    Based on what you've said before, NK should have called Button an idiot.

    No, based on what I said THAT was a racing incident; it was a fight for position. Narain was still a bit of an idiot there considering he all but stopped mid-corner, but nevertheless, it was for position.

    That's about all that need be said on that incident.

    Correct. I think we can all agree on that. Except you.

    Dude, did you actually watch the race? Narain all but stopped because Alonso slowed down massively going into the corner, and Button pulled a bone-head move trying to stuff it up the inside and pushed right into Narain. Did Narain go in a bit hot, and not be able to pull his car to the apex? Possibly. Also, how to you figure Narain 'continued on'? He pitted on that lap so they could get a look at the back of his car.

    And since they were fighting for position, it was ok for Button just to drive into the back of Narain? That was way more of a bone-head move than the Vettel / Narain incident, battle for position or not. Especially after Button had just switched to intermediates, and there was still quite a bit of water on the track.

    Why don't you just admit that you don't like Narain or HRT, and that you're biased against him?

    I missed that Narain pitted after the Button incident; my mistake.

    Show me where Alonso slowed down massively:



    There was tons of room between the back of Alonso and the front of Karthikeyan at all times.

    No, it wasn't "OK" for him to crash into him, but it was purely a racing incident. Narain went in way deep and left the inside open; Button, probably knowing he has a much quicker car than the HRT and seeing Alonso right ahead, went for it. You want to keep throwing the "racing line" around? That's all Button was following (the exact same line that Alonso took), while Narain was off it by a car width. Narain turned in tighter later but Button was already alongside, so inevitably they touched (barely).

    I have absolutely nothing against Karthikeyan (short of him crying about being "bullied"), but yes, HRT can get off the track for all I (and many others) care. A car that is 5, 6, even 7-seconds off the pace at any given race does not belong on the track. They've had several seasons to get their act together, and haven't made a single stride of progress.

    It's also amazing how some random guy on the internet can hold a grudge against another random guy on the internet and judge him as some kind of horrible person because he made a post about not liking fat people.

    It's even more amazing when that random person goes and finds the exact post because it somehow affected him so much.

    Yup, sure is amazing... and creepy.

    What you said was offensive thing to say publicly enough for it to be remembered and attached to your name. When I called you on it and you denied saying hateful things I looked it up, wasn't hard to find as you must say it a lot . It's a a-hole thing to say and yeah you bet I'll ****ing judge you on it. I'd say the same thing to your face if iheard that come out if your mouth in person. You're a tool and everyone on here realizes except you. It is funny people think they are invisible on the internet, but I find it actually magnifies who they are. Sure post back and point at everyone else again.

    lol, shut the f*ck up; you have no idea who I am and the fact that you're forming such a judgment of a person based on a singular opinion (i.e. my disliking fat people) shows you're just as shallow of a piece of sh*t as you think I am.

    You're making yourself out to be more of a tool than I could ever possibly hope to be even if I went out of my way to try. And guess what? "Everyone on here", by and large save for a few individuals, is just as much a tool as you with the way you guys go out of your way to twist my words and attack me every chance you get.

    come on guys. everyone has had good formula 1 input over the years. lets not get nasty. i have had my share of nasty people but if i am called out i apologize or explain myself. no harm done. lets stick to formula 1.

    we end up sounding like the media that twists the actual facts and we ALL hate that.

    so what do you say, lets all make friends again.

    Agreed. I think all us North Americans can agree that unlike hockey or football, it's difficult to have a discussion about Formula 1 with anyone. Let's not destroy this forum with personal insults and attacks.

    EPIC DEBATE!

    When and where is the UFC match going to be?

    Awesome season so far... the racing I meant.

    Very emotional one for Alonso! Props to him (as well as Perez).

    Thumbs up to JB for admitting to the boneheaded move costing him, perhaps, a podium finish. McL really needs to get the tire changes down. Way too many mistakes in that race.

    My hat's off to him for not calling Nahrain insulting names. What a class act.
