    Default Button!

    He should be disqualified, his singing is abysmal!

    But he is a very deserving World Champion. And Braun are very deserving constructors.

    It's a great story and I can't understand the doubts of being deserving. He has lead since Australia, I can't see anything remotely undeserving about that.

    Another good day for British Motorsport, and it'll be good next season too when we have Lewis back in a car that can contend.

    Quite enjoyed the race today, it makes a difference when everyone is trying to win instead of just finish the race. First couple of laps was immense! Really happy for Jenson he's a good driver and if he was in a good car he would have won the championship sooner.

    First off, I'm delighted for the lad, and I'm delighted we've had two British drivers win in successive years.

    Saying that, I have to be honest, I don't feel Button really feels like World Champion. I know he won the first 6 out of 7 races, but it seems like he's done nothing other than pick up a few points here and a few points there. I'm ignorant about F1, but it seems to me he only won the title because at the beginning he had the KERS system, and once the other teams caught up after the ruling he's been decidedly average.

    Still, very nice to see him win, nice to see a Brit win, nice to see another British team win, nice to see Brawn win etc

    brawn never had KERS - they did have the double decker rear diffuser but that is part of making the most of the rules and ross brawn is the master of making the most of the rules.
    its a team effort, JB did well but he didnt do it alone, without ross and the rest of the team he would of watched someone else pick up the title today

    Ive got to say after watching his progress in the past 9 years I dont think he's ever shown the ability or class he has this year, yeah he had a dip in form but all the champions have a little wobble as they get their first title under their belt. I dont care what anyone says he deservedly won it and if hes not deserving what does that say about the people he beat?

    the next race is going to be fun, getting dark and under lights with both championships sewn up...

    It would be nice to see both lewis and jenson in the same team at some point, other than vettel I dont see anyone being able to take it to either of them, although i must say i think vettel is going to get the crown at some point as well

    the cynic in me thinks that wee Bernie had a word in Brauns ear 7 races in and said here a few million now stop winning or else no one will watch

    Button deserves it purely on he has the most points job done

    Lets try then - he's in his 10th year of F1.
    He'd done over 100 races before winning.
    In ten years he's won 7 races.

    Terrible stats for a world champ.

    The first few races he was competing in an F1 car against what can only be described calibrated wheel barrows.

    As soon as the other teams developed their wheel barrows he was nowhere to be seen. Lucky for him by that time he had a big enough lead to secure him the championship.

    He is nowhere near the level of Hamilton and never will be.

    I'm not saying I'm not happy a Brit won the championship but lets be honest as an F1 champ he is mediocre at best.

    I doubt very much he will be in the top 3 drivers next season.

    To be fair Jenson won more races in this season to take the world championship than Lewis did last year. He has never really had a competitive car throughout his career unlike Lewis who went straight into the Mclaren team and had a fantastic car.

    He also scored points in all grand prixs apart from Belgium where he was taken out on the first lap. I say a grand job from Jenson.

    I think you may be right about next season about him not being in the top 3. Top 3 next season will be Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso unless Brawn can come up with another top car (something they did with the millions spent on initial development from Honda)

    Thats because the first fucking 6 races their car was different to everyone elses because a certain Mr Brawn failed to tell the rest of the teams about the diffuser mod.

    They were losing 3-4 seconds a lap on the Brawn cars .

    Once the other teams were told they could do the mod too and started to catchup ( took roughly 6 races) then Button was back to middle of the road again.

    Oh and the cunt needs to learn to shave too the pikey.

    Look at Brawns stats, everywhere he goes he help to create a world champion..
    Next Season, if the car is right, Barrichello will be one of the ones to watch. Button will be in the shadows.

    That said, I am over the moon that another Brit has won it

    Is Barrichello staying at Brawn then?
    Well done to JB.
