That doesn't really take away any of the facts of his success though, i just literally can't understand people saying 90% of his success was down to the car / team, how can that even be possible??

You could say that in any motorsport, but people rarely say Button only won last year because of his car or the same with Hill, Mansell, Villeneuve, Hakinen, Alonso - and in those cases, i think they're far more related to having the best car at the time.

Schumacher lapped everyone up to 3rd place in one wet race, when was the last time anyone did that?
