There both pretty good but lewis definitly has more Championship Wins from karting.

Also Jenson only won Formula Ford wheras Lewis won Renault, F3 and GP2

Since you wanted to compare.

[EwanM]

Jenson had only one season in F3 and went straight into F1.
Besides never base argument on figures. They only tell half the story. Jenson's Brit F3 season was full of strong drives in a slower team dogged with alot of bad luck!

Jenson entered a wider variety of Karting events, so that's irrelevant.

Jenson did not enter Formula 3000 (As it then was), so Lewis's GP2 results are not relevant in a comparison either. Nor are they actually pertinent to a discussion about Karting full stop.

I think Lewis entered just as varied karting circles.

He's got more Karting Championships anyway so your wrong.

I said Jenson was a better Karter, I did not say more successful. So no, I am not wrong.

"Not three, two. Ayrton Senna and Jenson Button." - Paul Lemmens

That was in Jensons book mate which came out around 03 Lewis wasn't even heard of then.

You can't compare.

Clearly you didn't read the list of Lewis' karting championships that you posted. Had you done so, you'd have seen that Lewis' karting career was finished with in 2001 and that in 2002 (a year before the book was written!) he was in Formula Renault UK. So you can quite easily compare. You just don't want to for fear of Lewis not being the best.

1. The quote could of been made years before the book was released.

2. You can't compare the drivers on the statment of one person.

[Jensonb]

Look, whatever, if longbow thinks Lewis is better, who cares?

We can quite happily think otherwise.

To be fair your running around posting s*** against Hamilton in Every post and then telling eveyrone how good Jenson is in another.

Its not like i'm doing that, i'm saying Lewis has more championships in Karting thatn Jenson but its hard to compare because 1. there diffrent and 2. they never raced.

The closest we got to seeing them race in the same machine was the ROC.

But to be fair Lewis match Jensons time in Top Gear, IN THE WET (with OIL)

"Yeah, well, Jenson may be better in [F1/karting/whatever] but Lewis is faster in a REASONABLY PRICED CAR!!!!11!!11!"

I use a Suzki Liana for all Comparisons for F1 Drivers.

Just need to get Schui on it then Lewis back in the dry to beat him and all will be settled.
