madbrad wrote:Ross may prefer a better driver than Jenson. If they become the Mercedes team they should have a top top shelf ace superstar driver.we clearly thinking along the same lines... one wonders whether he would prefer jenson to (maybe) get a drive with mclaren and get the oppertunity to grab kimi later. my opinion he would have the best of both worlds....

And I say this being a Jenson Button fan..its about money this time round. there tho angles to take i guess. he took less bucks in order for the team to survive. I do feel however Ross now has to level with the guy and give him what he's worth. he's a champion now. surely he deserves to get a higher retainer ??

He was so lucky that Brawn gave him such a dominating car and now he wants to leave because he isn't getting paid enough? What a turd.

For all we know brawn really cant afford to pay him that kind of money at the moment...

Good point until the merc issue is sorted I would guess they're very limited in what they can do.

Now you mention that i can remember hearing Brawn were looking like they might be lacking backing next season.

McLaren wrote:Button has been loyal to them,the name of the team may of changed but he stuck with them through some tough times aswell.I say good luck to him.Button was being paid big $$$ for driving for Honda so it's less about loyalty than getting the best money he could at the time. It seems to me that he is chasing the money, not more race wins/titles as I think his best chance for more titles is to stay with Brawn as I doubt that he will get such a good chance at McLaren with LH on the team!
Kimi has done it! The youngest ever F1 champion. A[…]
