One example is Barcelona 2011, Vettel overtook Button in 3 corners literally. Ok, Button was on super worn tyres and Vettel's were new, but Button didn't even put up a fight. That's the difference between Lewis and Jenson I guess, Lewis helps him whenever he can, but Button just won't. The real sad thing is that the team will ask Lewis to help him, and they won't ask the same of Jenson. I didn't give any credit to rumours like "Button's Whitmarsh's man" and that Whitmarsh didn't give a sh!t about Lewis at all, but there is an increasing amount of indicators that it might very well be the case...

Button is a snake. He is mostly at Mclaren for himself.

He wasn't even fast enough to make immediate use of Hamilton's help either.

And who are the rest of the F1 drivers there for? The homeless children?

Driver threads only go one way ....

I'm wondering why we even allow them to start in the first place?

There are some good analytical posts in this thread but they always get ruined by the fans grumbling about their favourite boy not winning.
