Lets not forget Buttons roots in F1, Williams were struggling ( unlike McClaren for Lewis ) and Button pulled off some good points with them wrongly Frank loaned him out to Bar Honda and his return to Williams never came about , and Williams continued its F1decline, but Button persevered with Bar gaining experience even buying out his own contract from Williams for £6million so he was always a committed determined to succeed driver ,
Lewis on the other hand was gifted his first chance at McClaren for several reasons other than being a competent driver,with a pushy father he ticked a lot of boxes, in a time of peak political correctness his colour helped to promote him as a motor racing F1 first , his age was also surprising and helped to fuel the media frenzy that McClaren encouraged, all really contibuted to hype him up to something he wasn't , in a time when the McClarens were streets ahead of most of the other teams he couldn't really fail to show some flair,
As an old fogey and knowing how the British press/ public love to set someone up to fail, he certainly ticked that box without any shadow of doubt , it was all too much too soon , and like too many others before him ,he began to believe it once the millions rolled in , he had taken the Devil Ron Dennis's penny and now it was time to repay in other ways than track performance , the truth is still to come out in its entirety on that one since then his performance has been purely average along side others with the same experience
Vettel on the other hand is altogether a different kettle , mature beyond his years , by far the most natural talent and feel for a car , natural at understanding game tactics and actually how his car works as to set up and what does what , appreciative of his position in the motor racing world , sofar not a hint of cockyness , an out of the media lime light lifestyle , other than what is expected sponsor wise , all in all a good egg and pleasure to watch if not a tad boring only to due to the fact that Redbull are at present streets ahead tech wise , history and Bernie will prove their time will be over in the near future , and some newer faster blood will take their place Lewis's time has been and gone , and i dont think the pop group management team 19 will do him any favours for the future other to confirm that at such a young age his career is on the wain , its a shame and he should of managed his career with more maturity
