I just couldn't help laughing for 20 seconds straight reading this article....
Jenson Button said he was "a sitting duck" in the final laps of the British Grand Prix as he tumbled from sixth place to 13th in his home grand prix.
The McLaren driver and team-mate Sergio Perez had come through to sixth and seventh places as others pitted during the safety car for Sebastian Vettel's stranded car.
But Button said the combination of a late restart and cars behind on newer tyres was a worst-case scenario for McLaren's current issues.
"When the safety car came out at the end, I had quite old tyres and was just a sitting duck," he said.
"I couldn't get any tyre temperature. That's one of our issues anyway and when you've got no tread you definitely can't get tyre temperature.
So Button admits he is a duck who is sitting because his wings don't work, I.e a lame duck
And he blames the car!
Funny how there's is not a single person alive who saw the race and would not expect Sergio to finish inside the points bar tyre
Even though Sergio had the older floor and Button had the upgrade on his car
Sergio has whipped him 5 races in a row, has dnfed and had bad luck in almost each race, and yet Button, the senior team leader who is building a team around him and has made the team his, and the team have really listened to his direction on the car
is still only a handful of points ahead of the raw junior who is there to be groomed by Whitmarsh
I hope anyone who actually fell for the hype about Button, and ignored hard facts pre 2009, ( actually, include the second half of 2009) are feeling happy about themselves because they are complicit in the ruin of a great team. What excuses are there now for the tyre master?
Who can honestly say that they do not look to Sergio for any glory from McLaren nowadays? Yet he is paid a tenth of self proclaimed lame ducks 3rd highest wage
