Imagine being overtaken by a rookie debut in a midfield car on your championship winning race

[@Tomas044]

At that point in the season the brawn car was a midfield car

[@thekingmansplainer6813]

Sometimes when Button looks in his rear view mirror while he's driving, he'll see Kobayashi in his mirror and it gives him a little scare.

[@SIXITHS]

If I could choose any driver to bring back into F1 again, without any shadow of a doubt it would be Kamui. I couldn't believe that this was his first ever race whilst watching it live in 2010. I still find it a little mad a dozen years later. If only Toyota had stayed in F1 one more season...

[@kben24]

Toyota would’ve had the 2nd best car on the grid behind Red Bull… I really believe that!!

[@JT-ko2ib]

@@kben24 Nah, they would have messed up again. 2009 was a high point. A champion driver could have had 2/3 wins in that car.

[@kben24]

@@JT-ko2ib Red Bull, Ferrari, & Mclaren we’re Top 3 in 2010. Toyota would’ve been no lower than 4th… with Glock & Kobayashi getting some podiums, possibly a win. Raikkonen was offered a contract for 2010 as well.

god bless k ben for making my favourite driver kamui

[@bighand1530]

Looking forward to seeing him in the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series race?

[@10acious32]

The camera work in that era was so damn good, they make the cars actually look fast compared to modern F1.

[@joh2434]

They looked faster back then because they were much smaller. They want to reduce the size of the cars for 2026, hope they do 🤞

[@10acious32]

@@joh2434 that on top of the FOV and use of stagnant shots that make them look fast. It's like they hired photographers instead of videographers for modern F1.

Algorithm was too strong!! Kobayashi clips were taking over F1 KZbin… I had to kill it off before things became toxic.

Jenson Button (World Champion) vs Kamui Kobayashi aka G.O.A.T.(Galaxy Champion)

[@MDE_never_dies]

When Button looks under the bed he makes sure Kobayashi isn't there.

[@TWProductions90]

Jensen Button and Kobayashi will both be in the NASCAR Indianapolis road course race, Kobayashi will be in a Toyota

[@Blackout201_]

Man Button got lucky that his car was so damn overpowered during the first half of the season and that his teammate was so old already. He ain't a terrible driver but without that OP car he wouldn't have won the championship.

[@10acious32]

Without an op car none of the F1 greats would have won the championship.

[@thejman99]

That’s pretty off the mark. Button is terribly underrated. 3rd place in 2004 behind the two Ferraris, truly the best of the rest that year. He beat Lewis in 2011, going 1-2 with him during their time as teammates. As well as going 1-1 with Fernando when they were at Mclaren. He’s not exactly on the level of those two (not many are) but he was a great driver.

[@Mogzilla86]

💯

[@pato20995]

The gap between Brawn and the rest was not even half as big as the gap between Mercedes and the rest for 8 years

[@Firemarioflower]

@@10acious32 Hamilton won in a car that rivalled another car. As did Vettel, and he fought against two strong teams with good cars , and more straight line speed

[@fenhen]

Imagine how much better this battle would have been with DRS. 🤨

[@RickZanardi]

Better? Like Button sailing past 200 metres before the corner on the first attempt and waving goodbye? 😅

[@Firemarioflower]

You're an idiot. DRS makes racing boring...... UNLESS you mean the 2011 DRS regulations, so that the defending car has a way to fight as well instead of being a sitting duck.

[@Willie_Pete_Was_Here]

@@FiremarioflowerRemember that DRS was supposed to be temporary but now it’s a crutch for F1.
