Button and Perez clear the air.

Now this is how it's done. Can you imagine all the chatting we'd be doing if it was Webber and Vettel?

Would you see this if it was with Alonso and Massa in the Ferrari? Why keep pointing out to the RBR, when few other teams practice the same?

Because it's quite clear that there is a number one, and number two at Ferrari, and Red Bull keeps denying that such a situation exists, when it clearly does.

When was the last time Massa and Alonso ever disagreed in public?  Whatever you think of the situation, you've got to agree that they act very professionally about it.

I would guess that the Schumacher era brought in a whole new perspective in writing contracts at Ferrari, and they have dotted their i's and crossed their t's in a way that no other team does with regards to the public responsibilities of their drivers.  Especially after Rubens was there.

Irvine was every bit as vocally bitter as Rubens when he left Ferrari too.

I hope Massa isn't bottling that up too.

It's nice when the drivers feel like they can be open and honest, even if that honesty reflects poorly on the team.  That's why we love Kimi so much! (Vettel might be an ass, but at least he's honest about it  )

Jenson was cheesed off that Perez was banging a team mate. I reckon they told him don't hit your mate and let it go at that. If Vettel wins the WDC again, I may have to find a new sport to follow.

No, Rubens was a whiner while he was AT Ferrari.  That's why I think they are probably really careful now, and why Massa just sucks it up (he likes his expensive watch collection, and wants it to keep growing).

I like the way McLaren do things in this respect. They let their drivers fight as much as they can and it is a much better spectacle. Granted sometimes it may cost them trophies, for example in 2007 either Fernando OR Lewis could have and should have won the drivers title but neither did. Plus i think Jenson is a much more relaxed and mature driver than most to be honest.
