Button is no match for Kimi and Alonso i agree.
But again ill bring sato up. sato kept fizzy more than honest in 2002 in terms of raw pace. and in 2001 and 2002 Button was focused on f1.
the only season you can use as judgement of his pace is 2003, 2004 and 2005.
If Sato could keep fizzy honest JB would have been on par with him.. if JB were focused imo he would have bene equal if not better than Giancarlo
about Trulli - he was quick for a period of 10 laps :\
again i would not rate him as high as i do JB and fizzy
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

sato didnt keep fisi honest - fisi was driving a jordan. and he got a win. winning a race in that jordan is probably equal to 3 or 4 scumacher/ferrari titles.
same with fisi this year - he has no chance. if it was fisi v alonso maybe we'd see different ot what we see as it is now with fisi v renault.
button is over hyped. the fact that we're talking about him at all is giving him too much hype. he hasnt won a race. he has as many f1 wins as alex yoong. and me.

watch 2002, dont look on the surface ie Satos crashes look at the times.
and yes that win... yes it deserves a mention. Its not like he won by default or anything. wow u really dont consider Shumachers hard earned titles worth much do you :\
It is entirly Giancarlos fault, the way he is performing. He has let himself get down and let himself think Renault are providing Alonso with better equipment..
you will never see the likes of kimi feeling or thinking that.. to even think it is just pathetic.
button being over-hyped is true but only by Britian.
but then who in Britain isnt over-hyped. Cricket, Tennis (badly), Football.
Britian always overhypes its sportstars, but thats the way we are and you cant fault.
