I agree he had more of the bad luck, much like Rubens when Michael was destroying everyone.Quote:

Sam Michael happy to bring on new talent
Button would not have been a good investment

Talking driver investment
GP2 Champion Nico Rosberg joins the Williams Cosworth team next season, lining up alongside Mark Webber. According to the team’s Technical Director Sam Michael, this is a sensible lineup for the squad.
Williams found themselves in a contract dispute with Jenson Button in the summer which was finally resolved when the British driver bought his way out of the deal and then re-signed a long-term deal with BAR Honda.
According to the News of the World Button will earn in the region of £68 million over the next four years at the team and that kind of salary is just too high for a driver like Button Michael claims.
"If you look at the top drivers, £17m is the kind of salary they are demanding," the News of the World reports Michael as saying. "If you had access to those drivers and had a stable car development programme you would definitely consider spending that on a driver. But for that kind of grade one driver we are only talking three options — McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen, Renault's Alonso and Ferrari's Schumacher and they are probably not available for the next two or three years."
Running Rosberg next season Michael admits the team are taking a gamble, but with his GP2 experience this year, the German is familiar with many of the race circuits.
