thats a good point about Sato, best case scenario is with BAR as a second driver to Rubens.
I wonder how Rubens will find this change in position, going from second position(Jesus) behind Michael(God)?

i say giv sato one more season to prove himself...
if he doesnt post some decent results during 06... drop him no questions asked...
Hmmm he hasnt been able to produce the goods yet, your way if definitly the fairest, but is F1 going to be that fair on him lol?
anyone can confirm that button has gone to williams in 06?
nothing on f1.com or BAR or williams sites
how can anyone confirm when button himself is in limbo...
poor bastard... back of his head i think he knows he'll be goin to williams cosworth...
sato is good... rotten luck + dumb mistakes is going to cost him his seat
although being japanese is in his favour, honda would most definately prefer race wins/point results over potential advertising $$$ imo...
barrichello will be consistant and will score points for the team in 06 (providing the car isnt a lemon)

Even Rubens repp is still intact, even after kissing Shumis ass for 6 years.
Im finding there has been much more publicity since his move to BMW Williams, just of recent theres a vibe of doubt with his preformances this year is my opinion.
nothings been confirmed yet as far as i knowQuote:

(GMM) BAR presented a list of potential 2006 drivers to Jenson Button, the Brackley based formula one team has revealed.
Even though the English star is likely to be forced to honour his earlier commitment to Williams next year, BAR wanted the 25-year-old to have a say on who might have been his new teammate next year.
''Rubens (Barrichello) got his full approval,'' the Honda co-owned team's 'CEO' Nick Fry told Autosport. ''As far as Rubens was concerned, Jenson was very positive.''
With the Button-Barrichello 'dream team' spelled out, then, the future is looking bleak for BAR's current Japanese star Takuma Sato, who has enjoyed Honda support.
With Button almost certainly to depart, a key racing seat - with Williams' Nick Heidfeld reportedly top of the list - is therefore available. Fry, though, confirmed he has also spoken to 'a number of (other) drivers' about the probable vacancy.

I read in Motorsport news Weekly that BAR-Honda has "given up" so to say and Button will be honoring his Williams contract for 2006.
Webber's reputation hasn't gone down the drain, Renault want him, BMW-Williams want him. Two strong teams that have a future in F1.
I'm still going with Heldfeld & Barrichello for 06 in a BAR-Honda!
If Heidfeld goes to BAR, then who will drive the Williams?
Time is running out for these shenanigans. How are BAR going to get Button? It's nearly impossible now. They'll have to make Williams an offer they can't refuse and now an engine deal is out of the questions, 'cos Williams have teamed up with Cosworth.
As far as Williams being sold in the next 5 years, I can certainly see that happening. Frank is getting on a bit and I'm sure there are some other things he'd like to do.
Fisi and Webber swap?! I'll believe it when I see it. They'd both be nuts. Who knows how well Williams will bounce back next year with a new engine? And the engine is the best part of the Renault (understeery little b!atch), but there will be a completely new engine next season, so who knows? If I were either of them, I'd stay put until 2007.
Massa to Ferrari... there's no better measure for how good a driver is than putting them up against the master. We'll see how good Massa really is next year. I don't think he has the raw pace, but he seems pretty consistent and has a good temperament, so maybe he's championship material.
