I watched the race last night, absolutely amazing. He managed to create a huge gap each time the safety car had came in.

Jenson Button is the Tim Henman of the F1 world. Hamilton is the real deal, a sportsman we can be proud of,  to him!

C'mon, Jenson Button shouldn't be disregarded just because a new Brit has entered the lime-light.
Yes Lewis is extremely talented and the start to his season has been truely immense and better than anyone could have predicted. But unlike him, Jenson didn't get to jump straight into the seat of one of the fastest cars in F1. He's struggling at the moment due to the limitations of his car. I know a good workman should never blame his tools but in this case it's true. I have no doubt that Button would be up there with the best this year if he had taken the opportunity to go to Williams.
Don't get me wrong, I think Hamilton is a breath of fresh air to F1, especially after the loss of Schuey but Button is still capable.

Bit harsh, I'm sure Button would be excellent in a McLaren aswell.
Lewis Hamilton = New Ayrton Senna.

agree with that!
Hamilton was brought up with McLaren (signed with them at 11) and unlike other drivers, he was given his first spot in one of the best teams on the grid. And to be honest, if Button was sitting in a McLaren, he would be putting in some impressive times - we know he has the skill from his win at the hungaroring (and he started from 12th place), like radicalry00 has said it's his car that is the one letting him down. Hopefully the new developments for the car are going to help him when he gets back to Europe!

jenson button is good though as said, it's just the car that lets him down a lot of times e.g. breaking down, engine blown stuff like that which isn't just his fault.

Hell no, Button is far too relaxed, he isnt focused enough.
Hamilton has proved to be good so far, and Senna was good, but Senna was outstanding in the wet, we've yet to see Hamilton in the rain.

Ist not true at all, If Sato can get 6th in a Super Aguri which I can only assume are using last years Honda engines, Button has no excuse. He has the car, but isnt meeting the standards. He doesnt seem focused enough in my eyes.
