Why I Like Button

Who was it who said that Jenson Button "will never win another Formula 1 race"?

Hamilton mentions that his team haven't given him a good enough car (which is obvious to anyone watching), and he is accused of not being as team player :confused: ... It all boils down to driver popularity, and some drivers can get away with saying things other drivers can't IMO.... :)

Racing drivers are naturally selfish to some extent.

People look on the '60s as the gentleman era glory days but in his autobiography Jackie Stewart mentioned Jim Clark had 'dark'/ throwing toys out the pram moments. JYS used to seek advice from Clark but when Clark noticed just how good and a threat his friend had become, Clark would go in a mood and not talk to JYS for days.

I think most of us, at some point, must've felt that Jenson's time had passed.

I've always backed him, but after 2008 and the dark days of last winter, I thought it was over for him.

I am sure in the past I would have been guilty of such comment... in fairness it was based upon the state of his team at the time, I for one an more than happy to be proven wrong, feeling vindicated in part by the superior Brawn this season
