bud I like your new avatar. I can't tell though is it Lewis or Button poking from the cockpit? I think I see a red T bar but I'm not sure.

Darren Heath photograph from Brazil, it's Jenson.

Gotta laugh at all the Bitter Hamilton fans concerns for McLaren still, you're too kind 31st of December has passed... He no longer belongs to McLaren so you should put your bitter energy levels into Lewis' new "mediocre" team.
You'll need it all!

Sorry bud, that wasn't really an attack on McLaren. Just expressing my surprise at how a team can lose focus when an average Joe with a huge mouth joins the team and disrupts their efficiency by a margin.

I'm just teasing the Truth hammer, I'm not serious... I Still like Lewis and will be hoping Merc give him a good car as i'll be rooting for him after McLaren.

We will see how Mercedes gets on then

Well they should move forward. They've put extra resources in , got new engineers, a top line driver who can drag a less than perfect car up the grid, and no motormouth distracting from the plan.

I take it you can't remember how Rosberg carried on at Williams!

Providing they have the resources to do it, I expect to see a McLaren 2009 style from them. Lewis was leading McLaren that season clean and clear, and he brings team forwards. Unlike his ex teammate who has got into great cars and I've only see them go in reverse.

no. I can't remember Rosberg ever running his mouth off like Button. Don't tell me there's another one in the pipeline nah surely not.

I just remember a lot of complaining from him in '09...

[Hammer278]

Wasn't that his rookie season? I can't remember anything from him...the most I've heard him talk is about how he's beaten Schumacher the past 3 years. He's repeated this everytime a mike is in his face. No whinging there though, just facts.

Rosberg's debut was in 2006...

Rosberg's debut was in 2006...

And fastest lap in his first race in Bahrain! I've always remembered that for some reason...

[scotty]

Yeah in '09 he was constantly moaning about the car even though it had solid relative pace, better in fact than his current car towards the end of 2012. He made a lot of comments that suggested he thought he was bigger than the team, which was arrogant and lame considering where he was (and still is really) in his career. He should have just shut it and got on with the job imo.

I cant argue with you Scotty because I can't remember. What I do remember is liking Rosberg and that his father didnt want him pairing with Hamilton.
More recently, when the press have suggested his real test comes next year, his reply is always, as Hammer pointed out, I've just beaten a 7 time world champion, is that not test enough? And when the press tried to make early mischief between him and Hamilton ( when Rosberg said they had a great chance next year after Lewis had said he expected little from next year) Rosbergs reply was ...maybe Lewis is being cautious. I've learnt not to respond to such press questions. That's very different to a guy who takes every opportunity to score points over his team mate through the press.

"This track (fill in the GP) should suit the Williams."
Remember that? And then he was sh!te, again...

[stonemonkey]

If Nico can't beat him fairly Lewis better be checking his pants before the race.

I’ve known Lewis since I was 12 years old. I once got him before a race by smearing Tiger Balm into his underpants — that stuff burns!

I hope it was before he put them on.
