Lol, Frank Williams sold the contract of Button for 22 000 000$ CAN. Frank who told earlier that Button was not to sale, I think he was forgetting the smell of money... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Button will stay for Honda in 2006.

Barrichello used to do quite well when he was driving for Stewart (given the quality of the car). But driving a BAR after having driven those nice Ferraris will surely require some adaptation and, probably, some humility. If he still has the will to fight (big unknown), I think he could do well. Definitely better than Sato in any case!

Hello
I had a felling everything has a price and when you put in the equation that Button did not want to go to Williams then your best bet is to sell the contract.
IMHO Button is a better driver then Barricello not a lot better but better.

If bar gets a good car and the biggining of the season then I forsee them in the top 4 at least.

Hello
Well thinking of the names you have there.
I would put them
Kimi (I think that there is a couple of drivers better)
Montoya (He makes team mistakes but the man can drive.)
Alonso (Will beat you with Paigents)
Button ( Well I am not sure is I would put him up on this list)
Good driver but there are so many better.

hey hitman(anybody), if you was the boss of one of the top teams, and was looking to build some foundations for future domination, which two or three drivers would you choose...?

Tuff ?

I do not want him to drive well maybe the first year.
I want him to Lead and Teach :D

Seems to me that well in F1 anyway if you are not winning with in 2 seasons your finances trop off rapidly. Unless you are already very well off you do not want to start out loseing races.

Take Redbull for example they atrated out looking real good and now they are not winning they are changing drivers trying to get on the podium. I just see this as if they don't the funds for next season will be very hard to come buy.

Hi Guys,

Well in some ways I agree that Button is a better driver BUT, let's not forget when FERRARI had it ALL together BARRICHELLO was just as good and as fast as anyone on the grid. I am sure he would have won alot more during that time if it wasn't for team orders and politics.

I think BAR will have a very strong team IF they (BAR) get it right, right from the start. V8 next year so we will see.
