0 point is 0 point Button will score a few.
And Button won't win this years championship. Just holding station all the time will not get you race wins, which is what Hamilton needs right now. He doesn't need low points finishes.

And he does not need DNF's either.

No he doesn't, but he took a risk and it didn't pay off. Never taking the risk wouldn't pay off either, whereas at least he gave himself a chance.

So... holding station guarentees you not winning the WDC. Trying to overtake means you could either end in the same situation, or end in a better one.

Elimination of dominated strategies says Hamilton is in the right.

Will they race for two hours? I mean, instead of 75 laps. Or what.

To get full points you have to race for more than 75% laps? Is that 52 laps? How many questions can you make per post?

I have actually, but that has little to do with it. Barrichello's move on Schumacher like that worked. If you always back out of an overtaking opportunity, as you seem to advocate, then you'll never win unless you qualify on pole.
there is a difference between a move a stupid move. Boxes of trophy in my basement agree with me. And yes I have balled up my fair share of equipment I also lost a championship do to my ego.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

And yet you're not an F1 world champion... Hamilton has won the F1 world championship and knows what it takes. To think you would do better behind the wheel is extremely arrogant.

So put yourself in the following drivers position. You would rather make a hasty move, get your car smashed and end up out of the race? You wouldn't prefer to back out and try again in a couple laps when you may have a better run on your opponent? That makes no sense to me at all.
Don't try your logic here. We are talking about the best driver to ever grace this earth and hes a brit.

All depends on whether you consider it a hasty move. Hamilton wouldn't have have thought Button would pull over into him, it's a quite un-Button thing to do.
