Seriously ?
Edit; just read it on the BBC website. Looks like Button is out of a job then.

Read this too.....announcement being made at 0500 hrs tomrw.

All seems a bit sudden doesnt it?

Not a big fan of Button, but hope he gets somewhere else to show his 'talent'!!!

I reckon they should go back to being an engine supplier,tie up with williams (my favourite F1team) and relive the glorious Williams/Honda days. 8-)

We should replace the cars with Omegas with F1 engines.  They couldnt handle any worse than the last 2 years cars

If the OOF decide to buy this racing outfit I can raise........er.........£10 to contribute to the fund..........and drive the F1 cars for free!! 8-) 8-)

I would imagine the £1 part of it is just the headline writers getting carried away,the grid slots alone are worth millions.  :-/

Bernie Ecclestone must be having a few sleepless nights as his cash cow is looking distinctly sick.

Seriously, I think that F1 is about to face a mega-crisis. There simply isn't the sponsorship money floating around to fund the teams. Remember that financial sector companies have been big players in the sport over the last few seasons. Add to that, the R&D involved in the new season changes e.g. the new energy-reclaiming braking system (can't remember the name of it, right now) and the reversion to slick tyres. Also, the talk of one manufacturer supplying all the teams with same engines in subsequent seasons. Yeah, right.  

I foresee a partial (or even total) collapse of the sport, but later an emergence of a top racing series based on cheaper, less regulated semi-privateer outfits....and a sport minus Ecclestone and Mosley

Could be just what F1 needs in the long run.    

[hans solo]

totaly agree with nickbat, the whole f1 set up needs a good shake up. it has got rather silly of recent.

[albitz]

Good point,the best thing that could happen from a genuine enthusiasts point of view would be if the sport reverted to teams of enthusiasts like Frank Williams,Ken Tyrell etc; - with sport rather than big business being the primary concern.

I thought Button looked quite promising in his early days,but when they spend a few seasons in a no hope team its very hard to come back from.

button  good driver in early days.too much cash too soon.make the point system for all finishers and pay on a scale,may then see racing not follow the leader.
