    Yes exactly, because when it was him and Barrichello in the same car they were totally evenly matched!!!

    I read an interesting blog post on (I think) the BBC, the premise of which was that Button is un-matchable in a perfect car, but if there's even the slightest thing wrong with it, he struggles. Other drivers can't match him when he's got a perfect car but don't fall off as much when they have a below perfect vehicle.

      that was pretty much evident by the driving for half the season when the car wasn't up to scratch

        I doubt Button will go to McClaren as he won't want to play second fiddle to Hamilton.

          £10M buries a lot of feelings

                Yes.

                There were years at Ferrari where Barichello was nowhere compared to Schumacher, and other years when they were quite close. Different drivers react to different cars, but only the true great drivers consistently win in varying cars.
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
