Jenson Button

A quality dissing from Eddie Irvine:

"Rubens Barrichello is a good little peddler and murdered Jenson in the second half of last season. Michael (Schumacher) never got murdered by anyone. Lewis came into his first year in F1 and beat a double World Champion in Fernando Alonso - that's a class act.

"If you look at Jenson's career, Ralf Schumacher beat him, Giancarlo Fisichella beat him and Rubens beat him. There are too many races where he hasn't performed, to say he's at the level of any of those guys."
