anyway i was reading he might be back for 2011 lol..
Mclaren for constructors next year NO DOUBT. btw button isn't that good of a driver if you ask me..
You know all the drivers in F1 are one the best drivers in the world, Button this season was the most consistent driver, won the most races in the end WON the championship how isn't he a good driver mate?Quote:

^^ The right car at the right time with the right team and people plays a huge part but its the driver who brings it home, the double diffuser situation in the beginning that the brawns, williams and Force India had wasnt the sole areo part that was giving them the edge over the others, because it all went to court and the FIA approved that it wasnt the sole part giving them an advantage so you can rule that out.
Kers was an issue for some, but all in all button was in the right seat at the right time and his skill is what made him a champion, if he wasn't A GOOD DRIVER someone else would have won.
Same with Shumacher when he was with bennetton, at that time ferrari and mclaren were struggling and it was Shucmachers skill that made him champion that year!
Being a F1 driver is more then about driving there is pressure and being able to deal with those pressures be internal or external, button coming from not even having a drive to come and win the championship is a feat more then most other drivers could achieve, so IMO even tho im not a Jenson button fan he did a great job.
Jenson is a gud driver no doubt but will mclaren really ever hav room for two title contenders with hamiltion? imo no the team is to focused on hamilton so i think it wasnt the best move for jenson but a brave one and he clearly likes a challenge and is willing to take a chance.
Micheal Shumacher went to ferrari when they were in bad shape and look at what he did im not sayin jenson is as gud a shumi but i agree with STAiN MASTER the team and ppl around a driver can be the diffrence btween 1st and 2nd
look, no doubt button is an elite driver to be in f1, but of the elite drivers i don't rate him that high.
Was he really consistent?
He won the first 6 of 7 i think, but after the field caught up he was just another driver, the main competition in the second half of the season were HAM, VET, WEB, BAR and that was about it, He really PWNT the beginning because of the fact that BRAWN were most prepared for the 2009 f1 season (seeing as honda started building their 2009 chassis pre 08.) and the rear double diffuser also played a big part of his early success.
After the field caught up to BRAWN (i.e. after 8th race, more so after mid season break) button was relatively inconsistent seeing as all of the names mentioned above placed higher than him, if it wasn't for his first 7 races button would have finished 8th behind rossberg, so how is that consistent?
I think it was a bad move Button moving to Maclaren, hes probably going to end up being second fiddle with Hamilton, just like how Barra was with schumi. Was also sad to see Toyota go, I think koboyashi had a lot of potential in him, I think both races he was in he was in the points and also bettering his team mate. Hopefully he gets a drive with another team.
just like barra was with button also
does anybody know if the former BMW team will enter next years F1 seeming as if Toyota pulled out???
JB moving to McLaren is probably the worst move in his career... if he isn't so money motivated he can probably do a ripper job with brawn next year as well... however he might have to yield to Hamilton because of the fact that every tom dick and harry views Hamilton as the more capable driver... his f**ked his career and name over a few more extra bucks in my opinion...
another question as well... is Ross Brawn still going to be in charge of Mercedes F1 because that team would be quite literally s**t without him???
