Important points being.
"In his collision with Button, though, I feel Hamilton is a bit of a wronged man.
I don't agree that it was more Hamilton's fault than Button's. Jenson clearly knew Lewis was there after he was slow exiting the final chicane - his head tilts twice as he is watching Lewis hard in his mirrors. The incident is 50-50 blame in my view at best. Jenson said post-race that he had apologised to Lewis."
So in the opinion of a former race driver and the race commentator it wasn't all Lewis fault as you all seem to think. Seeing as Jenson apologised it seems he knows it's his fault to. So you can get of Lewis' back about that one.
"Button was partly at fault in his incident with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
If you compare the collision between Button and Alonso with that between Paul di Resta and Nick Heidfeld, I'm not sure Button was any less to blame than Di Resta was - and the Scot got a penalty, even though he had a damaged front wing and therefore had already paid the price for the contact.
Alonso was ahead, Button was no more than halfway alongside and the Spaniard was entitled to turn in. He gave Button space, and the McLaren under-steered on the slippery kerbs into the Ferrari."
Again people tried to say Button was blameless in that incident to but it seems Brundle disagrees.
So who really was out of control and dangerous in that race? Based on Brundle's report it seems it was Jenson.

---------------------------------
In those conditions, accidental, nothing more, go as far to say if your the one pulling the move, make sure your going to pull it off, Lewis didn't, unfortunate but that's the risk element , and Lewis's assessment was wrong.

Who gives a sh)t?
Jenson (a British driver) won.
If Di Resta or Hamilton had won i'd be equally pleased.
Why do some folk feel the need to support one driver over all others (like their a football team).
Extremely odd fanboy behaviour IMO

Well said 'spook'
Biscuit........................why all the articles!!!! Get over it bud.

The reason is because loads of people came on here and criticised Hamilton and said he's dangerous and should be banned when in actual fact Jenson was just as bad if not worse.
As for Spooks comment I don't support every driver that's British because I don't like every driver that's British I dislike Jenson because he's a fairly average driver who seems to think the sun shines from his behind. I've not liked every British driver and I don't want a driver I dislike to win.

if roles were reversed and hamilton done that to button,imagine the outrage
hamilton's bodged move was borne out of frustration getting stuck behind the old fella,that was his mistake,patience
if hamilton had gone right instead of left,he would of left button for standing
if hamilton fell into a bath full of threepenny bits,he'd come out sucking his thumb,whereas button would have a double handful

Spook, I agree with you.
Also I'm laughing my *** off that people can call Jenson a fairly average driver even after that win. I would like to see you do what he did!!
Every single driver on the Formula 1 grid is a great driver. That is why they are there....

Yes but some are greater than others and Jenson isn't that great. People will argue that up until 3 years ago he's had a poor car but you can still be a good driver in a bad car. Jenson was a bad driver in a bad car now he's a bad driver in a good car. If he was that good whilst at Honda he would have been pocked up by other teams, better teams but he wasn't he only moved to Brawn because Honda quit the sport. He only won his WDC because the brawn car was far superior to the other teams who had under developed hence why Rubens another fairly average driver was finishing second every race. Once the other teams caught up to Brawn after the 7th race you notice that Jenson's wins stop.
I'm sorry I just don't think he's as good as some people think he is. His win in Canada was aided by the safety cars bunching all the cars up so that in the faster Mclaren he could pass them and Vettels mistake gifted Jenson the win.

Jenson had spray in his mirrors as Lewis made his move IMO and was moving on the correct line as was his right so could not be blamed at all.
For the Alonso incident, again Jenson had the right line and was up alongside Alonso and therefore Alonso should have backed out or risk what happened.

Jenson should have backed out of the Alonso one he went for a gap that wasn't there and he knew Lewis was there for their collision. Lewis went for a gap that was always going to be dangerous even if Jenson didn't move over on him.
