Jenson Button's last race win

[rallycross]

Don't know about you but I'm increasingly fed up with the continual hype about Jenson Button, a man who has yet to prove what he can do at the top level.

Here are some of the bare facts that the press seem to have forgotten.

Button's almost completed 100 grand prix's now:
Fasted laps - none
Wins - none

Buttons last race win: 1999 in F3.
He did one year in F3 and only came 3rd in the British Championship (beaten by Mark Hynes (1st) and Luciano Burti, 2nd).

Last championship win - 1998 Formula Ford Championship (thats 1600 cc entry level single seaters).

An interesting F1 stat might be how often he's simply let other drivers by without any sort of resistance.

So, other than three F3 wins 6 years ago he's not actually proved himself at the higher levels of the sport, and yet the F1 teams are fighting over his services for next year.

You can go a long way if you create enough hype!

Some great replies on this thread, reads like a great depth of knowlege to be found on Pistonheads.

Would still like to see Button winning, my point was the hype being propogated the the likes of ITV doesnt add up to what we've seen so far.

Lets see what happens in the rain in Spa this weekend.. (if we get a race)
