Jenson brings a lot to any team. However he doesnt bring something in particular to the top teams, which is an ability to lead a team and win titles despite not having the best car. He is not that type of coveted driver in the Alonso Lewis or Seb mode - a game changer that is able to get results beyond normal. The others bring time to the car, Jensons skills are more in bring consistent points and making no mistakes or taking big risks. This is something good for some teams, however I think the only issue anyone has ever had with Jenson is when at a top team like McLaren, he is suddenly promoted beyond his contributions and even worse, at the expense of a more traditional 'top talent driver' and actually tries to pretend it is so
This is not necessarily his own fault. He has lots he brings to teams but the Peter principle seems to work on track as well
Before the usual moaners start complaining, try to note that this is a response to a current post. If you heard any part of it before, dont whinge, just ignore it

Jenson must bring something useful to the table for Williams, Renault, BAR, Honda, Brawn and McLaren. Is JB the fastest driver? NO! Is JB the best development driver? NO! Is JB the most marketable driver? NO! But he does do most things well and brings decent results on [most] race days; he's like the complete package for teams when you combine speed, development and marketability. This is why he has been in F1 for 15 years; he wouldn't be getting paid $15m if McLaren thought he was useless as some people make him out to be!
