No.
Not yet, at least.
I say they should use the next 4 races before the summer break as an ultimatum.
Button will know that if he can't improve his results, he'll be out of the title race and stuck playing second fiddle.
Give him that chance first.
Mclaren is not Ferrari. The team still want to win the constructors. They have a chance to score more points than redbull and ferrari.
JB is in a rough patch and will get out of it and will charge up the standings soon enough.
Hamilton, the best driver of the last 10 years. FACT
Not a fact mate, Alonso is a better driver than him. He's up there though
As a racer, there's none better in last 20 years.
Hamilton would make top 5 at end of season in a Cateram
Same with Alonso. Hamilton is more of a competitor and relishes the challenge. Alonso likes preferential treatment so that's a weakness
Is it time for Mclaren to focus on Hamilton
by bosudu (U14944)
No.
It is time for Button to focus on his F1 career.
He should be taking points off his rivals not smiling to the press when he fails to deliver.

I'm right aren't I Tshe?
Anyways until its mathematically impossible for Jenson to win the title McLaren will not favor 1 driver over another, if you've watched Formula 1 for longer than 4 and a bit years you'd understand this

Well when someone resorts to the word "FACT" then I know that they are trying their best to be funny without actualy achieving their goal.
Why only 10 years?
Why not 30 or 50?
bosudu (U14944) = tse
Yes that is obvious.
Tomorrow he will be someone else
He's been back and then banned twice in the last few weeks (that I've seen).
You can spot him quite easily

So Ferrari don't favour any driver from the start? Doesn't matter what McLaren do, the day Twitmarsh becomes constructors champion is the day i eat my own hat.
That day will never happen as the man is a useless, headless chicken
McLaren and Ferrari are 2 different team run in completely different ways.

I would be interested to hear how you come to that opinion.
Schumacher raced in a period where Ferrari was the best by far. Tyres, tactics and fuel didn't play a part. Schumacher would go 10 races qualifying 1st then driving away.
Nowadays, it's about tactics, driver ability, fuel management, DRS and Kers.
"He should be taking points off his rivals not smiling to the press when he fails to deliver" Agreed. I said that after Montreal.
" Tyres, tactics and fuel didn't play a part" you are having a laugh aren't you? He got the best tyres available and more info from manufacturer than anyone else. He also cheated to win at least one of his titles.

I didn't phrase myself well.
I meant that tyres, tactics and fuel play a bigger part now as its a level playing field.
This is what Gary Anderson has to say
"Lewis Hamilton lost some decent points in his collision with Pastor Maldonado, but McLaren have bigger problems than that.
Hamilton was just not fast enough. He lost a lot of ground very quickly to Vettel at the beginning of the race and the McLaren was also slower than the Lotus and probably the Ferrari.
McLaren have got to have a close look at that, and I do think that Jenson Button's performance is firing a warning shot across their bows.
They need to be looking at what is wrong with Jenson because if they make him better they will make Lewis better as well.
The problems show up a bit more on Button's car because Hamilton can adapt to problems and drive around them whereas Button cannot. "
