It’s been said the driver policy at McLaren is simple: find the two best drivers available and hire them. Once again they have hired a pair of champion drivers, something which is not that common in F1. The surprise 2010 pairing of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button is the latest in a series that includes the [...]
Who would have thought it was going to happen? Jenson Button, one of our most celebrated British GoKarting champions, effectively leaves Brawn and without ceremony, voluntarily hands his hard fought F1 crown over to someone else. Why say that? Well he can not win the 2010 championship in a McLaren Formula 1 car as that prize would have [...]
Yesterday was a huge day as far as formula one news goes, Kimi Raikkonen decided to take an year off from formula one, he is supposed to return in 2011, apparently he will be spending 2009 as a rally driver. It was becoming increasingly apparent that Kimi would be asked to leave as Alonso was slated to join the Ferrari F1 team for the 1st time. Luca di Montezemolo was very happy with his boys and...

Michael Schumacher has been sounded out about a sensational return to Formula One next season, the Daily Telegraph reports. The 40 year-old seven-time world champion was due to make a comeback for Ferrari as a substitute for the injured Felipe Massa last season before a neck injury forced him to stand down. But following last week’s Mercedes takeover of Brawn GP and world champion Jenson Button’s...
It’s all beginning to happen. The final 2010 driver line up will be very interesting and probably the biggest change for many a year. Jenson is off to Mclaren and that will be a challenge for him and I have to say a mistake as he risks being put in the shade by Lewis. Nico Rosberg is rumoured to be replacing Jenson at Brawn and with Nico being much more aggressive and in a great car it will confirm...
"I feel that I need a new challenge." Jenson Button tells Simon Mayo what motivated his move to McLaren and talks about an extraordinary year in which he won the F1 world championship and helped his Brawn GP team to the constructors' championship.
Firstly I must congratulate Jenson on winning the World Championship in 2009. His decision to stay with Honda, latterly renamed Brawn was well justified on balance. However, one has to ask where else could he have gone. His CV wasn't exactly illuminating and the results simply weren't there. However, I was somewhat surprised to hear Jenson is moving to Mclaren for 2010 as he will surely be tested there...
