Jenson Button

Jenson Button might be world champion but he's still overrated.

Jenson Button might be world champion but prior to this season he'd won exactly one of 170 races (the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix) and it was reminiscent of Jochen Mass's in that just about all the top runners had crashed out and he was literally the last man standing when the race ended.

He was with top teams — Williams, Benetton, Renault — and yet when the chips were down he couldn't come through. He won six races this season, primarily because of a car that had an advantage at the start of the year. When the other teams caught up, the jig was up for Jenson but he was so far ahead at that point that nobody else could catch him.

He's a competitive guy and a good driver but — like most of the Toronto Maple Leafs who are NHL-calibre players except they can't score goals — he's not a winner.
