Why is that relevant here? It's because he is not a driver that can adapt to any car and any conditions and just find a way to be fast...
If the car is balanced and neutral, and the tire temperature is optimal, he will drive well... If the car is not so balanced, he is not good at communicating to the engineers to get it there, and he cannot cope with it and gets bad results... If the tires are not at their optimum temp, he cannot overcome that and gets lost mid pack and just blames the tires....
That's why he is a good driver, but not a worthy champion

Well, Rubens was chasing and Button was trying to protect his championship position by not making mistakes or taking risks. Conservative? Yes... Unworthy?, no.
As for drivers who have trouble when the car isn't perfect.... well... I can think of only maybe two guys in recent times who could win with the undriveable car. Schumacher (M) and Alonso. Everyone else bitches and moans anytime the car isn't up to scratch - it's normal, they suffer from a condition known as "I am a racing driver".
