Alonso is the most complete driver in F1, says Button

The Hindu  

Fernando Alonso has signed a new contract at McLaren and Jenson Button believes he is the most complete driver on the Formula One grid. Button, who spent a pair of seasons as the Spaniard's team-mate, thinks the two-time world champion has everything you could desire in a driver. Asked if Alonso's ability warranted more than the back-to-back titles he claimed in 2005 and 2006, Button, speaking at an event to promote his new book, told Omnisport : "I mean, who deserves what? "He's a world championship driver and he's probably the most complete driver on the grid, I would say."
