Any of his loyal band want to provide the excuses this week??
It's all Barrichello's fault, if he hadn't been in front then Jenson wouldn't have slid into him.
PS Not a Jenson fan, I think he is another DC (ok but not great, how many world championships did DC's teammates win ?).

Yes,but DC won a Grand Prix in his first full year with Williams,and scored race wins fairly consistently till about '04-and it's taken JB how long to win one race? 5yrs?

where did Button finish?
Tell me he at least beat one Brit in the form of Davison, in the Honda 'b' car?

before anyone thinks im having a go here, its a serious question - all i saw of Button was he came out of the pits and tried to race his team mate immediatly, and IIRC he knocked his own front wing off?
Its very easy to sit in front of a TV and criticise. But remember that those guys are the top 22 drivers in the world. Can you say that about you and your profession? I didn't think so. If you'd every tried competative racing you'd know how easy it is to make a mistake. I'm not defending any particular driver here, but some people don't apreciate the skill involved in driving one of those things. They all deserve applause for just getting to the grid.

I agree with you to a point...
however, money asside, no way are these the top 22 drivers in the world.
Front half of the grid has some top tallent, but you trying to tell us that Ralf/Speed/Sutil/webber/etc are in the top 22 then sorry, that's just wrong.
there are a shed load of very talented drivers out there is many serise that just never had the breaks/money/backing to make it into F1

The ability of even a poor F1 driver would no doubt astonish the majority, but in the case of at least 50% of the current grid they are only there due to the money they can bring with them, not on the basis of any kind of talent

Button said:
Unfortunately, as I exited the pit lane after my first stop, I hit the kerb on the apex and that threw me offline. I lost my front wing as I touched the right rear of Rubens' car and I had to come back in for a nose change and that was that really in terms of fighting for a point.

Thanks for that, it certainly looked like he was trying to race Rubens from where I was sat.. but as said, its easy to sit on the sofa and critise... so thankfully, I know my posts wont be critised, because apparantly, its just as easy to sit behind a computer and critise
