MP4-29?
Remember him relying on Lewis' setups back at McLaren? Every weekend this dude whines about the fucking car. He has a very narrow operating window and only shines during the inters>slick conditions which Hamilton and Alonso are also very good at, so I don't get why he's so highly praised for it. Oh, I remember, it's because of Canada 2011. The drive that all Button fans cling too. Button is known for capitalizing on other drivers' mishaps and playing it safe. He's average.
We are still talking two different things.
What you are bringing up are examples from the race weekends. What I´m talking about is the time in between.
And for the bad cars - you surely do not want to suggest, that the (dev) driver is alone in the responsibility to bring the car forward? That formula has two sides to it: the driver giving the input and the engineers receiving and implementing it.
