't you understand?
Ill repeat it for ya.
No, Mclaren don't need to back Lewis because Lewis can do it himself. Jenson couldn't back his own girl up right now let alone Lewis.
Lewis don't need no help from Button.
Their will be no excuses for the button fans this season, they have had equal treatment from start to finish.
