Lewis’s superiority over Jenson in 2012 was evident for all to see.

And Jenon’s superiority over Hamilton in 2011 was evident for all to see!

@ginola14 Whitmarsh has been involved at McLaren at a senior management level going back to the prost/senna days. Choosing to only restrict your terms of reference to the last 15 doesn’t strengthen your point, it […]

@ginola14 Your point was that Sam Michael is not up to the job, and that he oversaw a decline in Williams.

If things were as simple as that, Williams would have improved since he left, wouldn’t they?

If it […]

@ginola14

He wasn’t technical director last year, Paddy Lowe was. So the problems with this year’s McLaren are not down to Sam Michael.

Mike Coughlan designed championship winning cars at McLaren, but his […]

@ginola14 What about button? Weren’t we discussing Hamilton’s abilities?

@ginola14
My point exactly.

@ginola14 Well, its like saying it’s funny that Vettel had mechanical issues on Saturday while Webber had none.

@ginola14

Although it is a bit cheeky for Romain to suggest Mark had been “unkind” when Mark was the one booted uncermeniously out of the race by Romain after he decided he wanted to show them Spa 12 wasnt a […]

@ginola14

he somehow won Autosport’s British Driver of the Year award

I thought the winner of that award was voted for by the public? In which case it says exactly nothing about the British press.

@ginola14

Be as sarcastic as you want.

When you’ve got the third fastest car but the two faster cars constantly retire with mechanical failures than you’ve got the best car.

We’re now seeing how good […]

@ginola14
I doubt he’d agree with you there: he’s started most races on the third row of the grid or lower and has only started five races on the front two rows – that doesn’t sound like the performance you’d […]

Button had a failing throttle pedal sensor in Qualifying and indeed suffered a KERS failure in the later stages of the race @ginola14, as is mentioned in the article above.

@ginola14
Interesting points! It scary we may never be sure how quick the Mac really is from year onwards.
Same as Red Bull (as fast as it is), I always get the feeling there’s so much more to be extracted […]

@ginola14 – And stick Vettel in Alonso’s Ferrari, Hamilton’s Mclaren or Raikkonen’s Lotus and he’d win as many races as them, if not more.

@ginola14 – Yeah, that’s why Button picked up no more poles than Vettel in 2009, and has taken 1 entire pole position in the last 3 years.

@ginola14 – The Red Bull was slower than the McLaren at times last year, yet Vettel still lined up in the first grid slot. I doubt Button would have achieved 35 pole positions in such a short period of time.

@ginola14

over the course of 3 years, he was definitely the faster of the 2 drivers at McLaren (please don’t flame me and quote 2011, sometimes Jenson wins blah blah blah; the yardstick i mentioned is over the […]
