Thing is that JB doesnt like understeer, doesnt do oversteer and has said himself he needs a perfectly balanced car to extract the maximum grip and performance. He has said things like ' I cant handle this, this makes me uncomfortable' etc
when the car is balanced and he is confident of not losing it in a corner then he can plant his right foot like others.
Now its true that he can and has won races without a perfectly balanced car, and those are in changeable conditions where its not that he suddenly drives at the limit or hustles round a corner, its more that he is on the right tyres and no one else is etc
So he can win races when car is not perfectly balanced if he is on the right setup for the conditions and no one else is. we saw this at I think the second last race last year, where he was on the right tyre and drove faster than Lewis, but once Lewis was on the right tyres JB got smoked
When its wet and everyones on wet tyres JB dont shine, whereas Senna, Lewis, MS clearly do.
i think Perez will show us exactly how good Button is

The point i am trying to make is that it is a myth that Button needs perfect balance to win races, not if he is good in the wet or not, that was just an example used to try and demonstrate my point.
