Their driving styles are hugely different

You chose to move teams for a new challenge, joining McLaren Mercedes as you feel they offer the best opportunity to win again.Yet from minute one, you are not treated as number-one The team you should be leading belongs to someone else The other driver is king here, loved, honoured and obeyed. The car, the racing suits, the seats all designed to bring out the best in a driver you know you are better than. You have nothing to prove to anyone, yet he rules this particular kingdom. You're new, he's been a part of the team, the McLaren family since he was a child.This is nothearsay or speculation on what Jenson Button may face next season, it's the story of Fernando Alonso's time in the Silver Arrow. Alonso joined Hamilton at McLaren for the 2007 season, as the reigning World Champion.

He was offered no special treatment and the teamdeferred to Hamilton far more often than the Spaniard, who left after one season. He returned to an uncompetitive Renault, forced to prove himself again.Yet Button seems to not to have learned from this mistake and has left Ross Brawn and his old team behind for the start of his title defence. He will already be at a serious disadvantage behind his new teammate,

who knows the team inside out, and will have already have huge knowledge of next season's car.Their driving styles are hugely different. All of which leaves you wondering how the team can hope to produce a car to suit both men, or if it will even tryWhat the pairing of the last two champions does give us, however, is a fantastic, enthralling, engaging story. It is one which Formula One fanatics cannot help but become excited by, whichever way it happens to unfold throughout the season. It is one which will draw even more casual viewers to the sport and no doubt provide us with countless talking points over the next year.. I know this is somewhat old news, and as such, this article may not see much traffic.But I don't care.

I have been thinking about how to approach this article since the story broke, and I felt the best way to do so was to just explain to people the life that Dikembe Mutombo has lived.Mutombo was known for his tough, defensive play. The four-time defensive player of the year was not shy about letting his presence be felt on the court, as well as making you look bad in the process.The famous finger wave is what I will always remember, especially during his days with the Rockets.I will never forget him doing the finger wave when he blocked Shaquille O'Neal one game, then Shaq did the same later in the game and was awarded with a technical foul. The reasoning was Dike had learned to wave his finger to the crowd, rather than at the player.But this article is not about his on-courtachievements.Dike is one of the great humanitarians of our time. However, coach John Thompson recruited him to play basketball, and the rest is history.While at Georgetown, Dike not only had to go through the rigorous college curriculum, but he also had to learn English through the ESL program He would graduate with a B.A. in linguistics and diplomacy.Almost more impressive was his internship at the United States Congress, which perhaps foreshadowed this most recent honor.After being drafted by Denver No. Its main purpose was to improve living conditions in his native Congo.In 1996, he paid for the Zaire (now Congo) Women's National team's trip to the Olympic Games in Atlanta, bought them uniforms, and even covered their expenses.His greatest contribution to his home country is the 29 million dollar hospital facility that opened in February of 2007.

It is located near the capital city of Kinshasa, where 7.5 million people live in poverty. Dike personally donated 3.5 million of his own money to this project.Dike is the only NBA player to win the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award twice, which is given for "outstanding service and dedication to the community."His contributions were soon noticed by the United States government. In 1999, he was selected as one of 20 winners of the President's Service award, the highest honor for volunteer work in our country.George Bush invited and even mentioned Dike in his 2007 State of the Union Address, referring to him as a "son of Congo." Dike said after, "My heart was full of joy. I didn't know the President was going to say such great remarks."His most recent efforts include the Basketball Without Borders program, which sends NBA players around the world in an effort to spread the game of basketball to new places.Growing up, Dike was always one of my favorite players and someone I looked up to.
