I think Button can be WDC in the right car. He may not have the ultimate ability to push a good car finish far higher than it's supposed to (ie Senna, Schumacher), but Button has showed that he has an immense ability and not far off from the leading drivers of his generation (Kimi and Alonso).
I think this year and last had shown Button's ability to race sensibly and consistantly with his car. He has also shown a reasonable ability to race wheel to wheel with others, and overtake... although he still occasionally makes small errors under pressure. His pace generally is good too, so all in all, Button is very much near those top guys, and all he need is a slight car advantage over the others, and JB will get the job done.
