You make me laugh.

Hamilton has a good race - entirely his own doing
Hamilton has a bad race - entirely the team's fault

Button has a good race - entirely the team's doing
Button has a bad race - entirely his own fault

It must be fun to be as hopelessly deluded as you are.

If Mercedes are gonna build a totally dominant car they should at least hire a better 2nd driver than Rosbeerg.

That's unnecessary and not a good idea, it will simply create unhealthy rivalry between the drivers. Rosberg is fine, he pushes Lewis a lot of the time and as a team they are unbeatable.

I fully concur, Rosberg is the perfect no2. Besides I personally think Rosberg is the 2nd fastest driver in F1 after Lewis, look at people such as Raikkonen they should simply retire from F1.

Rosberg is the only Lewis teammate that I genuinely fear in terms of speed. With Button I feared Whitmarsh more as Button was just non-existent, and people like TallAndUseless should be honest with themselves, Whitmarsh always played a role in trying to prevent Lewis from pulverising Button.

Monaco 2010 - McLaren left Button's engine cover on, leading to overheating and a first lap retirement.

Britain 2011 - Button is sent out of the pits with only 3 wheels fully attached, forced to retire at the pit lane exit.

Germany 2011 - Button is forced to retire with a hydraulics problem, Hamilton goes on to win the race.

Belgium 2011 - Button is ordered to stay in the garage in Q2 despite the track drying and the lap times getting ever faster, forcing him to miss the top 10 shootout.

First half of 2012 season - Button is constantly hampered by tyre and aerodynamic problems that saw him forced to fight in midfield (if Hamilton gets a free pass for his bullschitt driving in 2011, Button gets one here).

Malaysia 2012 - Button pits for wing repairs, gets put on brand new, cold tyres after only 2 laps on his last set.

Italy 2012 - Button retires with engine failure while Hamilton goes on to win.

Are you absolutely sure that Hamilton was the only one who suffered from team incompetence in those 3 years?

Again you are trying to reason with a troll

Seeing quite a lot of delusion here regarding Rosberg and Hamilton. There are plenty of drivers on the grid that would give more of a challenge to Hamilton if they were in the same car. Button wasn't great but was definately more competent than Rosberg

Not that Rosberg isn't a good driver. He would be the perfect number 2 driver in a championship where Mercedes might be in a proper battle with another team.

I fail to understand what most base their reasoning on!
The only teammate to out qualify Lewis fair and square over a season was Rosberg. Button just made a few lucky gamble in wet conditions, coupled with Lewis' bungle pitstops courtesy of none other than Martin Whitmarsh. Speaking of which, I have never been this relaxed when Lewis is coming in for a pitstop, at McLaren one had to always hold his breath, but Karma has come full circle.

You would be delusional to think Button is faster than Rosberg, utterly mental!

Since Lewis left McLaren, under Button's leadership McLaren has been on a downward spiral where else Mercedes have become dominant. Every team that Button goes to eventually falls or pulls out of F1, Honda, Brawn, and now McLaren is heading in that direction fast. Flavio Briatore realised this before Button could cause any further damage and quickly dispatched of him. Same goes to Alonso, he has left a trail of destruction and he also is at McLaren to finish them off. I feel for Ron Dennis, here is this old man surrounded by the biggest charlatans in F1 history!

Clearly you are talking from your exhaust now, can you be kind enough to mention names, which drivers exactly can give Lewis a hard time? The one hailed as the best in F1 was dismantled by Lewis in his rookie year, who else is on the list! You guys like coming here and talk nonsense without any facts, just look at TallAndUseless talking ad nauseam about Button's retirements from insignificant positions, while Lewis retired on course to win most of the grand prix.

Lest we forget the so called annus horribilis 2011, Lewis Hamilton was leading the championship midway through the season, before Whitmarsh and his disgusting hooligans staged some of the most frightening pitstops and strategies to stall Lewis' progress. That's right Lewis was leading the championship, taking on the might Red Bulls! Ron Dennis, get rid of two people at McLaren Jonathan Neale for his man love for Button and Button himself, you shall have solved 80% of McLaren's problems!

Advise to Williams, get rid of Massa this boy is going to cost you a lot of points, after Maldonado Massa is just a road hazard!

Honda were working on the BGP001 from about midway through 2008. If you're going to blame Button for McLaren's recent slump, then the same logic dictates that Button deserves the credit for the car he became world champion in.

And as for this current McLaren car, you can find no end of sources with solid claims that it is actually an incredibly quick car that is being seriously hampered by an underpowered Honda engine.

If Honda are serious about claiming they've found and fixed this problem, then I will be glad to watch you eat your words in 2016.

You guys never learn, do you?

Where's old ATMCDOTG when you need him?
