Has Button broken Hamilton?

could you elaborate on those 3 cases? I can't remember them and I am curious to know. What I know is that Senna was usually so faster in qualifying that he simply didn't have to obstruct things.

Well, the best reference is the book "Senna vs Prost" by Malcolm Folley. It goes into a lot of detail about the controversial incidents that peppered Senna's career.

I did think the book was a bit biased towards Prost's points of view, others have said it is well balanced, but whatever, it's sure as hell a lot better balanced than that ridiculous movie "Senna".

I'm not so sure about the obstruction in qualifying, I've got a really hazy recollection of that, but I seem to recall it had something to do with stopping Niki Lauda qualifying, so it would have been 1984 (Toleman?) or 1985 in a Lotus.

"I'll be heading to China looking to win - but it's just as important to pick up some good points if, for whatever reason, a win isn't on the cards."

Just maybe ...

There's a parallel universe somewhere with Button kept on at Mercedes after Brawn GP and Hamilton staying on at McLaren to drive the McLaren Hondas.

But that would upset quite a few around here.

On the plus side, at least Button wouldn't be telling us what to eat
