buttons in a good place, hes most likely to only be a number 2 in a team like mclaren or ferrari, thre are too many drivers better than him to be the number one
and he definitly isnt in the same league as vettel, alonso lewis
its either be the number one in a smaller lower paying and less likely to win team or be number 2 in a more reliable, better paying team
hes chosen option 2
Is he in a good place?
I don't think Button is in a good place with Nico coming to the team,no way in hell does it look like a good place. Nico is German,we know Mercedes is German,this is what they have been waiting for,they have never had a home driver winning the WDC in a Mercedes. I would say that Button knows very well how next season at brawn is going to pan out,Mercedes will have a championship winning car with a well know German driver who is very sellable in Germany and the world.
Button would have number one on his car but that would be in all but name. McLaren will be an all British team and Brawn will be an all German team,what a great set up for Mercedes and both teams,everyone comes out laughing.
I'm pretty sure Button's not laughing. I'm certainly not! 
I'm seriously irritated and highly agitated by all this. Very little or none of it is good news.
