That was not a Silverstone, it was Monza, I put that on the list.
Well, I did not count Monaco crash as I mostly put race incidents.
Not, I don't want to transpire as some sort of Hamilton hater. I do recognize that he is a damn fast, and among the fastests of the field. However, the attitude of some of his fanboys (including ringo) is ridiculous. Whatever he does he have right to and of anybody has a problem with that he's wrong. I'm pretty sure his lack of progress as a racer (try to calculate how many points he lost this season) is because people around him has the same fanboy attitude. He is deeply hurt by the absence of his farther who seemed to be the only man able to tame his temper.
What attitude?
F1 is entertainment for me. I laugh it up when i see entertaining events in the race.
Lack of progress as racer. Lol. Hard to progress if you're on top.
He's the best racer on the grid, mistakes and all.
Improvement lies only in biding his time. that is his only misunderstanding of how to be successful this year. Patience.
It doesn't go hand in hand with winning either. There is a balance. If you notice, no one else is being patient and closing the gap to Vettel points wise.
It cannot work. As good as Button is racing, it's only in vain.
Hamilton con
Hamilton is choosing to forfeit patience for expedience. It's not a matter of not progressing as a racer. It's a matter of making the right decisions. The situation with such a dominant car hasn't been seen in Hamilton's time. Arguably he's making the wrong decisions at the start of the races. And Mclaren are as well with him.
Button has seen it in the shumi era, and knows how to react to being helpless. He can deal with points collecting better than Hamilton.
