I believe he would have too but only because the alternative was to have an accident. The fact that Button's rear wheel made contact with Hamilton's front proves that Hamilton was not, as he claimed, "at least halfway alongside" and was not at any stage in a position to rightfully feel he had done enough to "claim" the corner. As DC put it; if that's Lewis's idea of half I wouldn't want to share my chocolate bar with him. Yet he didn't back off, he left it up to Jenson to yield or crash. Unluckily for Hamilton Jenson hadn't seen him. Taking your team-mate out is the cardinal sin in F1 but Lewis was prepared to risk taking both himself and Jenson out of the race. It was only by good fortune that Jenson was able to go on to win the race. Jenson was very magnanimous in publicly declaring that it was "just one of those things". McLaren ought to be reeling him in but Whitmarsh is too weak to do so. Lewis clearly feels that the team need him more than he needs them, evidenced by his trying to bring pressure to bear on the team by openly paying a "social visit" to Red Bull.

If Mclaren can deliver Lewis a car capable of winning the title they may as well dispense with his duties and give it to Button as he seems quite capable of doing the same and more given the equipment. Ok, so that's from a Button fan.

Well Jenson is 1 for 2 w/ a title winning car, a better ratio than his teammate. |
