I dont think anyone's stated here that hes an "infalible God". Everyone makes mistakes and no doubt Lewis will make more. But he and jenson respect each other. They are both genuine. Not to say they wont question things or that there wont be misunderstandings. Ive heard Lewis question situations and Ive heard Jenson when he's not happy too. Best driver pairing on the grid tho, on and off the track.


I still tell you... its all a matter of who's winning in the 1-2's. If it had been Button, Lewis would have been making some deal out of it. They may have respect ofr eachother, they may both be genuine... but if Button had gotten a better strategy (or better Q) in Canada and beat him... or if jenson had held on to win Turkey... how about that little engine issue wi/ jenson in Monaco? there would certainly be some venom.

But right now, the best driver pairing on the grid... on and off the track. There you have a good point :) a few more races to go though... so let's see.

Bit too soon to predict a golden age per say. They were completely outclassed by Redbull in Turkey on pace, Redbull were 1-2 until a brain fade by both drivers.

Canada is a circuit tailormade for this years McLaren chassis. I expect McLaren to be 2nd best in Valencia as that is a glorified (spelled: dead boring) Monaco which should suit the Redbull's and Ferraris more. McLaren has a 'longer' chassis this year than the other 2 which is a bit of a disadvantage in tight/twisty circuits. I believe the drivers make a difference for them, as Ferrari have Massa (he's at 70% of himself since the accident) and Redbull has Vettel (wins from the front).


There's a lot of updates though... by everyone. But Red Bull should be the best in Valencia, Mclaren will prob do better than they did in Monaco.

Very funny... but if you want to make a connection, picture the same scenario when Lewis made his comments to the team when Jenson won w/ the strategy... then bring that back to Hungary 07 during Q. And also during the Monaco GP of that same yr. That was the same venom that initiated the fallout, which doesnt happen now ONLY because Jenson and mclaren now have the experince and Mclaren is a different team with the experience to handle it, and without Ron Dennis and the relationship between him and Lewis.... That is why things are ok now.

Now there you go. Alonso didnt put up with him; it was a bit immature, but that little scene cost him that championship (which would have ended with him BEATING Lewis had it not been for the penalty he got on that particular episode). So the real mistake by Alonso was not having the maturity to handle the venomous little snake(*).

Today in 2010: Jenson, Mclaren (and Alonso) know better........

(*) Sounds like something Luca di Montezemolo would say... :hehe::wink:

Wrong . Things are ok now because both drivers can accept that there is a level playing field and neither will get favours. They get what they get on merit. Alonso couldnt accept equal status with a fast rookie. Lewis is no snake, he wont be walked over but he doesnt want favours anymore than Jenson does. These guys want to win on track,want to be the best. Alonso couldnt handle that.

Hamilton was all over Webber for many laps up until they pitted, where Redbull found their advantage in the hands of their lightning fast pit-crew. Then Webber had breathing space and Vettle took 2nd. So I don't agree with you there, it was really tight. Though I would guess that Vettle would have won if it wasn't for the collision.

That depends on what equal status means. And if the meaning of equal status changed after Ron left. Whatever it is... we'll see if or once Jenson starts getting more pts than Lewis. From what has been seen so far... a couple of wins from Jenson will likely start a little rant and pouting rampage. So, just you wait...

I doubt that. He lost a clear second place due to wheel failure. No pouting. Jenson has already won a couple of races...and they get on fine. No pouting.

I don't agree with myself either, what I meant was on strategy. :hehe: And in terms of pace I believe they were about equal, Lewis was losing time throughout the whole lap and gaining it all back on the back straight thanks to the F-duct.

I agree, Vettel would have taken that race easy if Webber was a bit less 'unyielding' let's say. Though it goes down as an unfortunate racing incident in the general view. A fortunate one from my viewpoint as Lewis capitalised. :D

He did indeed say it...and he was indeed correct. I find it note worthy that you didn't dispute any of his facts. Because each was dead on accurate.

its a lot easier to call something nonsense than to make sense yourself.

I doubt that. He lost a clear second place due to wheel failure. No pouting. Jenson has already won a couple of races...and they get on fine. No pouting.


I've never said he pouts whenever he loses. Also, havent said they dont get along, I did say they do get along now because Jenson and the team know better. Look at the examples I gave. There's no assumptions of anything, and you will see that there HAS been pouting.
