Perez said after the race that his actions during it were wrong

To be serious for a second Button was a little out of order with some of the things he said but it wasn't that bad. It was heat of the moment talk which probably went to far, he's not alone there either

I'm sure they've all kissed and made up now and thats that. If it became a regular thing then maybe it becomes more of a bad thing but as far as I can remember Button is normally pretty restrained.

Agreed, N606.

JB was out of line with his comments but people seem to want to think that he's the only driver in the history of motorsport to ever make these comments.

In Malaysia last year, Vettel collided with Narain Karthikeyan and then shouted something terrible down his radio about how much of an idiot he was.

In Hungary that same year, Vettel was stuck behind Button after a phase of pit stops and, instead of trying to race him, demanded that his engineers do something about it.

In Monaco 2011, Lewis Hamilton was called before the stewards following a collision. He branded them as a joke and even accused the FIA of racism.

Even further back than that, a cameraman accidentally caught Juan Pablo Montoya on the head while he was walking through a paddock. It took 3 people to stop Montoya from smashing that cameraman's face in.

In Spa 1998, Michael Schumacher and David Coulthard collided on track and were both knocked out of the race. Schumacher then decided upon returning to his Ferrari garage to rip off his helmet, march down to the McLaren garage and try to pick a fight with Coulthard.

Why is Jenson the only driver fans ever want to single out and ridicule for random knee-jerk reactions to a tough race?

And VIK,

Won a Grand Prix in an uncompetitive car (Hungary 2006),
Won a World Championship (2009)
Taken on two World Champion team-mates and beaten them (Lewis Hamilton and Jacques Villeneuve),
In one race, gained 20 places in around 12 laps,
Is one of the few drivers on the current grid who can say, hand-on-heart, they got into F1 on pure merit.

Why does he not deserve a team leader status?

--------------------------------

....also said Button drove dangerously too, driving him off the track and was wrong too

when vettel was in the torro rosso webber said he drives "like a kid". he also described Hamilton's driving as "5h1t" in a post race interview. not teams mates, but still way way more disrespectful than button's comments.

This article's over the top. I took exception to a few things JB said but he's no cry baby.

Tall and Useless, good points, the joke Hamilton told at Monaco was in poor taste but he was roundly villigied for that by all and sundry.

Of the current grid, I would say Vettel gets away with absolute murder, whilst Hamilton receives the most abuse
