Gascoyne: Button lacks champion's spark'

Honda’s Jenson Button lacks the “spark” that marks out potential world champions, according to Spyker technical boss Mike Gascoyne.

Button has won just one race in seven seasons of Formula One – last year’s rain-hit Hungarian GP – but has often been likened in ability to double world champion Fernando Alonso and Ferrari new boy and multiple race-winner Kimi Raikkonen.
