We should unite as McLaren fans, stand on the same site instead of this LH vs JB. There are another 24 drivers out there we are going to battle.

I'm a McLaren fan since mid 90's thus support the drivers in it. Lewis has done a fantastic job for the team, and respect him for the things he has done so far. I hope LH and JB arent too focused battling each other that 'Two dogs strive for a bone, and the third runs away with it.' so of speak.
Because, LH with JB is a thriller and killer combination.

Wasn't it Jensons main reason to go to McLaren,
to challenge and to beat Lewis in the same car?
He said it several times
I didn't hear him or read from him, he wants to beat Ferrari or the RedBulls
or he want's to be WDC with McLaren
His main reason to leave Brawn and to join McLaren was Lewis and the challenge to beat him.
Jenson and Lewis are ok drivers. I can see them steering Mclaren to a top 5 place in the WCC next year.
They havent got an out and out super driver like Alonso, Massa, or Vettel, but they may be ok. Take a few podiums.
Good luck to them. Hope you guys arent too hard on the boys.

That's laughable. And shows that you didn't watch, and didn't even read about, the '07-season. But let me tell you, that a rookie Hamilton matched his team-mate Alonso that year! Finished equal on points!
Massa a super driver? Hehe.

Let me express myself, F1 for me is 'F1 is a team sport where you only reach your goals by working together.', If it is only up to what drivers do during the season and not the team, why is there a WCC after all? Maybe Bernie doesnt get it.

In a sound-proof, screened room at McLaren:
Whitmarsh: "OK, Jense, let's have it..."
Button: "Have what?"
Whitmarsh: "Brawn's secrets, how did they do it? What have they got that we haven't?"
Button: "Apart from the Constructors' Championship, you mean?"
Whitmarsh: "At Vodaphone McLaren Mercedes, the drivers do not make jokes."
Button: "We save that for the track?"
Whitmarsh: "Stick to the subject. Brawn's secrets. What do they put in their tyres?"
Button: "Air, just like you."
Whitmarsh: "What's their weight distribution?"
Button: "Same as yours, more or less."
Whitmarsh: "What clever innovations have they got in their suspension or brakes?"
Button: "None and none, they're just well refined."
Whitmarsh: "So what HAVE they got?"
Button: "Ross Brawn."
Hahahahahahahahahahaha classic.

Isn't this where McLaren arrived at a couple of years ago with Fernando and Lewis. Then Lewis wanted to be first, then they tried to trick each other, then Ron said "We were racing Alonso", then somehow Max got involved about some e-mails, then the whole season came to the last race and somehow neither driver won.
Maybe with a little more
between the two Brits, things might turn out OK! Or maybe not!!
Dear, things are getting even worse for Lewis 
he just broke up with longtime gf and pussycat doll Nicole. While Jenson is mixing it up with his illustrious geisha model on holiday 
How will Hamilton find motivation now? Jense has got this duel covered 99%

I think no. Phil Prew will help both new race engineer, and Jakob isn't inexperienced. He was assistant race engineer to Lewis on the side of Phil. There was a video with those two (Phil Prew and Jakob Andreasen) explaining their jobs a bit.

I’m so sorry coz I’m sure this is not the appropriate thread for this but I just had to say this out. In this very competitive and aggressive world of F1, Heikki has just made my heart melt. He has always had a warm heart but the comments that I’ve been reading from him over the past few days and weeks have just made me think he is such an awesome Kid. He has not a bad word about Lewis (if anything he is tipping him for the title) and there is not a bad word about Mclaren. I really do wish him all the best for the future Pull yourself together, F1 is for real men - no need for blushes and warm hearts.
Please keep the thread on topic - Jenson vs Lewis
On topic for a change. In todays "Motorsport aktuell" there's an article about LH/JB with some, ehm, interesting parts:
- allegedly Ross Brawn teached Jenson how important it is to gather your side of the pit around you as close as possible
- allegedly as a part of that process JB has made sure he vistited the factory specifically on those days LH was not there
- allegedly Buttons father is a likeable lad and provides a good mood inside his sons team
- allegedly Hamiltons dad is, wait for it.... "burned with ambition like a figureskating mom"
Always trying to influence things behind the scenes, very political and stopping at nothing to protect Lewis.
For what it's worth. The author is a certain Norbert Ockenga, in case someone feels like sending a Ninja squad...

Never heard anyone described like that before
As far as I'm concerened, Button just needs to beat those qualifying jitters he experienced in the second half of last season.
If he can do that, and stick with Hamilton in qualifying, his race pace will trouble Hamilton and I'm anticipating some mistakes. Button's style allows him to relentlessly lap the circuit with almost robot like precision and I will be fascinated to see how Hamilton deals with that.

But it's a colourful picture, isn't it?
For the nitpickers, the german text is "vom Ehrgeiz getrieben wie eine Eiskunstlauf-Mutter".
On second thought "driven by ambition like a figureskating mom" would be more accurate.
If its true its good tactics on Buttons part - somehow though I doubt much thought has gone into his visits to the factory beyond he had some free time and needed to get in there to start the ball rolling..
