Moment of truth for Hamilton in Abu Dhabi

Hamilton has never lost to his teammate

Lewis Hamilton for the penultimate round of the Formula 1 World Championship 2011 will be on Sunday in Abu Dhabi to the moment of truth. 

The Englishman has never completed a world championship behind a McLaren team-mate, this is about the 2008 World Champion but now by Jenson Button. The five-year old Briton is ahead 38 points and can even go on to the Yas Marina Circuit, the sack.

Button with pace on way to the runner-up

Button is even on the best way to be runner-up behind the towering double champion Sebastian Vettel. At 240 points, Button is looking for his three wins this season, so he has 13 points ahead of third placed Ferrari star Fernando Alonso and 19 on the second Red Bull drivers Mark Webber, go for the second place in the championship probably only hard is.

Hamilton followed with two races to 202 points first to fifth place and is aware that such a clear defeat against the moving material with the same teammates quite a shame. Button sees the left, at least outwardly. "More than to lie in the championship ahead of Lewis are what interest me more wins," said the 31-year-old champion of 2009 in Abu Dhabi.

Hamilton: "If you want to double my quota of victories"

Hamilton in the year so tired of Red Bull and Vettel dominated the world championship just two wins and most recently also been struggling with personal problems because of the separation of celebrity girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger. With further wins will the pain be alleviated. "I want to double my quota of wins," the 26-year-old has made to win the remaining two races.

Quite as far-fetched is not at all. Button and Hamilton were the two most recent race in Abu Dhabi on each platform, Hamilton started from pole in 2009 and went last year with the fastest lap of the race in second place. "I was the driver who most recently was most tightly tuned to Vettel. So we are better than last year at this time. And the track in Abu Dhabi is very contrary to our car, "team-mate Button is convinced.

In the race for the vice-world champion Alonso is also what interested the double world champion but not much. "If you no longer fight for the title, everything else is irrelevant," said the Spaniard.
