Button to stay with McLaren
« on: 11 December 2014, 06:04:13 »

Ron has seen the light and Jenson is to partner Alonso next season on a quarter of the Spaniards salary of £40 million ::) ::)

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.

I read that Alonso wanted him on board but don't know if Ron would have paid much heed to that.

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.

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)

Yes, possibly Al.....As F1 drivers go Button is probably one of the least arrogant.......and why are most of them so small?
