100 Starts, Zero Wins

Recommended Posts

Don't take my word for it. F1 Central just posted an small article about it lol.

http://formula-1.updatesport.com/news/arti...-wins/view.html

(GMM) English driver Jenson Button will notch up a century (100) of grands prix without a single win.

Set become one of the highest paid formula one stars with his new 2006 Honda deal, the 25-year-old defended himself at Suzuka when faced with his unspectacular 100:0 statistic.

''I don't look at it like that,'' he told reporters. ''I look at it that I'm only 25 and yet I've done 100 races.

''There's no point keeping on talking about it. The best thing is for me to get out there.''

Button and BAR won't, of course, be a pacesetting force around the Suzuka circuit, even if Honda have unfurled a 'Suzuka special' V10 and BAR some new suspension.

''We won't get anywhere near McLaren,'' JB agreed, ''but we might get reasonably close to Renault.''

No problem for JB as he has 0 wins in 100 gp.

He is right, he is 25, and in 1980 Prost was 25 and that was his 1st F-1 season.

So since Prost anyone can becom 3-times WDC and maybe put a record number of wins over Prost - 2nd best ever (41 wins).

He has retired from 28 of those Grand Prix and already has an all-time absolute F1 record to his name, youth on his side and 12 podiums, 2 pole positions, 75 laps in the lead and 162 points to his name. His F1 career is young: 2000

Indeed, he is young! He has plenty of time, at least 10 years!

In 10 years time Jenson will still be one year one month younger than Michael Schumacher is today.

Indeed. Lets just hope Honda get it right next year!

Ohh i didnt say! Some 20 yr old woman who was fairly fit gave me her number at work today :D but i wont call her, she wasnt really my taste and I am kinda on a NO relationship rule, and i dont think one night stands are all that great (had a few too many already!) but still, was quite cool!

For that is true. Yes the basic quantitative data proves JB has 100 races with no wins to his name, but when you look at what machinery hes been given, its somewhat not so dissappointing!

The conclusion is inherently disappointing to a fan of his but the method is certainly not

He is an articulate, intelligent, sensible man with vast experience of F1, being a former F1 driver, thus he is a good commentator. He was clearly not one of the all-time greats on the track, but that is not a requirement of a commentator.

I'm familier with his carear but not having the chance to hear him lately doing broadcasts I was just wondering............

Jenson is a fantastic driver this is no doubt about it but he still has to learn more to become an Alonso or a Raikkonen or even more possibly a Michael Schumacher!
