You couldn't make this stuff up could you ?, Hamilton mouths off about the fact that he's fitter than Button, and when given the ideal opportunity to back up his boast he runs to daddy and seeks a way out!!!.

The FIA transcript of that particular press conference is revealing in that it shows what happens when you continually talk yourself up, people begin to resent you, clearly the case when the comments made by JV + DC are read, you cant say to an F1 driver (and pretty accomplished triathlete) "you've got a bit of a belly" without having the substance to back it up, obviously Hamilton has shown once again that he, like his boasts, are made with very little substance.
