@@orientis1426 the Red Bull was levels above everyone else in 2010, but it’s reliability was poor too. And notice also how Hamilton didn’t win the title with that McLaren either, it wasn’t a championship car. JB did a great job in that team, outscoring the greatest driver of this generation over their time together and beating him over the 2011 season and managing to take the fight to Vettel in 2011, who was driving one of the most dominant cars the sport has ever seen

Jenson Button drove a handsome career in F1. Button won the World Championship in the 2009 season, when Brawn GP and Red Bull were at the same level as cars. Button won six GPs that season, Vettel four GPs, and the team’s other drivers Barrichello and Webber each won two GPs. Button also drove as a teammate to three other world champions, whom he was also able to beat. Button won Jacques Villeneuve in the 2003 season at BAR-Honda. Button then scored 17 points, Villeneuve 6 points. Fernando Alonso’s Button beat McLaren in the 2015 season with 16 vs 11. Button also beat Lewis Hamilton in the 2011 season. Button scored 270 points, Hamilton 227 points. Button also drove excellently in the 2004 season. At the time, Button reached ten podiums at BAR-Honda, as well as third place in the drivers ’scores.

[@rubennus]
