Lewis may be more worried about internal politics.
In the past, he had the Spaniard and then the Finn as team mates.
They were not English, but foreigners inside lewis's "native" team

And RD the godfather is no longer around to protect him....run off in part by Lewis himself...

and worse of all, he now has an English team mate who is as Brit as Lewis the Brit himself....and everyone says Button is the lesser driver, so Button has nothing to lose and everything to win by merely winning a few races.

I was always think it is better to be the hunter than the hunted....Lewis probably does not drive as fast when looking over his shoulder.

add in the outburst for all the world to hear about his team over the radio, and then after the race quotes of ""To sum up the race I think I probably had one of the drives of my life and unfortunately, due to the strategy, I was put further back....."

and then asked whose decision the second stop had been, Hamilton replies, "I don't know, we'll find out....."

What an ego.....wonder if it were WM himself? Guess lewis will just have to whip his butt into shape....

Hummm....do some remember Davey Ryan flying under the bus and how the team "mislead" poor Lewis into lying just last year....

Difference is that this year, there is an Englishman as a team mate, who has demonstrated an ability to win a WDC when given the right car, who has not dumped on his Mac team last year, and not this year,

Add in 2010 results to date: the current total is one win to none....Hummmm

I agree, but still I hope that there won't be animosity in the team.

I agree, but still I hope that there won't be animosity in the team.

It's going to happen and very soon. Hammy has no time or patience for any team-mate.

ioan, it seems that when Jenson wins from pole, it's the car, when he wins not from pole, it's luck. This is, forgive me, not serious. It is clear that the guy is very talented, he is a WDC, maybe not as Prost, but then again, few drivers in history are on that level. I personally don't find Lewis to be as great as Senna either. But both him and Jenson are very good drivers and the battle between them looks promising.

Thats the general idea!!

The Jenson resenters are something that Jens's Barmy Army have had to endure for years. It comes with the territory. Like the Nigel Mansell haters.

Now they have all lapsed into a sort of cognitive dissonance led by the media. I am sure today the Jenson resenters must have been just besides themselves in confusion

I do wonder HOW Mark "up the arse of Lewis" Hughes, the Autosport grand prix editor Hamilton apologist is going to spin this grand prix on how wonderful his little pet was. I am sure he will find a way.

The 2009 Italian Grand Prix remains his "piece de resistance" and Autosport reached a new ridiculous low as he wrote how amazing Hamilton was that day.

Forgive me for not wanting to listen to fanboyism and believing what I see rather than your opinion. Don't take it personally, it's just MY OPPINION. Take it or leave it, I don't care.

I don’t agree with you Ioan, Button drove a very very impressive race.

What exactly was impressive?
His speed? NO
His overtaking moves? NO.
His excellent pace in the damp? NO.

I think Kubica was far more impressive, as was Vettel before his brake let go.

But again, this is just about how I see it. And if you think he drove an impressive race, than so be it.

[Goksiodiffeli]

His speed? NO
His overtaking moves? NO.
His excellent pace in the damp? NO.

Indeed.

He was slower than Hamilton
He didnt overtake anyone
When it was wet, he was destroyed by Hamilton and was so slow that he chose to pit in order to not get embarrassed anymore, but lucked out.

Haha, they say everything is in the eye of the beholder, maybe they are right

[standaman]

He would have most likely beaten Vettel anyway, judging by Webber having to stop again, and that vettel wears his tyres typically more than Mark does.

What else did you see in your crystal ball?

[standaman]

Haha, they say everything is in the eye of the beholder, maybe they are right

Not maybe, they are right in 99% of the cases.

[enrisaabsotte]

What else did you see in your crystal ball?

Do you not see the hypocracy? He said "most likely" and you're slating him, whereas you state quite catagorically that Vettel would have won and expect nobody to disagree with you

Oh goodness you couldn't make it up.

[Goksiodiffeli]

What else did you see in your crystal ball?

My crystal ball tells me there will be many tears and losses for button fans this season from here on, possibly even a suicide or two

[standaman]

Do you not see the hypocracy?

I do, yours.

You remind me of Prof. Trelawney.

[enrisaabsotte]

I do, yours.

Are we three years old and in a playground now?

[dexterljohnthefinanceguy]

It's going to happen and very soon. Hammy has no time or patience for any team-mate.

I hope that he has matured, although I doesn't seem so. And hopefully Jenson will be able to take the heat. He took well the outbursts of Barrichello, but Lewis is worse IMO.

[standaman]

Are we three years old and in a playground now?

Not me.

[Peter Hill]

We have a similar contrast in styles as there was between the two, but to be honest, I don't think either man is up to that level yet.

that doesn't mean it won't be a fantastic, intruiging battle between two good guys.

[TobaccoNUE]

Too early to say, Button needs to show he's top stuff more consistently.

He didnt overtake anyone
When it was wet, he was destroyed by Hamilton and was so slow that he chose to pit in order to not get embarrassed anymore, but lucked out.

He made the strategy work. He didn't need to overtake.

This didn't last very long:
