    not me...I was one who thought that Button in a Mclaren wouldn't work out well for him as it wouldn't suit his driving style...but he's def proved me wrong...kudos to him

    Yes, he is doing great. Maybe he will lose to Lewis, but he will lose with dignity.

    Bunson has a lot of experience! He's almost always been good at extracting the most out of his car. I pretty much think he is doing well on merit, with a fantastic car. I went on record as saying he would be closer to "The Boss" than most would expect!

    He can if he can out-qualify him! All things considered "The Boss" is more talented IMO!

    I thought when the deal was announced that it was a brave move by JB, and that Hamilton would get the better of him.

    I still think it was a brave move, but Button seems to have settled right in at McLaren and is proving to be one half of a very strong partnership.

    Button has been having a likable season. Even if he has been losing to Lewis, he has been close in terms of pace. This means that he also still has title outlooks if he manages to capitalize on Hamilton's setbacks and avoid failures on his own.

    To be honest, after seeing, how Button was struggling in qualifying on Saturday (he barely made it into Q3), I didn't expect him to deliver such result from the weekend. Nice work in terms of damage limitation even in difficult circumstances!

    I don't think he has been losing really. They are leading 1 and 2 with a couple of points between them and had it not been for leaving a air inlet in place, Button would likely be leading the WDC again. I wonder how the points will pan out at the end of the season and pray Lewis doesn't take it by a couple of points because of a silly team error.

    Having said that, I expected lewis to be a bit more ahead and am really happy to see they are on a similar plane (although Lewis is slightly the better racer IMHO).

    What is becoming apparent is that rather than other teams dragging out the corporate line about how well their drivers get on together, Lewis and Jenson do work well and enjoy racing together. By working as a team, McLaren have dragged the car up to be a title contender.

    the lewis and jenson partnership is working a treat. two really strong drivers pushing each other hard. Lewis has the outright pace edge, but jenson has kept him honest and has already made some better calls in strategy earlier this season.

    I see no sourness like the lewis vs alonso relationship in 07. well done all there
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.
