Hamilton knows fully that he is driving that Mclaren with an elf on its back! He will be thrown with the usual dose of slow pitstops and his strategy will be messed up! In plain language Hamilton does not trust his own team, they have proven time and again to be pathetic and hopelessly incompetent.
I only deal with facts, tomorrow you can bet your bottom dollar Hamilton's pitstops will be in the mid 4s while Buttons will be mid 3s, there is going to be some cockup with strategy to the disadvantage of Hamilton and not Button. Button will pit earlier than Hamilton to do the undercut, which clearly was not afforded to Hamilton. I have seen Button do this countless number of times where he was struggling with tyres and pitted earlier than the leading driver, but when it comes to Hamilton , as was the case in Australia where he was loosing time more than Button on worn out rubber, they will never allow this to happen!
But again Hammy congrats, you the top dog and its scares the living daylights out of them! Unfortunately until the world experiences a cultural change this sort of things will continue to happen.

sounds reasonable to me tsheporam. sometimes i find though as a sports fan - or when you are particualry into anything really - it is possible to start to see things that arent there. im not saying you are wrong (i simply dont know), but it is possible.
my recomendation would be that you continue to enjoy your formula one, and continue supporting leiws hamilton, but try to enjoy the overall specatacle of the event more rather than just concentrating on one driver.
if he is as great as you think, the chances are that over the course of his career it will come through.
besides, no other sportsman could possibly be as unlucky as nigel mansell.

I am a man of facts and numbers, on my screen when Hamilton pits 4.2.s comes up most of the time and 3.5 or less for Button. Now those are facts. How many times has mclaren screwed up Hamilton's strategy, they have even tried some really desperate stuff like in Monaco 2011 where they called him in only to find nobody there, fictitious puncture, debri stuck in his front wing, hydraulic failure, putting him on the wrong tyres countless number of times?
Before adopting any patronizing tone pls try to be sober when watching the races!

Most of us are paying a fortune to watch formula 1, so its only fair that we demand a quality show! It happens in soccer and all other sports so I don't see what the fuss is all about in formula 1, this is not cricket a so called 'gentleman 's game'

Another day, another tsheporam article i'm not gonna read, just one star and move on.
As i said on tsheporam's last article i hope the motorsports forum on Ja606 increases in popularity and members, hopefully in the end we'll hardly be able to hear this clowns views.

i dont know what the set up is with maclaren at the moment. i would be surprised if they were favouring one driver, but i dont know.
all this has got me thinking though.....who was in the team before button ?
it was kovalinan wasnt it ? that's right, hamilton and kovalinan.
and before that ? hamilton and alonso. world champion, fernando alonso.

Albert Morgan in ur simplistic and narrow view we must be like a bunch of zombies, accepting anything dished at them without question, all in the name of maintainig an appearance of a sensible supporter?

Because he knows he will bottle it on race day. The most overrated driver on the grid.
