Who gives a poop about the relationships of Button and Hamilton? are you guys serious? Blaming Hamilton's performance on his relationship is the most hilarious thing I've heard in the world of racing.
As I got a working penis I definitely care about Button's relationship. Have you seen the girl?
But apart from overt sexism, it should be obvious even to you that in a business where fractions of a second can make or break a race being mental fitness and being focused are as important as the setup of the car and the race strategy. So yes, blaming Hamilton's performance, or lack thereof (and before you go on another rant about fanboyism, remember that I dislike Hamilton almost as much as VET and eyebrow man), not only on his girlfriend, but on his bling entourage that's more interested in getting their faces into the celeb magazines than in racing makes lots of sense to me.
Whatever job you do; be it world class racing driver, IT technician, pilot or bin man, you'll do it better if you are in a positive frame of mind. However, if you've got problems, issues or distractions then it will always be there in the back of your mind, no matter how hard you try to focus. This was certainly the problem for Lewis last year and it seems (despite what he says) that he still isn't happy, and having his celebritard friends, high profile girlfriend and the various paparazi etc that comes with that kind of lifestyle can't help. Jenson on the other hand has a supportive father, and seemingly pretty down-to-earth (and stunning) girlfriend, a best mate as personal trainer/assistant-type-bloke and others around him. He can relax and have fun off-track, therefore allowing him to concentrate fully on-track.
Just compare 2007/8 Lewis Hamilton with 2011/12 Lewis Hamilton.
