    Congratulations and all that but

    He forgot he was british in his post victory behaviour

    Sure that the likes of Jackie Stewart Graeme Hill and even James Hunt conducted themselves with a little more dignity after securing the title

    :)

    James Hunt

    Very dignifeid.

    Hunt was notorious for his unconventional behaviour on and off the track. , Hunt became the epitome of unruly, playboy drivers and was celebrated for his English eccentricity (which included dining with his Alsatian, Oscar, at expensive Mayfair restaurants).

    He famously wore a badge on his racing overalls that read Sex - Breakfast of Champions.

    True but when he actually won the Championship

    He showed typical British modesty

    Button should have seen how Brawn conducted himself

    It was a comment not a moan

    I am delighted that he won and thought he thouroughly deseved it just cringed a bit at his post race behaviour thats all</p>

    Still it beats the usual being dignified in narrow defeat which is a more usual British behaviour

    True. Agree his singing was a bit OTT but nice to see someone obviously delighted with his own success and that of his team. I prefer that to the normal "British reserve".

    I think he's an average driver

    who has won the championship due to having by far the best car. Congratulations to him for winning but lets not pretend that he's a great driver because of it

    He had the same Car as Rubens

    And for the last few years has been the highest points scorer in the team he has driven for always beating the other driver

    Its arguable that he has had the best car over the season anyway - The Red Bull has been pretty competative but Vettell made too many mistakes.

    It is of course impossible to say who is the best driver due to the variation in equipment but I think he is a better than average driver.

    Well done Jensen

    ignore the negatives , good job you are world champ eh otherwise you would get the slating that darren moore got on her.
    Strange that he is now left alone after we win a few games , obviously he was to blame for all our early season defeats.
