Come on.

You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did

We've yet to see him impress at overtaking but, given that noone can really overtake at the moment, that's not exactly a massive disadvantage.Hansy wrote:Number WDC's Vettle has - 0Jensonb wrote:hahahahahahascotty wrote:And Button's better than Vettel.Vanilla-Bear wrote:The threat of himHeh, my thoughts exactly
Number of Times Vettle has overtaken for the win - 0
Number of Times Vettle has overtaken ever - 0
Number of WDC Buton has - 1
number of times button has overtaking for the win - 2 good ones i can think of
Number of times Button has overtaken ever - lots.
honestly if Webber slamed it past vettle at the start of Oz vettle would be on the team radio unsure of what to do next, as he dosn't understand the concept of an overtake.

So only 2001, 2007 (And that's debatable, there was tonnes of evidence of Button's supremity on race day in 2007 if you cared to look) & 2008.If he was the "ultimate racer lol" as you put it he would have had a better career than he has had till now, he got lucky last season when he had a decent car, when he didnt have the best car his finishes were debatable too say the least, if he was the ultimate racer he would have done better with his finishes than he did last year, He is a good driver yes I will give him that much but too say ultimate racer is a bit foolish and nieve
You people drive me up the wall with your historical revisionism. Just because it didn't happen to lead to an F1 Podium in the Lewis Era doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Money and bad timing is why he was in sub-par equipment so long. Leaving it at that.Jensonb wrote: Oh I see, so 1988-2006, those years just never happened?

The best racing driver implies that Jenson is just the best - which I disagree with.
