Congrats to our 2015 Pole Trophy Winner!

You deserve it son, you are absolutely sublime. No one can touch you. Hammer time. That Pole lap was pure perfection!

Meanwhile at McLaren....
These folks should desist from blowing their own trumpets (part of Whitmarsh's legacy), telling all who cared to listen that they are chasing Ferrari this weekend . Button claimed this was his best lap in a long time, dear Lord!

And while we're at it, let's take a look at Sebastian Vettel's achievements over the last 6 years.

Wins - 36
Poles - 40
Points - 1653
World Titles - 4

It's amazing what having a faster car then everyone else's can do for you.

Hamilton has been the best driver in qualifying this season, he has really put in some outstanding laps to get pole after pole. A worthy champion, and I don't think anyone can argue with that.

Utterly pathetic, do you call Button's lucky tyre gambles wins?? I do not recall a single race which Button won without Lewis having a problem with the car! Did you conveniently decide to forget about 2012 where Lewis had countless number of retirements whilst in the lead, Lewis was wiping the floor with Button, whilst Button was mixing it with the Caterhams, forever complaining about balance and understeer. Only Whitmarsh spared Button the blushes with his shenanigans and they both deserve to be kicked out of McLaren! These slimy two got what they deserve, karma came full circle.

To Button and Whitmarsh:

--------------------------------------------------

Hungary 2006 - although I seriously doubt you know anything about this as you've clearly not seen a single F1 race prior to 2007.
China 2010
Canada 2011 - retired after a collision, no mechanical trouble.
Hungary 2011
Japan 2011 - Hamilton messed his own race up by smashing into Massa for the umpteenth time
Australia 2012 - Hamilton messed up his own start procedure
Belgium 2012 - Chose not to go with Button's setup and Grosjean made him pay for it

And that hypocrisy I mentioned earlier is showing again.

You're so quick to condemn Button when he was hampered by car trouble in 2012 (yet still took 3 wins and a pole) but you constantly make excuses for Hamilton when he was consistently shooting himself in the foot a year earlier.

And how dare you call Button slimy when Hamilton had the gall to throw the race card at the FIA when they called him out on his bullschitt driving?

And you call me pathetic.

Trebs,

I'm not disputing that Hamilton is a great driver, probably the best of this generation.

What I'm trying to dispute is this idiot's pointless crusade against the one driver who has actually given him a decent fight as a teammate.

Here you are again arguing with the pretend Hamilton fan

Hamilton was better than Button during their years together at McLaren, and is an all round better driver for sure.

Button is a good driver, but is not a great driver like an Alonso or a Hamilton. He's had some very good days and a decent career, a former world champion. But in the future, he won't be remembered.

Having said that, to say Hamilton destroyed Button or words to that effect during their time as teammates is ridiculous. Without having the stats to hand, Hamilton scored better overall and I would guess had more wins, poles. Hamilton was better, but Button was competitive. It wasn't like the Alonso and Massa situation at Ferrari.

Although I've considered myself more of a Button fan than a Hamilton fan, this is exactly my thoughts.

There's no denying that Hamilton is the better driver but it is being infuriating when people say that Button is an "undeserving world champion" or that he deserves to be stuck in a car that makes Marussia look like Ferrari.

It's got even more frustrating recently as people are now claiming that Button hasn't won a single race on merit.

Nobody flukes 15 wins and THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN UNDESERVING WORLD CHAMPION!!!
