I like both drivers but i have a feeling that JB is getting a bigger turd of a car.

RB has many more past experiences driving turds. Four years in a Jordan will do that to a driver.

but he had a good run from jordan to stewart,to ferrari and to honda to .....hopefully hang up his helmet in formula 1 at least

Anyone still think JB has a chance of beating RB in points this season?

Excuses, excuses.......

Barrichello drives the same car and had has made him look like a rookie.

They need to put Button out to pasture because he's done/finished as a driver, at least at Honda, anyways. He'll never be a WC. I was gonna' call him the next "DC" but at least Coulthard won more than one race in his career.

This board is wacky. Hamilton is made fun of and Button is made excuses for.

Some people just can't face the reality that Button was never really the up-and-comer that the Honda fans thought he would be. And then Hamilton comes along and shows them what a real up-and-comer looks like....

Hamilton, Kubica, Heidfeld, Kovalainen: these guys are the next generation. Maybe even Sutil, if anybody ever gives him a car. For that matter, Alonso is younger than Button and has 2 series championships under his belt. Button is going to be lucky to ever get another win in F1.

Well said

for RB for a great drive at Silverstone! I haven't double checked yet if the reason he needed the 3rd stop was because of the pit strategy flop when JB was right behind him and he didn't get enough fuel... otherwise he could've come in 2nd.

RB had a fuel rig problem that caused him to need the additional stop. Otherwise, yeah he could have been 2nd.

JB sucks. I'm not sure why Honda keeps him. I guess the last few years they couldn't do any better? Hopefully once Ross gets things headed in the right direction he'll dump Button.

I concur.

Hamilton will win many WDC.

Button, never. Just because he drives a Honda doesn't mean you have to root for him. The guy sucks, end of story.

I mean, why cheer on a shitty driver? So you can groan and be disappointed every sunday a race is on? Bunch of masochists you are.
