Perez in a Mclaren will be intresting as he is a good young driver and it will give Jenson the chance to show us what he can do now Lewis isnt in the team

I feel Perez could easily win some races but the same problems that's occurring now will occur again next year unless McLaren change whatever it is they are doing so differently than the other teams. I wonder if the focus does move over to Button though, Wouldn't surprise me to see him second best to Perez. If Hamilton's car was more consistent there would be no doubt he'd be a multiple world champion now. Once he's out front there's no catching him, except for another breakdown or complete fail of a pitstop.
It's a shame and we all probably know what he's feeling from this and last season, think it was last year he finished out of the points twice due to retirement but was still in title contention, had he simply picked up points in both of those races he'd be world champion. It's annoying to look back on. Something has to give at McLaren, someone has to start the ball rolling with this consistency issue rather than sit back and say we'll do better next week, only to fail to bring two cars home yet again.
With Button I feel the only time he wins it's because the car is near perfect for the race, slight niggle and he's back down the field, with Lewis he can wrestle a crap McLaren to a podium. Interestingly people keep pointing to the regulation changes in 2009 as McLaren's issue here, something they are still to come to grips with.
