Button certainly knows how to go out in a 'blaze' of glory.  ::)

Apparently Honda told Jenson to stop and not to roll over the finish line thus losing 3 world championship points but it means there will be no engine penalty.

OK Wizard!

Not sure about our Button. Something's missing, don't think he's gonna make the big time!

Button's a great driver and remember he has never had the luxury of a seat in a Renault, McLaren or Ferrari so straight away your chances of winning are waaaay down.

Honda need to do some serious work if they want to win, perhaps Jenson, having never been that successful cannot advise them they way Schumacher advised Ferrari to make them champs again.

Who knows? Us Brits eh, always the underdog.  ::)

Gotcha Wizard, I hear what your saying!

What I mean is I see him as a bit of a "Coulthard" who in his prime had one of the best set-up's but still could'nt cut it!

I hope I'm wrong Wizard because I quite like Jenson!

Every one rates Button but I dont think hes got what it takes to hack it against Alonso and Kimi!

Button started at Williams then went to Benetton then Renault didn't he?

Yep slugger your right but Williams in 2000 was not competitive, although they finished third in the constructors championship it was 116 points behind McLaren!

He then moved to Benetton in 2001, again not competitive, scoring only 10 points the whole season between both drivers.

Since then as we know he has been with BAR/Honda. Perhaps it's just me sticking up/wishing for another British Champion. Hill in 1996 seems sooooo long ago.
