buttons done a great job, his first 7 races were flawless, his last 7 races have been abysmal.
if he'd managed to pop in the odd podium in between the last 7 races, my opinion would be different.
he seems to have lost it.
"i'm 100% sure alonso, kimi and hamilton would have kept it together."
"But how would you know that?"
we both know alonso would have done, when has he ever lost it?
kimi from 2003 to 2007 would have.
as for kimi in 08, he was still in with a chance up until valencia, after that and his crash at spa, i'm sure he just gave up, the last few races in 09 shows that he's still got it if he want to produce the goods.
hamilton, he did his best to throw the championship away both times, but this was down to driver error, pushing over the limits, not someone who has lost confidence.
sure lewis' season wasn't as consistent as it could have been, but at every race you knew he would be in contention for the win or the podium, you just don't feel like that with button or any of the contenders.
of course you can add that the progress of mclaren and ferrari have made are making it more difficult for the brawn to win, but they still do have an advantage on the field, and the driver should exploit it, but he's not.
like ec83 has said, it feels like the winner will stumble across the line.
don't get me wrong, whoever wins will be a deserving champion as they driven the season better than anyone else, for me personally, the way its gone and the amount of poor driving can not warrant the true world champion status in my mind
