Button an F1 flop?

F1 racing flop Jenson Button is hotly tipped to finish the new season without winning a single race.

Button, 26, has yet to grab a Grand Prix victory and is 7/4 with bookies William Hill to finish the campaign empty-handed.

Button is fourth favorite to win the opening Grand Prix of the season in Bahrain this weekend behind Michael Schumacher at 4/1 and Kimi Raikkonen at 10/3.

World champion Fernando Alonso, favorite to win at 11/4, is convinced he has what it takes to successfully defend his crown.

"In 2006, I know we have a competitive car, so my only goal is to repeat the title," said Alonso. Daily Mirror
