    He could be a suprise.

    Did many people think in 1996 that in 2 years time Mika Hakkinen would be winning championships? I know I didn't.

    I think given the right car, he can be world champion, but it would need to be a superior car. He's no Alonso, who beat Schuamcher in an inferior car, or Schumacher who nearly beat Villenueve in inferior car etc.

    no, actually i think it was probably genuine, maybe they won't be far ahead, but i think they'll be pretty close to the fonrt for the first few races
    "I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

    Have i travelled back 4 years in time?? :

    Be delighted if Jenson was to stir things up a bit, and win a couple of races, but i don't want to jump the gun and expect this, cause we are bound for disappointment as ever. Let's hope though that he can rediscover some form, and give his loyal fans something to cheer about finally!
    If England ever perform at a World Cup, make sure you wake me up :p:

Unfortunately, he has been somewhat of a disappointment to the Knock-ons and Wedges et al since, much to the merriment of those who don't think he will amount to anything.

    This is his big chance. He has to beat Rubens, the ex team mate and sometime conqueror of the infamous SchM, greatest driver ever to lay hands on a steering wheel. Then, of course, he also has to qualify on the front row, and beat the likes of Kimi, Massa, Lewis, Fonzo, Vettel, and that Polish guy (I keep forgetting his name). If he can do all that, and win the WDC, then he will prove, once and for all, that he is the greatest driver on the track today.

    If he doesn't, then we can always blame the car, can't we!!
    Button could'nt win a WDC even if it was given to him on a silver platter

    Actually I wouldn't mind even tho' I'm a Button fan. I'm just hoping that they both have competitive cars, and consistently good results each round.
    And to the forum member who thinks that Button can't take pressure, IMO he has a very cool head on the track.
    Off track, I don't remember him being anything but polite and cool all those times he has been asked to comment just after parking the Honda yet again, not easy even when you are paid squillions and it's all part of the package. Of course I am biased.

    Valve, even Fernando Alonso and Raikkonen, not to mention Lewis and Massa, have made mistakes under pressure.
