Hmm, I just read my posts again and can't seem to find where I said that Button (or Hamilton or Hill for that matter) didn't deserve to be Formula 1 World Champions.
I always find it funny how the UK is full of twats that try and put words into your mouth.
The honours list these days is pretty much just a mention of popularity. 50 years ago the list was much shorter and contained mainly people who had done something noteworthy over a protracted period of time. These days those people are still on there but they also bung on a load of people who are famous and recently did something big because they need the PR.
When it comes to Ross Brawn, I see exactly what you're saying. He has done some fantastic things in motor sport. His success with Ferrari was one thing, but what he managed to achieve with Brawn last season was simply amazing and he seemed to do it all with such humility.
I guess that what he has achieved could easily be described as wonderful source of inspiration to others, which alone would justify the receiving of an Honour.
Dunno - maybe the 'official' criteria for receiving Honours need to be broadened a bit in order to move with the times, as sports and entertainment are now so prevalent in people's lives?
Oh dear, it now appears I have double standards. :worried:
