Will Perez Move Stick Or Bust?

[Massa 0]

I get the feeling that Button will be really good next year. Sometimes I wonder if his personality is too "normal" for us to think he's a great driver.

Is Hamilton a better driver? In terms of raw speed/talent, sure.

But Button's been just as good at getting results (the things that decide the championships) as Hamilton has been this year and last. If we can see Hamilton as a threat to the title year-in-and-year-out, we can see Button as one, too.

(That does ignore the possibility that maybe we should have never considered Hamilton a title threat, though).

Yeah, nah, Hamilton won't be a title threat next year....or the next one....or the one after that....or the next.....

Perez will do OK - he'll score points, and he'll be more under control at McLaren than he is at Sauber. They have the money for such things as head doctors / sports psychologists etc; Sauber, not so much.

If it was OK for Hamilton to hit Massa every other race the other year and still be considered a threat / fast / whatever, then it's OK if Perez has the odd stumble too.

I'd rather drivers did stumble from time to time actually. Otherwise it's all just robots.
