i reckon pizzonia has a chance of the other williams drive
....leaving coulthard in a bit of a lurch
i read he would rather sit the year out than take on a testing gig??!?!? (crazy IMHO), how can you expect to be on song after sitting out a yr - look at villenueve :D
anyway, all fun and games in interlagos this weekend, if it rains expect 'car'-nage (sorry, couldn't help myself)
see if rubens can break the jinx on his home track
lucky for button his not going to willam, his just not up at the same level as MW ! lets all wonder whos going be pairing MW next year..... i want MH !!!
I don't think everyone should talk up Mark Webber just yet..
Now i'm a huge fan of his, but lets be realistic.
Everytime he has got in the points or near pole its because of some misshap and he got lucky.
Don't get me wrong now, I think he is a great driver but if Juan and Ralf can't get the FW24 to go any good, what are the chances Webber is going to get it in 1st? (It'll be the FW25 next year ;))
I just think people are getting there hopes up abit to much, alot of F1 experts have said the same thing, give him a year at Williams and hope the team picks up and they can get a competitive car for 05-06 against Ferrari, McLaren, BAR, Renault and Sauber.
I said Sauber becuase Jacques will be winning everything LOL now thats high hopes.
i think mark webber needs a bit of maturity, a few times this year he's been quick but something goes wrong and he's sort of called it a day......don't get me wrong, he's quick when he's on it.
I hope DC gets the Williams drive, give him a final shot with a good team.
As for BAR and JB, well, i think it was a bad idea to fight for him, now they've got someone who doesn't really want to be there, bad for the morale of the team....i'm sure he'll still try his best to win but will the whole team be 100% behind him when he wanted to leave them? i don't think so.....
anyway, it'd be a surprise to me if ferrari and schumacher didn't dominate again next year.....
Button has good reason to fight for next year, with each championship point he receives £3 million for
it so I know I’d fight for some points. Also, he would have to put on a good show next year so when he goes to Williams.
If David goes to Williams I think it’ll be good for Webber, David it a great driver with a lot of knowledge.
go BAR! I reckon they shoulda let button go, he isn't loyal to our team and Sato is the bomb! Although the personal relationship between JB and BAR will not be as before, JB is competitive and will want to win no matter which car he is driving. Therefore I think BAR can have a good crack in 2k5. Can't wait till Im at Albert Park in March. Woooo
I dont really like DC. I dont really see DC taking up a mentor role for webber either. I wonder if the big domino effect rumour that F1live floated will happen at all?? (the one where Williams buy fischella , and renault stick with jacques, etc.. )
Renault will stick with Fisichella and Alonso for a while i reckon.
Fabio likes his Italian drivers, much like Jackie likes his English speaking drivers!
Either way, Fisichella should be finishing in the top 6 and qualifying in the top 4 in a Renault.
Where are you getting that from?Quote:

Quoted straight from his contract into Australian Motorsport Magazine.Quote:

He is a greedy man in my opinion.
Also, I wouldn't post something if i wasn't sure on it ;)
But it is a great incentive you have to admit.

Also, Jenson Buttons contract states that he receives about $50 thousand (not 3 million) for each championship point. This wasnt an issue in 2003 because he only scored 17 points last year, but currently he is on 127 points after suzuka, so his contract says that he should get over 6 million dollars in bonuses. BAR have not paid him this yet, so he is pretty pissed off.
eheh sorry jason! :thumbsup:
