Button is a extremely smooth driver, and given the right car (As Hamilton has) he could well be challenging for wins, but for the last few seasons the Honda car has been well behind the leading few.

Like I said in a thread a while ago...

"As for Jenson, this year has been a bad one for him but, in fairness, if you had a nail to hammer into a bit of wood and someone said to you, "Look, we need to get this nail hammered into this block of wood soonish. I've only got a spoon for you to use at the moment, but I'll be able to get you a hammer in a half hour or so." would you:

a) Try to hammer the nail in with spoon?
b) Have a cup of tea and wait for the hammer?"

I'd try the heel of my shoe. There's no guarantee they'd ever turn up with the hammer and if everyone else has a heavier spoon you they might have got their nail in before your hammer arrives.

OK so maybe they know this guy who used to make great hammers but he left that job and he's just inherited a cutlery factory.

Well, you ripped that analogy to shreds didn't you?! hehe

I think that's a little unfair. I've said it, and it has been said many times elsewhere by other people, that the problem at Honda has always been the management. There's plenty of money and talent at the Honda team, but they've always been held back by that utter fool Nick Fry and politically-minded decisions from Japan such as the employment of a bike designer to pen an F1 car. W, and indeed, TF?

Still, I've properly put my neck on the block regarding the Honda team and Button with a recently added ultimatum of 2009 to prove whether or not they (and Button) are Championship contenders. So, yeah, despite my unwavering faith in my own opinion ( wink ), I am a little nervous!

That's a slightly off topic question, but yeah I think it has been brought up in the past.

For the even slower minded (sorry, big nights out this weekend!)

Does Brundle not like Jenson then?



The reason Jenson isn't doing well is he isn't focusing himself on the racing, he's too busy flying helicopters, piloting nice boats through Monaco harbour and shagging anything female within a square mile of him. Fair enough, Hamilton probably does these things too, but when he races his mind is firmly on the race, not "Yawn, when can I get out of this incredibly powerful stheap and get my leg over again?"

To be completely honest I didn't really understand what it was an analogy for.
