Re: Does Button MAXIMIZING the potential of the Mclaren?

It depends on how you look at the question. If it's about whether Button makes the McLaren go as fast as it is capable of then I would say that's unlikely because IMO Button has never been a driver who drives the wheels off a car (so to speak). However if it's about whether Button is maximising the...
