Button has proven himself time and again to be more than just a competent racer - he represents the team in a professional manner and has more experience behind the wheel of an F1 car than anyone else on the grid except maybe Massa who never did win that there title of CHAMPION... Button hasn't changed anything about how he approaches the media or drives the car, so your idea that he's somehow trying to save his ride by being a professional in the media and his personal life is utter tosh. <br /><br />Just the idea that somehow his 'ride is in serious jeopardy' is a joke - after the 1st race of the new season with an entirely new formula there isn't a single driver in pit lane who is worried about their drive next year - nah, pretty sure they're focused on the next 8 months or so of racing, well maybe at least 4 months of racing, before they even begin to get to that point.<br /><br /><br /><br />I have to wonder how long you've been watching F1, if you jump to these conclusions after one race.gravit8ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-65325380835358032972014-03-27T15:58:33.500-04:002014-03-27T15:58:33.500-04:00Get real guy.

Last year, once the tires were brought back in line with RBR expectations, they stopped their bitching and complaining just as soon as they got back on the podium. And the year before that, and the year before that - go ahead and sit down and look back at the seasons as they progress. RBR has literally copied the Ferrari playbook page by page - pitch a fit as publicly as possible, sow the seeds of dissent among the various other teams and drivers, and ratchet up their whining on all fronts until the FIA and CW have had enough of the negative press to feel pressure from all of the delegates and various political movers in F1 to make changes - all just to save their own ass at the cost of the general reputation of the sport. <br /><br /><br />Throw in that little troll (BE) making his usual mystery statements to select members of the press, agitating the race promoters and team principles alike, and we're sitting in the same garbage barge as we were when Schumi and Ferrari were dominating the championship year after year. After Todt went on, Ferrari have changed their tactics a bit (at least, they aren't doing the public weeping-vagina show anymore) and frankly, Scuderia have gone up in my estimation as a team overall - last year they had some terrible races but they didn't take every opportunity to get in front of a camera and bitch about the NUMEROUS technical questions about RBR systems and their constant attack on the SAME TIRES EVERYBODY ELSE HAD TO USE. <br /><br /><br />So here we are, one year on, and once again RBR is CRYING LIKE A BUNCH OF LITTLE GIRLS WITH SKINNED KNEES BECAUSE THEY GOT CAUGHT CHANGING THE EXACT SAME EQUIPMENT EVERY OTHER TEAM USED WITHOUT MAKING THOSE CHANGES. And the other teams aren't interested in defending RBR b/c Newey and Horner BROKE THE FREAKING RULES.<br /><br /><br />This is a formula series. Parts and design MUST be standardized in certain areas, and if the teams don't like the regulations they can spend their hundreds of millions of dollars in NASCAR or over at Le Mans. Assuming, of course, they don;t mind the technical regulations in those series as well.

I'm talking about your slanted writing and speculation on anything to do with RB. I'm aware Vettel is whining but in that so has been the rest of twitter, facebook and a large chunk of the fan base. That was not in question.

Just like Alonso knows Seb is right. We all agree with him. We can all see the sport suffering. This is the fundamental problem with liberal policies like taking a pro-environmental agenda in something like motorsport. Everything suffers...and it's completely unnecessary. Man made global warming is a hoax. Like the 2014 F1 season....it's a joke, it's a fraud. And the worst part is - people are stupid enough and timid enough to put up with it. <br /><br />And in retaliation to Button's comment Seb won't have to bitchslap Button. From the looks of it, a twenty-one year old rookie named Kevin Magnussen is gonna do that for him. Truth be told, Button thinks the new formula is BS as well, but he's not gonna say anything. Why? Cause his ride is in serious jeopardy. Button is doing everything he can PR wise to save his own ass at McLaren. Think about it, if Lewis had stayed at McLaren there's a good chance Jenson wouldn't even be in F1. Right now he'd be wearing his little spandex tights riding his little bicycle around Hawaii heading home to scarf down a hefty plate of bangers and mash.Chesthair Cevertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-31508663976253321802014-03-27T13:35:08.441-04:002014-03-27T13:35:08.441-04:00RBR has been doing everything within their powers ...RBR has been doing everything within their powers to attract hate recently.
