Some snippets of goss about the silver team

Lewis believes without any shadow of a doubt that he's the fastest F1 driver. He should have more titles to reflect this but says thats now all "woulda could shoulda". he feels time is passing and his one ambition is to win more titles.

Button also believes Hamilton is the fastest F1 driver. But this is not something he readily admits in public. He does think he can beat him though despite this. Why? The way he has turned team hamilton into team Button while Hamilton was dismissing his father and getting into other hot water off the race track.Inside the motorhome it was as though Hamilton had joined Buttons team and not vice versa. Hamilton often took refuge from his turbulent times in camp Button.

The engineers love Button-quality feedback that they didnt get with hamilton.

However as the season went on Hamilton's raw speed come to the fore and he ended up the more accomplished driver.

Last year was the first time Button had a car not desigened around him, he said he felt he was sitting on top of it rather than in it. This years he has had input, the team have listened to him and the car is to his liking.

Button realises looking at Hamilton's telemetry that if he were to work more closely with his engineers then everyone else might as well pack up and go home.

Hamilton has mended his relationship with his father..and his girlfriend and is now solely focused on winning.

Button fully expects to be fighting throughout the championship.

Both seem to love the new car.

Chit chat over :thumbup:

Am I the only one here who knew all this anyway?

It was from an article in the Sunday times and the driver quotes are from the McLaren unveiling. Honoured that you think I cud have made it all up :D

Taken from interviews. Much is in quotes.

If you pay attention to everything they say and the team says, and everything that goes on, you can pick this stuff up.

Excuses for what? All it does is state some facts about what went on last year and in the preparations fort this season. It's no secret that Jenson was prevented from involvement with McLaren until January 1 2010.

I posted some stuff that was in an article in the sunday times and was gleaned from the drivers at the launch and as Jensonb says by watching and listening.
Im not a JB fan Im a lewis fan. And delighted to hear that Jenson thinks Lewis has the potential to blow away the whole grid if he gets focused with the engineers. But theres no point denying jensons strengths and accomplishments as well.

Found some more snippets..

"I wouldn't single out any driver out there because there's five world champions, there's other drivers that could also be champions and who all want it just as much," said Hamilton. "I want it, we all want it as much as the other guy.

"None of them worry me. I know I can beat whoever I go up against. I don't have a worry for anyone. The only concern can be that you don't have the car beneath you to do the job but I think that we do."

I'm interpreting this as Button saying that if Hamilton were to work closer with his engineers then every other driver may as well go home?
