This equality BS at McLaren is killing their chances JB is tooooooooo damnnnnnnn slowwwwwww

Lewis basically had 2 more stops than him and still finished ahead. JB ruined both their races today

Dunno about that, Lewis shouldn't have screwed up at the start though I do think it's possible that Mclaren might have to make some decision sooner rather than later if they want to have a chance of anything this season, something Ferrari won't have any qualms in doing.

I fault Lewis 100%,but because he's trying to WIN!

WTF is Button doing? What are his priorities? Do you or anyone really believe Button has a chance at WDC? But you know what.............MAC can win "Fair Team of the Year" award while RBR racks up their WDC/WCCs.

MAC needs to realize soon that Lewis is a driver of Sennas and Schueis caliber and put their eggs in one basket.

Whatever the reason, it was Lewis who messed up on the first lap, not Jensons or Mclarens fault so a bit unfair to say JB ruined both their races.

thats almost bordering on fanboyism....

Jenson trying to fend off a faster Lewis messed up his own strategy,lost time on the rivals,and cooked Lewis' tires! How is Macca/JB not to blame? They could have fought for 3rd.

Fanboyism???

Tell that to Schumacher and his 7 titles or Vettel and his soon to be 2. McLaren dont deserve Lewis!

[F1er]

To further explain my point
Ferrari built their team around Schumi,Red Bull seem to have done the same with Vettel, Renault&Ferrari with Alonso.................while Macca still don't give Lewis the same deserving status. JB needs to realize soon that he will NEVER beat Lewis except an odd race here n there,and I hope Macca do the same if they want to win any title.

I don't disagree with that, I even wrote:

But I think in this case it's unfair to accuse Jenson of ruining Lewis' race when Lewis did that himself on the first lap. They might be on the same team but they're both racers and WDCs and don't forget the fallout from Germany last year, I know the rules have changed since but a lot of the flak was about Ferrari pulling that one so early in the season.

Mclaren are "better" then that, they can win titles without the favouring (granted theyve done it before),

Also, some of the best drivers ever had barren years, Senna only won 3 titles in 9 years, Prost had to wait four years for another title, lauda had a SEVEN year gap between his titles.


Its pretty normal that Lewis hasnt won every year since 2008, hes still got ages left and worthy drivers ALWAYS end up finishing their career with their deserved number of titles, so dont worry about Lewis......


....Worry that the man most likely to win this years titles doesnt have to do much to earn them!

"I got stuck behind Jenson and damaged my tyres trying to get past so I pitted. I had to pit way too early at my first pitstop I think, and then at one of the stops we lost a lot of time.''

"I felt that I recovered reasonably well considering how much time I lost throughout the race," he said.

"I feel quite happy with the way the car was behaving. I just apologised to the guys - they worked as hard as they could. We were definitely able to do better today."


Go find Jenson's wines yourselves!

[F1er]

Ok Ok

So how can McLaren salvage any title this season? Thats why they race you know,not for driver equality!

I say support Lewis 100%,and I don't say this because I'm his fan,but because I want to win. No wonder Vettel is super confident he is defacto #1 and has everyone from the team owner,principal and Mr.Newey as well behind him. Lewis has to please slow a@@ Button

Now, let me see if i understand this correctly: you guys want Mclaren to start favouring Lewis over Jenson... although theres only been 4 races gone by??

That is the exact same reason why Ferrari and countless others did not give a flying about the noise and outrage the Macca equal-driver brigade had only a few months ago. Bunch a Hypocrites is what they are.

Desperate times need desperate measures Last year same time Vettel only had 40+ odd points.................he almost has 100 now! If Jenson is running 1st and Lewis 2nd I don't care for, he can keep it,because he's taking points off Vettel!! But when he's too f****** slow and holding his teammate up, he's not doing anyone any favors.

You crack me up

[F1er]

You crack me up

I know
but seriously Jenson is becoming a thorn in everyone's arse. Last race he screwed Lewis too you know but it was no biggie coz Ham won

I didn't know they had THAT kind of relationship

[Fact Man]

What happened to Mclaren's no favoritism system?

Hamilton ruined his race and paid the price. What about the fact that button does not work for hamilton!

It is only 4 races and a Hamilton/mclaren fan calling for favoritism.

On the other hand, it was great seeing alonso on the podium. I believe vettel told Alonso at the end of the race:" where did you come from?" I thought that was funny.
