Re: Buttons greatest weakness is......
Button is brain, Lewis is heart. As someone mentioned above, thats pretty much the difference. Both rule their respective drivers, quite literally, to a fault. I'm not a Ham fan.... At all.

This might just be his last shot to win in his f1 career. By doing so, he would upset Ham and But if they arent already scrapping it out. And if vettel challenges his third place, then he may try to help Alo.
