Button is an exciting driver you just never see this on TV when he's not driving at the front end of the grid and as Honda have had three off the pace seasons even thought his first race win came in 06. But i have no insider information but with Alonso out of the way and other drivers seemingly unavailable, Button could jump at the chance to make the move to McLaren whom have been more consistant than Honda
yes but this year Lewis Hamilton stole the headlines in every race just like Button did when started out
Have you got a source for this information? If Button is gagging to come to McLaren it will be very tough because Ron Dennis has been rather critical of him in the past. In my view he's a solid driver whose style guarantees the car will finish the race, however, he's nothing exciting.
Button lets it out to the media if 08's Honda isnt a front line challenger then he could quit the team after the season. But this could also be seen as him telling McLaren to come get him right now. They have the spare seat and Button is willing to pay his way out of a contract like he did with getting himself out of Williams. So could this be the beginning of an all British driver line-up within McLaren for 2008??
nah, last season was a mile better, admittedly the car was much higher performing but still, you can't call this season a good one for him.

Still, Button's got 6 points in 2007 while Rubens got big ZERO... and Rubens is not that bad... so Button did decent job considering.

I don't think this premise is quite right - Jenson's not targeting a particular team for '08, he's simply giving notice that if he thinks Honda won't give him a car capable of fighting for a championship by the time his career finishes he'll look elsewhere. There's no reason for him to narrow his options to one team - BMW Sauber and Renault could each be in a position to challenge in '09 or '10, and there's also a slim chance Ferrari might come calling, so it's not just McLaren he'd look at, although I'm sure he wouldn't turn them down.
Personally I think he's up there with Hamilton, Raikkonen, Alonso and Rosberg as one of F1's hottest properties, and from the age of 22 onwards he's never been bettered by a team-mate, even though Villeneuve and Barrichello are certainly no mugs.
