Interesting stat given
1) Alonso is fabled to be good in the wet and you've shown he's got more success by finishing
- Was 2011 Brit GP a wet race ? I did not see the race fully
2) Vettel is suppose to wet weather expert and is only 6th

Britian 2011 was partially wet, towards the start of the race.
Those are the Grand Prix listed in The Clip the Apex™ Overtaking Database™ as either "Wet" or "Varied" races.
Britain in 2011 was largely dry after an initial flurry, and Button retired from it due to pit-bungle, but there had to be a consistent set of rules rather than a gerrymandered Button victory.

Great stuff once again teabagyokel
It looks to me when it is wet Button either wins or he doesn't score at all

Yep. 2 of those DNF were his fault, 2 weren't.
To be fair to Vettel he did lose 2 wins in the wet due to poor reliability, Oz 2010 was dodgy brakes and South Korea was engine. But on the flipside they've all had bad luck somewhere...

He won 3 out of 9, that's quite good I'd say.

3 out of 9 for Alonso
the two races he did not finish - Spa 10 - crashed out in the wet Can 11 - taking out by Button
5 out of 9 for Button !
the other four races he did not score 1) Spa 10 - taken out by Vettel 2) Korea 10 - finished but no points - poor pace/ strategy 3) Silverstone 11 - bungled pit stop -retired 4) Malaysia 11 - finished but no points cos he crashed into a HRT

Il_leone, I noticed that Button had more wins than Alonso. I wasn't saying he was better than Button (and now I'm not saying he's worse than Button, I'm not commenting at all on their relative performance)
Winning three out of 9 races is not "having more succes by finishing", it's good. And apart from that he scored 2 more podiums and two 4th places. There's only one driver who won more wet races in those three years. There's no driver who got more podiums than he did. He scored more points than any other driver in the wet.
How can you say that's anything other than good? If that's not good, all the others except Button must be total rubbish, because they all did worse than Alonso (less wins, less podiums, less points, although Webber and Massa had more finishes, bu8t seeing where they finished you can hardly call them better).

The stat that surprises me is Vettel who's initially reputation was built on wet weather racing from his wins in Monza 08 and China 09
teabagyokel
Is it possible to compare this against 2007 - 2009 I am sure it paints a slightly different picture

Thank you
It does show Hamilton was supreme in the wet.. the one he messed up was CHina 07 which cost him the world title and SPa 08 he was demoted for an illegal pass
Massa not too shabby either considering he was considered useless after his 5 spins in SIlverstone
