Will Jenson Button be World Champion? - World Racing Forum - Formula 1 news and forums

Given that the FIA have officially declared the double diffuser as legal, will Jenson Button wrap up the F1 Title by this summer?

With restricted testing, how much time will it take for others to respond with a new diffuser?

sure is looking like it!

Hey Fidel, looks like you're not only talking to yourself, but answering as well

.
Its starting to look like a Brawn runaway, shades of Brawn during his Ferrari days with Schumacher. Unless the wheels fall off during the summer, looks like Button will be all but impossible to catch.
Nice to see a changing of the guard away from the usual suspects in F1.

i think that it is still too early to speculate, however he is one of the drivers that are worthy of being a world champion.
If you look at his career it started out very well, then it dipped eversince , and i beleive now is his real chance and he ought to capitalize.

I am not very much sure about that. He always try to learn a lesson from his errors and gives answer to his critics in style. But it's still too early to manipulate such big thing for him.

At the moment it is sure looking like so but I expect his challenge to be stopped and it is going to get much harder for Button from now on. Too hard to call at the moment.

Im just not sure if the other teams will be able to catch up. However, it was fun at first to see Jenson dominate but its getting to a point where my interest in watching has taken a hit

Ye of little faith (or however that saying goes)

We're not even halfway into the season, even if Jenson keeps winning, you never know from one race to the other who will finish on the podium behind him, or who might in fact beat him, as the competition is snapping at his heels, just one brain fart on his own and he could easily find himself off the podium.
With Red Bull and Toyota all but a mistake away from winning a race, Vettel having already won once, there's also the Ferrari and McLaren sagas, I'm sure they'll manage to sneak a podium here and there before the last race of 2009 (however I'd be surprised if either team manages a win), there's also the BMW meltdown and the Renault enigma.
Nope, so far it hasn't been boring this season, with promises of much more to come

After 8 races, it looks like there is no driver this season who can give any sort of resistance to Button for this years championship.
'Button has completely dominated the first half of season and will surely be the champ.
