F1 news: Jenson Button falls victim to thief in Londo<\/p>\n

Jenson Button and his wife Brittny fell victim to an opportunistic thief in London in February, with the suspect apprehended and awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to the incident.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s left a sour taste in the mouth of Button\u2019s American wife, who now says the couple have no interest in returning to London.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard countless stories. When we first started dating we would go to London, and it was such like a nice place to be, and now it just feels very kind of dark and scary,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband and I, we really have no interest going back to the UK and it\u2019s a shame, because, you know, we will have to go back for family and work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just feels so unsafe and doesn\u2019t feel how it once was, and it\u2019s just unfortunate because that\u2019s where my children\u2019s grandmother and aunts live.\u201d<\/p>\n

F1 news: Has the Lewis Hamilton \u2018killer trait\u2019 been found?<\/p>\n

According to analyst and commentator Alex Brundle, he can clearly see from Lewis Hamilton\u2019s data where the seven-time F1 World Champion is falling short of teammate Charles Leclerc.<\/p>\n

Brundle, who is an accomplished racer himself, said, \u201cI look at the data from Lewis every weekend. The trait is the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe goes into high-speed corners and hits a little bit more brake pressure than Charles Leclerc.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can draw a line directly up the wheel-speed graph, to the steering trace, and the brake aligns perfectly with a tiny bit of movement. It just upsets the Ferrari everywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeclerc is just Mr. Measured on the brakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that Lewis had a problem with the same thing, I saw the data, at Mercedes.\u201d<\/p>\n
