Button linked with McLaren

[adaym]

you could hardly call it battle

well no because a battle is defined as a 'hostile meeting between opposing forces'. so well done on that account.

back in the real world, however, barrichello was the closest to challenging button and brawn didn't stop him from doing so otherwise he wouldn't of won as many races.

Button can drive a good car and win but not a bad car. Say for example McLaren start the year with a car that doesn't have the ability to wins races, button will flop. I feel as if Hamilton will always be the #1 at Mclaren as he has such a fantastic relationship with the team. I also feel that Hamilton is better than Button

Well I can't see Button wanting to part with Brawn after they have resurrected his career out of the blue, and they seem such a stronger team than McLaren at the moment. Also if he were to join McLaren, I don't see too much of a problem as this will only help Hamilton as Kovalinen has been a racer that has lacked support for Hamilton, thus letting rival teams such as Ferrari racers Massa and Raikonnen come close to winning the title in 2008 and Massa winning it in 2007.

Anyway, I thought Raikonnen was returning to McLaren?

No ******* **** Sherlock.

Why? I mean, why would he want to go to McLaren? I'm surprised Hamilton isn't even looking to leave.

[StefanWolves]

Hamilton will never leave McLaren, he's been there since he was like eight.

Why would he go to McLaren? massive fan base, huge history, second biggest car maker in F1, massive pay check, race with/against the best driver in F1 - and the guarantee of being in contention to retain his title next year.

Cause I GUARANTEE Brawn will not be up their next year, it'll be back to Ferrari/McLaren/Renault.

No brainer in my opinion.

Hamilton wouldn't allow it.

At the end of the day wherever Button goes he's got to be the teams number 1 driver, after all he's the world champion.

I don't think Lewis Hamilton would be too happy to be shoved into the second drivers seat when he's looking to regain his title.

McLaren have no option but to honour Hamilton's wishes.

lol what rubbish. Hamilton is a far superior driver, to put it into perspective, Hamilton's first win was his 6th Formula 1 race. Button's first win was his 113th Formula 1 race. You may well say that Hamilton had better cars but it's so obvious Hamilton is a miles better driver.

i wouldn't have said it if i was. i'd choose that any day of the week. currently on £3 million a year, mclaren would basically double this. looks like they'll have a much more competitive car next year, bigger budget.

2nd means nothing in Formula 1, it's 1st or nothing. You make millions in Formula 1 no matter who your with, most of it from sponsors, winning the championship is priceless.

Sort out the K.E.R.S system and they'll be pretty much unstoppable imo.

All teams agreed not to use KERS next season lBlue btw.

Good news I guess, kinda expected it Looking forward to this line up for next season, regardless of it being 100+ days.

Shows how much I take note of F1 apart from watching it.
