You clearly forgot the 1st pass by Perez on Hamilton. As well, after the pileup at the traffic light in Canada some years ago, what would have been your thoughts?

I think that the future is unwritten.

Hamilton owning Perez, he noticed him and made a defensive move. Honestly, JB isn't fast enough to become WDC and Perez is unexperienced.

Button is a capable driver and still has another title in himself .He can and has beaten Hamilton who is the fastest man on earth ,right? in SPA ,a drivers circuit...
Mclaren surely have not been able to string a successful campaign for some years now ,but they are always right there ,winning races fighting back from lost ground working successfully at their weaknesses,never giving up or looking complacent.They have genbuine talent in their R*D -F-duct ,Coanda Exhaust -they also build THE DIFFERENTCAR but it´s the successful one.No trophies recently ..but in the hunt.
But RBR is ,due to NEWEY only,very tough competition .

What happens if Button beats Hamilton again despite Button having a massive amount of technical problems this year???

So for 2 straight years Hamilton is going to be made a joke. I think moving is a fair point. He is getting exposed at Mclaren. 1 Hit Wonder who was basically over-hyped.

If Jenson beats Lewis 2 years in a row then Lewis probably deserves to go to a crap like the Mercedes one.

It was a good pass.

@SSS
Go and watch the races again before you start sharing your hate. That poor man's Prost only won 7 points in 6 races. Was that because of technical problems?

One hit wonder, you can't be serious. He should be WDC in 2007 and took what he deserved in 2008. Hamilton led McLaren in 2008,2009,2010 and now in 2012. Obviously, he is the first and fastest driver of the team (big gap in Singapore). Only haters don't want to believe that. Check the facts and keep your emotions under control.

Hamilton is on average ~.360 faster in qualifying. Take a look here. Button is 12-3 behind. Good luck winning the title with that kind of qualy performance. Hamilton lost a heap of points because of the team's mistakes and mechanical problems. And Button didn't have as much technical problems, he was lost at sea, which isn't the team's fault, neither it's a technical problem. Next time get your facts straight, or risk becoming a laughing stock. You might get respect from haters in cr@p forums, but not here.

Yea he did that when Hamilton had his worst year in his career. Great Job Button, very impressive.
And even that year Hamilton matched him in amount of wins.

Its easy to win a fight when the opponent seems out of place and keeps punching himself in the face while pre-occupied with outside influences.

2012 is clear evidence that Lewis is still better than Jenson in almost every area.

Imagine how different things would be if Lewis was the one who crashed into an HRT in Malaysia and couldn't drive the McLaren faster than a midfield car for half of the season?

So Lewis Hamilton has been the faster McLaren driver all season, he signs for another team and then suddenly can't get any kind of setup to work on his car leaving Button as the faster driver. That's two races in a row where he's had setup issues, with the team finding mysterious yet unspecified issues with suspension components after the last race. Now we have Hamilton unable to improve his time when he switches to the option tyre, whereas everyone else goes faster, and then having no pace on the long run on it either. All this whilst the team are telling his team mate that he's the fastest on the option tyre on the long runs.

I know you should never attribute to malice anything that can be explained by incompetence, but are McLaren really THAT incompetent? He's had a great setup the rest of the season, only really making a mistake with it in Spa, and now has two races in a row where he/they can't set the car up?
