    Let's put this into perspective:
    We're watching a video on a CZcams channel of an F1 world champion, talking to an F1 world champion. So we get to listen to 2 people who were at the highest point in motorsport talking about their fears, successes and failures. Both well off and successful post F1, and yet they make a CZcams video. Wow, what a time to be alive. Thank you both for taking the time out, and thank you Nico for making it possible.

      @@adammesic Same here, exactly the same. I appreciate that his demons, public opinion and Lewis brought the absolute worst out of him, but since he left he's mellowed into a nice bloke. I'm so pleased about this Nico, and I don't want this to take from the respect that I have grown for you in this one cast alone.
      I guess a lot of it was about the adrenaline and the sheer frustration of being beaten at virtually every point when by rights, given almost any other driver as a teammate, he should have been multiple world champion.
      Seeing these two together, given the similarities between them, Jenson was still by far the better driver, better winner and importantly better loser while still driving. Perhaps it is age, or expectation, or even how the British press presented your actions after all Lewis is still F1's golden child. I met Jenson in Ireland a few years ago when doing a promo in Dublin, and he was the nicest bloke. I hope to meet you, Nico, and Lewis and Fernando before much longer as the four of you are by a long way the biggest inspiration to me when I'm on track.

And I saw a bit by Driver61 on Mazepin and the terrible management at Haas that made me see him as an actual person (and wonder if some incidents in his past were a result of negative forces on him). Like most, I still want someone to boo but I'm becoming afraid to hate on a driver lest I find out later he's human. Maybe I'll just buck the trend and hate on Danny Ricc.

    For a bit of context, Hamilton and Alonso faced JB in totally different circumstances. The teammate pairings are not comparable at all.
    Hamilton/JB were in a competitive McLaren. They won loads of races(18) fighting at the front of the field against RB and Ferrari over 3 years from 2010-2012. It was a high pressure, high stakes period where they had so much to fight for and this is what gives their teammate pairing a higher status than the norm. They had a legit memorable rivalry. So many great battles and wins between them and their relationship was tested because because they were actually fighting for something.
    Alonso/JB were in a joke of a McLaren car. A complete crapbox fighting for absolutely nothing at the back of the field. They never even scored a single podium in the 2 years they were teammates from 2015-2016. Thy basically just did test sessions every race because the car was so bad and the reliability was awful. It was a horrendous period in both JB's and Alonso's careers and they simply did not build any kind of real rivalry at all. It was an embarrassing joke of a time for both of the former world champions who were used to winning and fighting at the front of the field.
    That's why they are not comparable. JB did not fight Alonso for anything. His relationship with Alonso was never tested in the same way it was against Hamilton with race wins on the line. Do people really think Button and Alonso would have been so friendly if they fought each other for race wins? Not a chance.

      Couldn't bring himself to accept Lewis made right decision AND was a better driver than him.
      Button took over team from Hamilton, played the politics and had Whitmarsh favouring him as No1...which helped Lewis go to Mercedes. Button secretly thinks he's as good but can't say it now the titles and figures blow him away....JB was great after he was gifted a championship, too much partying by that.

      Nonsense. JB used to talk about Hamilton all the time. I can distinctly remember how often the media would ask him about his partnership with Hamilton after they were teammates when Hamilton left for Mercedes and then when JB retired he started his new career as a TV pundit and was always talking about Hamilton on Sky TV. His initial post F1 career was built on talking about Hamilton.
      Alonso was JB's last teammate. That's why Alonso became part of the discussion after JB had already talked about Hamilton a million times.
      Also, JB and Hamilton used to actually win races and battle at the front of the field. They won 18 races for McLaren over 3 years. It was a legendary McLaren teammate pairing. Alonso vs JB was a pathetic teammate "battle" in a crap car fighting for absolutely nothing at the back of the field. They never even scored a podium. It was an awful time in both of their careers Do not compare the two because they are not in the same league at all.
