Jenson Button has won his 10th GP of his careers after a magnificent drive. He passed the pitlane 6 time and went through the field, pushing Vettel until he made a mistake on the final lap. Vettel still ended in second place, ahead of his teammate Mark Webber.
Hamilton isn't that dumb – every other time he and Button have fought he's come out on top by racing cleanly. I don't think he'll change anything about it.n smikle wrote:Four letters... P R B S
He might seem all chummy in from the cameras, but you are Gonna see Hamilton more aggressive with Jenson from now on.
Check it out at 2:10. Monza 2008, Hamilton vs Glock. It passed off as a "driver not seeing".I hope if we see something similar in the future, it's just passed off as a "driver not seeing".
Alright, you've been making stupid assumptions ever since the race was over. First saying that Jenson wanted to scare Lewis and now the decision was politically motivated?5 hours to decide a penalty is a very politically motivated and subjective decision.
I don't get how you can look into your mirror and not see the other car, but i guess Hamilton took one for the team when he talked to the stewards.The Stewards have reviewed the Incident involving Car 3 (L. Hamilton) and Car 4 (J. Button) on their 7th
lap of the race. The Stewards reviewed the lines of several cars, including the two cars involved, using
multiple angles of video evidence over several laps, the speed traces of both drivers, the GPS tracking
data from the cars and have heard the drivers and team representatives.
The Stewards concluded that:
1) Exiting Turn 13 there was a legitimate overtaking opportunity for Lewis Hamilton as his speed was
greater than Jensen Button's.
2) Both drivers took lines substantially similar to many of the other drivers, and did not move as far to
the left as the preceding driver, Michael Schumacher. At the moment after Hamilton moved to the left to
pass, Button looked into his mirror. It appears from the position of Hamilton at that moment [and is confirmed by the drivers] that Button was unlikely to have seen Hamilton.
3) At the point of contact Button had not yet moved as far to the left of the track as he had on the
previous lap, or that Schumacher had on that lap.
The Stewards have concluded that it was reasonable for Hamilton to believe that Button would have
seen him and that he could have made the passing manoeuvre. Further, the Stewards have concluded
that it is reasonable to believe that Button was not aware of Hamilton’s position to his left.
Therefore, the Stewards decide that this was a “racing incident” and have taken no further action
As much as I hate to say it, yes, he's definitely been more aggressive than usual lately. And that's been a little bit over-aggressive. Probably because he can feel the championship slipping away. But then again if he keeps making the same mistake every single race it's not going to get any better. He should definitely learn to be a bit more patient and wait for a real overtaking opportunity instead of going for a gap that's practically not there at all..As Niki Lauda says, he needs to calm his aggression as it is completely over the top.
This place is out of control. Between the 'Lewis can do no wrong' crowd (by far the worst people allowed on this forum) and those that condemn a driver for a single mistake after 5 wins in 7 races, and 6 poles from 7 races, it's getting knee deep around these parts. You people are nuts around here. Do none of you look at the bigger picture before the words hit the keyboard? 
I mean seriously, you guys are crazy judgemental. ringo wrote:You can't swear for anybody. He's just as ruthless as any of the other drivers.
His intention was to frighten lewis and he over did it. Vettel always does it at the start.
Button is not the greatest defender, so he balked this one.
Clearly aggression. The front view of the accident is even more damning.
Forget for a moment this is button in the car. Take it for what it is.
There were two moves. His first line was coming to the left at a rate that would keep him on the racing line where the grid slots are.
His second move was the swipe that clapped Hamilton.
His third move was to get back on the racing line.
We can look on all the drivers passing down the straight, they don't drive like this.
