"Button Just Needs That First Win"

"Button just needs that first win"

PF1

Jenson Button has everything he needs to become a Formula One World Champion, except for one little thing - his first race victory. That's the opinion of Steve Rider, the new face of ITV-F1.

Even before his first race as ITV's newest F1 presenter, Rider is singing Button's praises as he believes it's only a matter of time before the Honda driver is fighting for the World title.

"Jenson's on the brink of making the breakthrough that will bring him a succession of wins and turn him into a strong Championship contender," Rider said.

"It's certainly not a lack of ability that has been holding him back, that's for sure.

"You couldn't really say at any stage that Jenson has been in a car capable of bringing him half-a-dozen victories.

"He's probably achieved the maximum potential with the machinery he has had at his disposal so far.

"The only thing missing has been luck

I like Steve. His motorsport knowledge is certainly greater than Jim's, and I'm not knocking Jim for that, just stating the facts.

I thought Steve Rider was just a golf man - but I'm glad to see he's a fan of JB!

A youngster I see

Well, Australia anyway...

Perhaps our jackgarrett was unlucky himself. Even Jenson escaped his fate...

I cant wait for people like you to eat their words when button does win. If you think he's not capable then you clearly dont know a good f1 driver when u see one

I don't think he's that unlucky. Good comparison though.

I remember that article, but didn't really agree with it. James was much more aggressive in (and out of) the car, and I think he was a better qualifier. But he did not have the same level of committment to his career (my view) - it was more a job than a vocation. Anyway, the Hesketh 308 was a tidy piece of kit, and he managed a win in that car before he went to McLaren.
