And I bet there is a clause suggesting support companies are not supposed to declare themselves, or show weakness. ;) Don't want the Italians realising who they can nobble to give them a fair advantage.

Could be. Though Button's seat is doubtful after this year, me thinks.

As long as he gives a decent effort and the car is upto it, I can't see it being hugely in trouble unless someone great gets offloaded last minute at the end of the year

Martin Whitmarsh will not be attending the Jerez test next week with McLaren and that Sam Michael will be the senior team manager overseeing the schedule in Spain

Never liked [color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:15px;]Whitmarsh, he always seemed like a bit of a fanny.[/color]

Ron says he won't go back to the pit wall. Really hope that doesn't mean the drip that is Sam Michael will be keeping the seat warm for Brawn to join up later in the year.

You just know it.

 

Brawn back with Button.

 

Seems that all the teams are the same, they just change the name above the door and their location every so oftern.

Brawn back with Button.

Only for a few months. Unless Button wins the championship or at least looks like a consistent contender, he's not much longer for the McLaren seat. Especially in light of Ron retaking control and setting his sights on winning again, instead of just being nice in the pit lane and media. JB best years are well behind him and there's more attractive (and cheaper) younger options out there.
