Whilst I think Hamilton will, in general, hand Button his arse on a plate...
Hamilton has shown on many occasions that he pushes his tyres hard, and 'loses' them earlier than Button. Now they have to drive on one tank of fuel, which might mean having to preserve tyres when the car is heavy, or light, depending on its traits. Advantage Button...
Since the return to slicks, fronts have had more grip than in the past (fill four grooves with rubber and more rubber is added to the fronts than the rears) so this season if your car was a basic oversteerer, you had more oversteer. If it was your basic understeerer, you got better balance. Whilst this varied from track to track, it seemed to hurt Brawn more than McLaren, and Button dealt with that well. Honours even...
When Barrichello was at Ferrari and started to beat Schumacher, it was because the car came to him away from Michael. Ferrari fixed that, advantage returned to Schumi. This year, the car was the same for both of them but, when it came to Barrichello later in the season, he did a bit better. Advantage Button...
Button can't qualify as well as Hamilton. Advantage Hamilton...
It's going to be a great season!!
