He didn't beat Button in the same car, he simply ended up with more points.
End of year points aren't everything. Button also beat Alonso in points last year. It means very little as a head-to-head comparison. What you've really got to look at is race pace, and in the few years they were together there weren't that many times Button was clearly quicker than Hamilton. Usually it was a case Hamilton having a bad race, not Button being faster. Plus Button isn't really in his prime anymore... 16 years in F1 now.
