Lewis Hamilton apparently disrespected by Jensen Button

[PlatinumZealot]

Trouble in the Mclaren camp!

Check Lewis Hamilton's twitter page! He thinks Button has never respected him! Holy crap... this is going to be good times in the next five races!

[example]

Just as I thought what was the main problem.

LOL Has Lewis fallen on his head.

He had to backtrack because it turns out Jenson NEVER followed Hammies Twitter page =D> =D>

When they announced Hamilton will be driving for Mercedes from 2013 onwards, it was all over Twitter that Jenson has unfollowed him. Then it came out that he never followed him in the first place. All this happened on September 28th (Hamilton had no twitter account update from September 26th until October 5th due to what he claimed was phone issues). Lewis should visit Twitter more often not to make such funny mistakes.

I saw that earlier and he looked to me like a high school little girl with those followed/unfollowed/never followed tweets. Bleah.

[example]

I see English media aren't wasting time to talk --- about him again. First it was how he went to Mercedes for money, then it was about him and Nicole. Now it's how he's attacking poor angel Jenson. How are they able to sell bs on daily basis is beyond me.

Wow shocking news folks, apparently Jensen Button has disrespected Lewis Hamilton by "unfollowing" him on twitter. What do you folks think about this apparently disrespectful situation?

Jenson Button never followed Hamilton to begin with and Hamilton ended up saying an hour later that he screwed up.

Edit: I don't know how to link individual tweets, I have never used twitter before, but here is Hamilton's

"My bad, just found out Jenson never followed me. Don't blame him! Need to be on Twitter more!"

Apparently Button never followed Lewis on twitter. I guess Ross Brawn isn't too impressed with his future driver's intelligence.

Twitter hasn't worked in the favour of Lewis very often. He has repeatedly posted emotional things which he later had to retract. Brawn is likely going to have a word with him about that.

Anyway, this is probably not an appropriate thread for f1t. I'll keep it open for a few more hours to allow some opinion, but it will close after that.

People are taking FB, twitter etc. waaay too seriously.

who gives a ---...

[Tim.Wright]

since when did these boards filter out such important words??

[wesley123]

imo it gives a great impression about how things truly are in the McLAren team.

All those tweets etc. sure do give the suggestion that Lewis feels disrespected by the team, and so it is the other way around. On one way Lewis probably feels that McLaren are throwing away the championship, but on the other end McLaren might not be happy with Hamiltons PR effort and his effort in the team as a whole, this can go well for a long time, but after a while you get this.

makes you wonder if McLaren weren't aware of Lewis Mercedes discussion via twitter....
