This year may be not so bad for Button after all.
As far as it goes it looks like Fisichella is having a go with him, but those Benettons are so out of order and at the beginning of their developmentcycle that you could be forgiven calling them experimental. Both cars aren't racing, they are testing. Including on raceweekends, collecting data where ever they can. And we all know testtimes don't say anything.
Needless to say the Benettons arent very quick. But Button is certainly not forgotten. Everybody seems to be acknowledging that Button is learning like a maniac at this time. Technically and mentally he will be a better driver at the end of this season. And he stepped in a very good driver.
Obviously, Ferrari sees serious potential in this kid, as do many more.
For the moment Ferrari is simple browsing in the drivershop. Pulling one driver out if a rack, after the other. Button is one of them on the ground mentioned above. Will he be in the seat? I don't know. But for now there are more drivers in F1 who definatly won't be in that seat then drivers who really have a fair shot.
