Seb is doing great, again he comes across as a top bloke and he was faultless this year.
However I want to see him win a championship in a car that is not the class of the field before I will consider him above Alonso /Schumacher or Hamilton.
Also agreed about Button, he is in the form of his life, much better than when he won the championship. I think Mclaren have the perfect driver partnership. Both excellent racers and with different skills that they can both learn from.

But wasn't the engine mapping taken away approx mid-season? And he's gotten better in the latter half wouldn't you say? But if he's said so himself it's probably true
It's very hard to compare drivers. Even Alonso was struggling with Lewis' pace when they were team mates at McLaren. Which made Alonso do some stupid stuff in frustration. They can all loose their head
Vettel won his first race in a Toro Rosso, which was a mid-field car. OK Q was in the wet, but the final was dry!
I'd love to see Perez, Rosberg, Kobayashi in a top notch car... there's never been as many good drivers in F1 at the same time! IMHO Webber and Massa should give way (i.e. be sacked) for some of the younger & highly talented guys... but I guess the top teams find it ok to have an "also ran" to back their #1 driver
Both Mark and Felipe know their rank by now
I love F1 as it is, but I'd love to see a more standardized chassis. Imagine if all drivers had a competitive car/engine and all of they could fight for the win! Would have been amazing to watch!!!
