McLaren only cares about Lewis.

Equal to how Alonsos teammates in Renault never seem to have a chance.

I beg to disagree Zonda, kovalainen is just no match for Lewis, he has has got some speed but his mental strentgh is pathetic. As for the race, god what an aweful one.

Congrats to Lewis. And really though, congrats to Timo and Toyota. Who would a thought they would be on the podium? LOL

Yeah yeah yeah. Brawn love Button, but Rubben's get on with it doesn't he and so did Alonso when he was at Mclaren. Heikki is qualified F1 driver but has unsuccessfully taken full advantage of the MP24. Vettel or Rosberg would do a better job in the Mclaren.

As for the race, I deem Singapore the most boring race on the calender. Just like last year the entertainment came from teams making mistakes rather than cars getting overtaken on the circuit. The overtaking possibilities are outright laughable. Nowhere on the circuit is it possible to smoothly overtake another car without taking a major risk. It's even worse than Valencia.

Thankfully Suzuka is coming up next week and I very much look forward to it though I expect some impressive dominance by the KERS cars given the long straight and fast sweeping corner that come up right after the starting line. If Kimi or Hamilton get out in the front, they will easily dominate the race.

I actually think that both Brawn drivers get equal support, but Button was the one who adapted to the car quickest. And did so also when the Brawn car had a clearer upper hand. Uncle Ross has afterall worked with Rubens in the past so he should if anyone be the favorite.

Alonso and Hami also got equal support, but we know how that went. Since then I think McLaren has scrapped equal driver status.

That's why the sport is called F1. It's the survival of the fittest. Beat your fellow team mate and you'll not only get a higher wage but will also be awarded number one status. Heikki has yet to prove himself worthy of special treatment, especially when he has failed to score points when it has mattered most -- the days when Hamilton doesn't. If Heikki had done his job better then Mclaren should have won the constructors championship too.

On the other hand they they are probably enjoying the relaxed atmosphere within the team now. Having a house full of two egos can result in some uncomfortable tension.
