Rating Button as the best driver in ’09 is a great joke.

All that has been said before me is wrong and should be stricken from the record. Badoeur was a mis understood flower bud that wasn’t given space/ time to blossom. He was the best driver in 2009!

I’ve seen better driver rankings for 2009 tbh.
Why on earth is Alonso in 5th when Raikkonen, who actually won a race and scored 4 podiums gets 9th?
Makes no sense whatsoever.

I also agree that Barrichello and Webber should be ahead of Hamilton. And Vettel should genuinely be No1.

Kind of up in the air with button. I don’t think he is all that. Honda was lucky enough to develop their car months in advance when they folded. Everyone else struggled out of the gates, except Brawn. Nobody was really competitive until the end of the year. Red bull was the only real threat midway through the season. But Button capitilized on this once in a lifetime oppurtunity though. He is world champ.

I don’t contest the fact that he IS the champion – you got the most points, you win the thing. Is he a worthy WC from a historical perspective? I put him right there with JV, D.Hill, K.Rosberg and A.Jones as the worst WCs I’ve had the opportunity to watch racing. But my grudge with the article above is not over Button being a worthy WC or not: he has never been the best driver of the year; not this year, not ever. He was lucky to find himself with a car a couple of notches above the competition in the beginning of the year and then, when his car became just one of the top contenders (see that it didn’t become a dog: even Barrichelo could win twice with it in the second half of the year) he became an also run. Regarding his passes, well, that is what happens in mid-field all the time. It only seemed especial because, since he was leading the championship, the cameras were on him most of the time during the races.

When we won world championship like Schumi.. we didn’t need any motivation.. the entire team/media will be behind you… Age doesn’t matter.. That’s is not the case with Barrichello.. he didn’t win a race in the last few years…he came from no where… we have to appreciate that..

We need more motivation as well to drive at that level esp when we didn’t win a race for a while…

Unless he challenged.. the championship wouldn’t be interesting…
