Jenson Button has beef with McLaren over the picture below that they put out on The Internets yesterday after reaching 500 F1 podiums*, which depicts the drivers that got them a total of 448 of those podiums.

Button is noticeably absent along with his 26 McLaren podiums, which account for almost* half of the absent podiums. Bunch of one-and-done drivers in there, the only other multi-podium drivers not on the picture being Peter Revson, Jochen Mass (8 each), and Stefan Johansson (5).

Recent** single-podium drivers Daniel Ricciardo, Kevin Magnussen, and Pedro de la Rosa are included, though.

*501 exactly for coming second and third in the race, but only if you include a customer McLaren entered by Penske for Mark Donohue in the 1971 Canadian GP that was driven to a third place and is technically not a podium credited to the team? I actually mulled over this for two hours now (because I am insane), and I have now put out a critical question to the poor social media sod via Instagram that will surely never get answered.

**If you want to count 2006 (de la Rosa) as "recent".
