As for Whitmarsh favouring a certain driver, thats simply bollocks.

[hypertek]

Button has impressed me alot with mclaren.. Before his brawn GP championship, i never cared for the guy. But after that motivation/confidence spike after his chanpionship, I love the guy. He has great pace and push for championships now. He knows now that he has the talent to take it to the end.

But i am still more likely to buy Hamilton merchandise , thats my boy!

Why is lewis so sad??? Hmmmm!

well according to you MW is in love with JB, do is Lewis sad because he is jealous?

C'mon race chick read between the lines here Lewis wouldn't be saying good things about the team if he was unhappy with them! He clearly is not happy with the outside pressure on him ATM.

[racechick]

Lewis has had drummed into him that he cant speak his mind else all hell will descend on him. He's deaply unhappy with himself and his perfortmances at the moment. But Whitmarsh not liking him must cut deap with him.

You're sounding like the Alonso brigade back in 07 I believe you were on the side of McLaren not favoring drivers, what's changed? To even say Whitmarsh hates Hamilton is just plain stupid!

[racechick]

I am on the side of mclaren not favouring drivers. Its only whitmarsh as far as I know. And I dont think he stretches as far as doing anything physical, its just coincidence and misfortune that lewis has had bad things happen. But Whitmarsh likes it so much better when Jenson does well and lewis doesnt, and he cant even hide it. I bet he hated lewis gettin half a second on jens today.
I liked Whitmarsh when he took over, thought he was a really nice guy, its only his behaviour thats changed that. And Ive fought against it. But now its just so obvious. And thats why lewis is sad.

[bud]

Lewis is not sad because of that it's all the bad press and scrutinizing that's pissed him off! I don't think he'd give a rats arse about his team principal.

Quite frankly I still don't even buy into this whole conspiracy theory of yours.

[racechick]

I know you don't see it, but I just ask you to watch and listen to Whitmarsh. Actually I really hope Im wrong, Id love to be proven wrong. Becuse if Im wrong then lewis will be ok. If Im right he has little chance of achieving his potential at mcLaren. Id love nothing more than him to win many more championships there. Even today when Lewis brought McLarens first pole for 15races Whitmarsh struggled. "Both drivers did really well" No, one driver did really well, the other on this occassion was half a second behind, he just did ok.
Thats a far cry from previous replys to interviewers asking about lewis. "well lets just think about Jenson, he's done brillant"
This is starting to drive me crazy, Im better not watching tomorrow.

Whitmarsh has supported both drivers throughout the season. One driver has been under fire for various reasons and he's backed him to the hilt - what more do you want Whitmarsh to do? The other driver is getting good results, is 2nd in the championship and is exceeding pre-season expectations and Whitmarsh has been correctly congratulating Button.

He's praising Button and standing-up for Hamilton. What exactly is he doing wrong here?

What exactly is he doing wrong here?

He's not telling us that Lewis is a god and that nobody else on the grid even comes close to his supernatural driving talent, of course. How could you not see it?

Wrong

[McLaren]

I think he gets on well with both.Lewis's problems are far deeper than just F1 or MW ,his head isn't in the right place at the moment.For all we know it could be his love life or anything at all in his life.

[racechick]

His love life is secondary to his racing, thats why he broke it off once. He lives for racing, has done since he was 5. he's now got a pole and beaten Button. But he doesnt look happy to me. So now what is it? Its clear as day to me.

Goo counter argument there.

Care to elaborate Racechick?
