Occasional Ramblings

When Jensen Button won the Formula1 World Championship in 2009 as usual the English press went into 'over the top' mode, declaring that he was a brilliant driver.

Before this season started i told anyone who would listen that Lewis Hamilton was the better of the two drivers and that the only time that Button really comes into his own is either when his rivals have technical issues or the track is wet.

A look at the season so far has shown this to be true, as did the Belgian Grand Prix today.  Before he was taken off the track by Vettel he was doing well but once again it was because parts of the track were wet.  If anyone doubts what i say my point was confirmed by McLaren Mercedes, Team Principal, Martin Whitmarsh when he said  - commenting on Jensen's performance ,  "We've seen how good Jenson is in wet conditions " .

So don't expect him to win another World Championship any time soon unless the aforementioned conditions are met.
