An amazing coincidence in Button's and Hamilton's championship wins... - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**welihiedginly** · 10-19-2009, 06:53 PM

2008 season...

Lewis Hamilton wins the F1 Drivers World Championship as:
- A British/English Driver
- Running the number 22
- In a car powered by a Mercedes-Benz engine
- By accumulating enough points to win by finishing 5th in the Brazilian GP at Interlagos

2009 season...

Jenson Button wins the F1 Drivers World Championship as:
- A British/English Driver
- Running the number 22
- In a car powered by a Mercedes-Benz engine
- By accumulating enough points to win by finishing 5th in the Brazilian GP at Interlagos

Freaky!!

**HaroldMY** · 10-19-2009, 07:14 PM

Weird...

I might get a number 22 tattooed on my arm after this..

**intorkercet** · 10-19-2009, 07:17 PM

It'll be interesting to see who is wearing the No.22 next year then.

**ancexiaepidge** · 10-19-2009, 07:18 PM

And both ended the hopes of a Brazilian driver on their home turf.

**DrunkMans** · 10-19-2009, 07:30 PM

Both won six races*

*Can of worms

**Barryrich** · 10-19-2009, 07:39 PM

Really strange and cool

**adariseediups** · 10-19-2009, 08:11 PM

*Can of worms

I think you're wrong.

**clubcughSheet** · 10-19-2009, 08:40 PM

Both won six races*

If you count wins on the track rather than decided in a court room

And assuming Button doesn't win in Abu Dhabi.

**mr.supervideogoodfd** · 10-20-2009, 01:30 AM

Plus both title rivals started from pole at their home grand prix in brazil.

but its not all coincidence.

Button has a stupid beard. Lewis does not.

**NarhozNic** · 10-20-2009, 01:30 AM

Both are COCKY as hell too.

**HaroldMY** · 10-20-2009, 01:32 AM

Both are COCKY as hell too.

They sure are, but I would hope Lewis is abit more cocky

**mr.supervideogoodfd** · 10-20-2009, 01:37 AM

actually i think jenson is far more cocky, his celebrations yesterday showed that. Plus, i think lewis has more right to be cocky. Button is good, but Lewis is sublime like alonso, kimi etc. he is the equal best IMO, Jenson is less so

**MightyMasd** · 10-20-2009, 02:22 AM

It will be a driver with one of the new teams

**ssupermegatone** · 10-20-2009, 02:59 AM

Just wondering... prior to Hamilton, when was the last time the no. 22 driver won the championship?

**Barryrich** · 10-20-2009, 03:08 AM

Both are COCKY as hell too.

Yes, but both are cool as well

**I9dydJrX** · 10-20-2009, 03:09 AM

See, I learned as a child, when you can't sing, don't sing. I can't sing, so I never do. Someone should let Button listen to his radio transmission at the end of the race.

What was with Jenson's (horrible) rendition of Queen's "We Are The Champions"??? Gosh, that was both bad and pitiful at the same time. 17 slum dogs in Sao Paolo committed suicide, or so I hear. And oddly enough, 17 people from Honda committed suicide in Japan yesterday too. Hmm...

I have nothing against Button. But IMO, a slightly above average driver in a fantasic car won the WDC. And there's nothing wrong with that. But I think the real story (and strength) of this season is what the Brawn outfit did as a group. And good for them all, including Button.

I'd like to see Freddie Mercury (fully fit not dead of course) sing "we are the champions" on the wind down lap, out of breath, his face squashed from both sides in tight fitting a crash helmet, and after completing 71 of the Brazilian Grand Prix... With that in consideration I think Button would win that one...

He was just having a laugh with his engineers.

**mr.supervideogoodfd** · 10-20-2009, 03:43 AM

thankfully, at least he wasnt auditioning for X factor. as far as i am aware!

**NarhozNic** · 10-20-2009, 04:57 AM

Also both Hamilton and Button had sensational first halfs to the season, then both ALMOST choked away the WDC.
