Ron has seen the light and Jenson is to partner Alonso next season on a quarter of the Spaniards salary of £40 million ::) ::)
-
I could live with that salary! :y
Good news for JB if it's true though! ;D
-
Be interesting to see how JB measures up to Alonso,everyone thought Hamilton would JB at Mclaren but it didnt happen.

It's a funny old world. All the great jobs that we'd willingly 'work for free' pay multi-million pound salaries.
Yet all the shit jobs that no one wants to do are paying minimum wage....or in some cases even less.
What a crazy f***ked up world.

No one more surprsied than me.

I read that Alonso wanted him on board but don't know if Ron would have paid much heed to that.
-
Hopefully in a good car Jenson will be able to shine... he certainly puts the effort in :y
-
Delighted. A very talented driver and will get results. Worth the wait in the end. But I do wonder what the background shenanigans was all about?
Bbc reported this befor the Mclaren event, which was confident of them.

Personally I think JB is one of the best drivers in F1 and I prefer him to Hamilton but he seems to lack enthusiasm if he hasn't got a car that's capable.
-
A totally understandable reaction though...
-

That is one of my problems with Jenson. Alonso and Hamilton wring the last ounce out of whatever they are in. How did Vettel fare in a less than capable car with a capable team mate? It is a shame as he is British and he does show some class in wet weather. That is always a good indication of a potential.
Anyway we will see how he fares next year! With luck he will show Alonso a clean pair of heels all season and I will have humble pie on the menu March to October ;D ;D ;D
-
its good news or else we'd only have one brit in F1 (and he seems to be turning into a non Brit with his silly mid-Atlantic accent)

Yep.....He comes across as lazy and disinterested.

Could equally be that he is alot less arrogant than say Shumacher and the like :-\

Yes, possibly Al.....As F1 drivers go Button is probably one of the least arrogant.......and why are most of them so small?
-
I am a Button fan and am glad he's got a ride next season, but I do think he needs to wake up when on the track. He only seems to come alive when he gets challenged. Im also a Hamilton fan, but could do without his sulks when he doesn't get the times he wants in qualifying or if he doesn't finish better than 3rd..
Iv always said that Vettel can't drive, he only ever got the championships because he had the fastest car on the day not because he can drive well.... he reminds me of an early Schumacher with his arrogance, but I will say 1 thing that he has a bloody good sense of humour....
Im looking forward to the new season now that Button has a ride, I didnt really want to watch it next season if Button wasnt in it even of he falls asleep behind the wheel...

;D ;D ;D

Weight and car dimensions are only suited to dwarves. When SWMBO worked for Tom Walkinshaw we went to a 25th anniversary party with an Arrows car on display and an average sized lady got stuck in it. ;D

ANY one of us Omega drivers could have jumped in that Red Bull car and won 'four' World championships.. Not a fan of Vettel, but for his critics to claim he is useless when winning four world championships is ridiculous. If he can't drive, what does that say about all the drivers who finish behind him? Button being one of them 'MANY times'. I didnt really want to watch it next season if Button wasnt in it I can't imagine sitting through hours of F.1. to get a few 5 second glimpses of Button?? :o The situation was summed up perfectly by his old team. 'Jensen just is NOT fast enough'... :)

I've sat in a mclaren before. No problems. And I'm 6ft2 or there Bouts.
Women drivers would be an engineers dream. Small light and compact. Strong enough. Just not as reckless as men.

In fact just imagine the PR. Hanson male driver, attractive female driver, both in the same team, both fighting for the world championship.
The manufacturer would clean up the male and female car market. Sales through the roof. Mr and Mrs (enter car make here) living the f1 life.
A PR mans dream.....
..... However the reality is..... :-X ;D

They'd be fine M'lud. No 3 point turns or parallel parking in F1! :-X :D ;D
