No, he did NOT press the button

There is a clip I've been meaning to post since the end of last season. Last year saw some real whoppers published by the "legitimate media" and the back and forth between the UK press and the Spanish media was very amusing. On the UK side you had some real beauties like Peter Windsor's brilliant quote about how it was really unfair Raikkonen, despite having a better overall record, won the championship.

Another fabulous whopper is the following from some dude at Autosport about how it was all really Ferrari's fault for letting Mclaren spy on them.


But the Spanish side had some classics as well, perhaps best of all, Button-gate....no, not as in Jenson but as in Hamilton turned off his own car in Brazil by mistake. It was all much fun at the time and the evidence, on the surface convincing, was posted all over the net. Of course a review of the actual in car footage, the complete footage, makes it clear nothing of the sort ever happened.
OK, hint for the Mclaren boys (and other teams too), rather than blame the internet for your troubles next time just send an anonymous tip to our mailbox...we certainly won't get it as wrong as Autosport or Marca did!
