It seems quite clear that he will be somewhere else next year, I reckon Renault will be his best bet, apparently Flavio already he wants him.

Yeah he said publicly he will treat him like a champion and not a give him the same treatment as a rooky like this year (harsh words I thought).

J Button - 0 World championships (just give him a fast car)

I don't think it's that harsh, as much as I think he's been a total fool over the Ferrari thing I think most people would be unhappy with the way it's gone for him in Mclaren this year. I mean, ok Hamilton is good/better at the present moment BUT he walked into Mclaren as the world champion and he's not really been treated as such. I can understand him being a little bitter!

I dunno if you go back to begining of season he got the prefered treatment, it was only when Hamilton was finishing better and leading it that they started to prefer him. Lets be honest though its made for a better season none of that Ferrari let Schumacher win, no-one can challenge him.

McLaren's shown that giving each driver equal opportunities (suposedly) that they have a 1-2 with great competition.

One thing to note McLaren told Hamilton to slow down earlier in the season not Alonso.

If Alonso does leave I'd love see Button there (I know he's at Honda next year but things can change).

Hmm yeah but didn't Hamilton get the hump with it and stop following that sort of instruction? :wink:

I would like it if he went back to Renault, be interesting to see the competition between him & Hamilton when they're not on the same team, it's bad enough now!

Yeah he didnt but thats what I mean, they were favoring him but Hamilton was a faster and better driver on most circuits this year. renault would be great button at McLaren even better lol cant se it though.

button at mclaren even better lol cant se it tho.

It'd be nice to see him perform in a better car for sure, I feel sorry for the man he has terrible luck with reliability. Ever time the camera cuts to him stopped on a verge somewhere my heart sinks for him!
