Refreshingly, Button was talking candidly, rather than the usual "PR Speak" so often trotted out nowadays. But inevitably the 'sour-grapes' brigade have got to snipe and sneer.
Well done Button - it's really good to have another British World Champion.

Gave up reading the posts after page 2 - so much spite coming out - if you don't agree with someone, then you don't agree - No need to insult (that just shows YOUR mentality). It's another reason I love it when a British driver wins the WDC - there are so many hate posters come out from under their sad stones!! I don't mind which of them win next year as long as it's either Hamilton or Button - just keep 'em coming!

Much as I dislike Silverstone, having attended every British GP there and at Brands Hatch between '66 and '99, I would rather see a race there, than have no British GP at all. But didn't the FIA come out last year/this year and state that certain "heritage" races would be safe? If that's so, then Ecclestone can posture all he wants, but will have to agree. Or maybe that's been quietly forgotten about.

Make it a commercial operation - charge the teams a price to enable the supplier to make a profit.

How true. How sad, also, that Tom Wheatcroft should have died, with his work so butchered.

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Just one (more) thought - next year there's no refuelling - so the smooth style of driving will become even more important in conserving a car. Well I think there's not much argument over who has the smoothest style at the wheel, with the least apparent input. So let's see what 2010 brings...

However inappropriate or "non-PC" you might consider his comments, BE is absolutely right. Senna's death reached out way beyond the sport itself, very much as did Jim Clark's in '68. The reaction following that tragic weekend, whether you consider it "knee-jerk" or not brought safety right back to the forefront. The HANS device, additional crash and cockpit protection are a DIRECT result of that accident in '94, just as the introduction of Armco, and the safety crusade by JYS followed April '68. As Richard said, read the article properly, then comment on the contents, not your personal emotion.

What is it about us Brits that we always have to knock our successes? Is it envy, or can we just not deal with success? Personally I am really pleased that he's won it, and suspect that next year will prove him not to be a "one-hit wonder" And absolutely agree with robbreid's comment - just goes to prove the old saying: "What do you call an intelligent American? A Canadian!" Oh, and just for the record, I live in America.

Latest (from Gillett) is that they have (yet) another 2 weeks. Smoke and mirrors evidently DO work to give an illusion... And, of course he (Gillett) is banking on stretching the timeline beyond a perceived date that Silverstone could take over. His comments about thinking of the fans sound faintly hollow.
