No-one likes a bad loser, but the Brits seem to have a wonderful knack of being bad winners. And bad losers. Y’know, because they always lose at stuff. I have maintained for many years now England will never win another FIFA World Cup™ because they’re all atheists. “God is a Brazilian” after all, but not when it comes to F1 it seems. Poor Rubens Barrichello. It’s like his house always burns down when he has a braai in his own backyard.
Button. Probably supports Chelsea.
But I guess we should grudgingly give Jenson Button some measure of kudos for wrapping up the world title. However it spoke volumes for me about the man’s character when he was stuck behind Kamui Kobayashi for lap after excruciating lap. Button got on the team radio and complained about Kobayashi weaving and blocking him. Please. It was his Grand Prix debut and as a World Champion elect it’s your job to get past him. Kobayashi drove defensively and legally, although his honour was called into question later on when he swerved dangerously in front of Kazuki Nakajima sending him on a murder ride into the barriers.
