just thought id say, ive followed F1 since Lewis started racing (hearing he was really good in lower formulae) so thought id give it a go and have loved it since, he was and still is my undisputed favourite driver (closely followed by Kobayashi and Button). I knew who Jenson was but i always thought he was utter crap, never took into account his cars etc but just thought hes in it for the ride. So when he won in 2009 even then i passed it off as the car being too good and it was an abnormality in F1.

But this year he has totally blown me away. Even to the point where hed won two races and Lewis hadnt i passed it off as lucky strategy calls but recently ive realised hes such a clever capable driver, that the only difference between him and Lewis is their approach to racing. I never liked his attitude and seemed to blame things on other people etc, but hes impressed me immensely this year, hes clearly the cleverest and smoothest racer out there, and he knows how to actually race too as oppose to strategy winning. He'll never be my favourite over Lewis, but massive respect to Button for showing everyone you really are a WDC, just thought id put this out there

+1 and ive followed for a lot longer than that.

[What's Burning?]

doesn't hurt that he's one of the better looking drivers on the grid.

[NocturnalTendencies]

He seems like a pretty nice guy off the circuit as well from the outside looking in.

[Hammer278]

Yeah, to be honest at the start of the year I thought he would do slightly better than Kovaleinen, comparing to Lewis.

But he's WDC material after all, though not one of the best WDCs on the grid today. IMO, Alonso, Lewis, Michael (were) are better quality WDCs. Jenson is definitely a better WDC than Damon Hill as well, for me.

I say go for it FRAFPDD, ill be there for Jessica, She will see that she shouldn't stand in the way of true love!

[FRAFPDD]

Naaahh ill have Jessica please, speaking of which i dont watch the x-factor for any other reason then to see kids hitting each other, but i watched it just to see if there was any mention of Lewis with Nicole Scherzi being a judge and she is HHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT.

From our agent's surveillance log:

Tuesday, 23:08 hours:
Followed suspect [JB] to his home. Started high-tech surveillance of the perimeter and dwelling. Recorded suspect's actions. Suspect retrieved stolen heart from his black duffel bag and placed it in freezer. Grabbed what appeared to be a bottle of Stolichnaya and a passed out female companion (alternatively, could have been a flaccid blow-up doll) to retire to the bedroom.

Tuesday, 23:58 hours:
Found a window ajar. Entered the premise. Retrieved stolen heart from freezer, wrapped it in bubble wrap to place in lunch box. Expeditiously left the suspect's home.

Wednesday, 10:30 hours:
Handed over stolen heart to client and rightful owner of said heart - could see on face some expression of gratitude and relieve mixed in with a hint of melancholy.

I have this discussion few days ago..Who is most overrated between Button and Hill...?I think is Button..
Just look at his 2 wins this year..Only tactic and tactic and tactic....At Spain he can't overtake Schumacher with a fastest car in over 15 laps...
He is perhaps the worst WDC in history at overtakes...
Really is not an argument..He isn't even close to Lewis..
I have to laugh with the media at the start of the season because compare the Hamilton/Button with the Senna/Prost...
Hamilton>>>>>>Button but Senna>Prost(even I hate him Prost was one of the five Greatest drivers ever)

And Lewis manages to stick his car into the back of Massa at turn 3 of the 1st lap destroying his own race.

Every driver has bad days go back and look at Button's performances especially in competitive cars and you will see he is probably 1 of the best overtakers on the grid.

Button has 1 big flaw and that is that he cannot drive a car that isn't perfectly tuned for him which has caused him to severely under perform even when he should be very competitive, compare that to lewis who seems to be able to drive anything that has wheels but makes quite a large number of mistakes.

I would still say Lewis is the better driver but you seriously haven't watched Button drive if you believe he is a bad driver.

On a good day in cars that suite them it would be a close race between Lewis and Button.

[Jabberwocky]

your right, Button can not overtake, just look at the last few races of last year, he never overtook anyone [/sarcasm]
