Nico was also bad in wheel to wheel dogfights, which is why he was always getting smoked by lewis, or causing dumb contact (spa, spain) or outright getting penalized for bad moves (Austria, Germany 2016). Jenson wouldn't bungle that hard.Įither way sure jenson may never outqualy lewis over a season, but of the 2 he's the only teammate to have outraced lewis- which nico was incapable of. You cant use Nicos 1 qually battle win and ignore him getting smoked in 15, 16. Then in 16, even though he got 7 free shots at uncontested poles, he still lost the pole battle to lewis. This is why 15 looked so bad for him, because nico tried to go back to balanced setups and got smoked harder. And even then lewis was always regarded as the faster driver. We know from the team that nico was selling out his race setup to try to get pole positions in 14, which was compounded by lewis typically going in the other direction. He would have never out-qualified Hamilton, which Rosberg has been the only person in F1 who has achieved that. He managed to beat lewis on points without needing lewis to have 7 weekends ruined by engine failures/issues. That's relevant.īut I don’t think he was any more effective than Rosberg. Jenson was a better points scorer in a crowded field than nico - and a much better driver on sunday. And he came back and fought at the highest level. Nico didīuttons only wdc didnt come off the back of getting 8/9 free wins worth of points due to main rival reliability. Nico did it 8 times in 14-16.īutton never got passed or held up when driving a car 1-3 seconds faster than anything else in the field. Nico did 2016.īutton didnt crack under pressure, blow wins (3 times) or run into people when the wdc was on the line (5 incidents). heaps more wet pace, and normally challenged and fought lewis on track on race day, unlike nico where from 2014-16 he never over toke lewis once.Įdit:Button reached greater heights against far more competition than nico, even if in at the end of the season button was last of the WDC's.īutton could look like the best against the best, nico couldnt.īutton could fight and overtake lewis on similar strat/tyres - nico couldnt and often failed even when he had tyre advantage in age, softer rubber or both.īutton had goat tier wet pace, racecraft - nico didntīutton had fewer embarrassing races-2- (10-12) than nico-10- (14-16)īutton didnt need massive amounts of reliability to beat lewis 2011.
