He didn't crash in the race at Monaco 2002, but yeah, it did put him out of the race.
Interesting question though. Off the top of my head I can't remember. Just goes to show the calibre he has. |

The only times i recall Jenson Button crashing out during the race was in Imola 2000, Hungary 2001/2002 and Melbourne 2002...
The rest were engine failures, oil leaks (mostly with Benetton), oil pressure problems, hydraulics, etcetera... Last edited by ASCII Man; 21 Aug 2004 at 00:30. |

Monza 2000 was an oil pressure problem in the 16th lap.
Forgot Brazil 2003! Last edited by ASCII Man; 21 Aug 2004 at 00:32. |

Monza 2000 was where he smashed into the guardrail under the safety car and broke his suspension.
Remember, it was when Schuey slowed the pack heading towards the parabolica. |

It was Brazil 2003. In 2002 he had 3 crashes/spins, in 2001 2 and in 2000 1.

Brazil 2003 was wet, and he was in good company in going off in turn 3. Melbourne 2002 was the first corner pile-up which certainly wasn't his fault. He hasn't had any crashes you can blame him for for over 2 years, which is an amazing record. No doubt Frank's noticed this.

Yes he's a reliable driver that's for sure.Combine that with speed and you definitely know you wouldn't regret signing such a driver.
And no-i had NO clue when his last crash was.If it was the one in 2000 i'd be stunned |

Crashing in the race is fairly uncommon for all.

Its rare for an F1 driver to make a mistake that causes a crash, its nearly aways a mechanical failure that results in the crash.
Despite all the electronic gizmos, credit to the drivers for being so skilled! |

We could have this debate about any of the top drivers.
Crashes are very uncommon. |

I thought about Button because I honestly couldn't remember when he last crashed in a race. Even Michael Schumacher had one at Monaco this year! The only other driver I can think of who was as reliable as Button was Mika Hakkinen who's last race crash was at Monza in 1999 I believe. I guess that's one thing that people often don't mention about the 'good old days' - the leader was more likely to crash! |

If we're talking about driver error crashes then you're right, Mika hardly ever had them.
He did have a broken suspension which caused a shunt in Australia 2001, but it was very rare for him to bin it. Kimi Raikkonen similarly does not often crash. |

I think the theory is if Michael and Juan among others get caught out in thoose conditions then it wasn't a rookie error.

Yeah, I think he's okay though. Very scary stuff - it was just like Mansell at Australia in 1986 Damn, guess I jinxed him with this thread. |

Right, that's the end of this thread. Frankly I'm not impressed that anyone woudl drag it back up - it seems like gloating and flaming.
