Since I'm brazilian I don't care reaaly about an all Brit team... actually the best driver to ever sit on a car of that team was a brazilian lol
I'd really prefer Kimi over Jenson, but if Whitmarsh and Ron chose him, they'll have my full support...
and if the rumours about Kimi on Mercedes be confirmed, I'll support him too since I alwaysa liked him when he was at McLaren (i did not like him wearing red)

Go McLaren! Go Lewis! Go Jenson!

Did you say your Brazilian, or you have a Brazilian?

So who gets the 1st drivers position then, you know the car with the red bit on top

Jenson as he is world champion no matter what team he is in he gets the number 1.

Can't see Lewis accepting being relegated to second jockey to Jetson

He hasn't got a choice, Team leader status is based on previous year World Championship standings unless the team applies to have it specifically changed, and they can't ever take the Team leader role from the sitting Champion because he must always drive Number 1.

exactly

[Jensonb]

I've had another thought on Jenson's move...People keep talking about him leaving Brawn, but that's not what this is. It's Jenson choosing the independent McLaren over the Works Mercedes team. A works team like Honda.

Once bitten, twice shy?

[al4x]

its the money

[texasmr2]

its the money

[Frosty]

its the money

both sides are saying that McLarens deal wasn't anymore money.

[Jensonb]

its the money

Unlikely considering £6 million is below the figure he was asking of Mercedes.

[texasmr2]

So what is JB's yearly salary?

But more than he was ever going to get.

[al4x]

but its considerably more than brawn, besides, mclaren is likely to have the better car, for one year, then i thnink merc may overtake

Ah ok, I still think he should have stayed where he was but oh well atleast he is once again employed by a great team.
