What a Race!!!

[Dowding]

I agree with Funked and Tronski - Button probably is a lot more conservative with his car and is able to get more endurance out of it. A similar example would be comparing Mansell and Patrese in 1992, both driving for Williams. Identical car, but Mansell achieved much better fuel economy and tire endurance than his team-mate.

And Villeneuve was doing a prima donna routine long before Button got in the car.

On arrogance:

Interviewer:  "Michael, what do you think about Jacques Villeneuve's comments considering the USGP circut?"

M. Schumacher:  "I am not aware of any comments."

Interviewer:  "He has reportedly refered to the Indy circut as 'Mickey Mouse.'"

M. Schumacher:  "Then it should suit him."

One of the greatest verbal exchanges in F1 history.  Pure dismissal.

Well we'll have to agree to disagree, because we obviously see this from completely different poles

I think Button is a far smoother driver than JV who to me he seems to fight the car more often than not..hence I believe the DNF factor compared to Button

As for Shuey....if everytime he had to pass someone difficult he crashed into them...well how do you explain his success, especially last years whitewash....
Ferrari is vastly superior team and car not just because of money (although obviously it helps), but alot of that is because of Schumacher. Schuey had the same benefit as JV did with BAR...a team built soley based on promoting the n#1 drivers success

As for whining...JV does nothing but, especially when a team mate looks to be better (even before the first race 'ala Button)

 Tronsky

mind telling me WHAT Button has achieved yet......

lemme refresh your memory......NOTHING!!!!:D

when that punk starts winning something....then I'll start comparing him too diff. kinda drivers that have won something....

as for BAR vs. Ferrari......not in the same category at all.....Ferrari's been there since the beginning...so that comparison would not be fair.....

as for DNF's.....look again....If your a wuss you drive like Button...conserve is the key word....but if ya like too fight.....no need to conserve......Differences between WORLD Champ and young punk who hasn't achieved anything.

Funky, the F1 cars all run the same speed, just like NASCAR.  The difference is, the NASCAR boys maintain high speed for a larger percentage of the time, thus the smaller comparative pull-away speed.

no they dont run at the same speeds, each car is different
