Button has signed a new multi-year contract with Mclaren. Good news for both Button and Mclaren. However nothing is mentioned about Button seeing out his career at Mclaren so I suspect there are a few clauses in about the length of the contract for both Mclaren and Button.
woohoo take that ferrari and red bull, they wanted him for 2013 but cant have him now, jenson and lewis are a great line up, all they need is the fastest car now
Good news for McLaren. hey are the strongest driver line up on the grid. Hopefully McLaren can give them a car to attack Vettel's Red Bull from the start of next season.
so they've made official what EJ told us last race. A fairly easy choice to make for all parties involved.
A multi year deal means that McLaren have won and Button has failed to keep his options open for 2013. Its taken a while for Button to finally agree to a multi year deal so I wonder what is in his contract. A big pay rise definitely and maybe no.1 driver status to some extent?
Does anyone have a clue on how much Button got for it? A few weeks ago, I saw an article that he was offered £ 80 million for a 3-5 year contract. I think McLaren won BIG by sealing this deal no matter how much they payed. It will surely be a successful partnership and a well spent investment for them. Hope they get their car sorted so we can see them winning again. I miss their old colors though, the Marlboro Mclaren MP4-4 was a true beauty. please log in to view this image
Indeed, shame you have put up the less attractive MP4-6. Soz to be a pedant I always felt teams had traditional colours. McLaren were red and white, Lotus gold and black, Williams Blue, yellow and white. Is a shame its all decreed by sponsors. Most will probably feel silver is McLaren's traditional colour now they have been that way since 1997.
Good spot! Of course both of them were *** packets… Speaking of liveries; McLaren's original orange may eventually return - if and when tobacco sponsorship finally goes west…
All signs point to that being a reality. Have heard 2015 is when it is aimed for. Will doubtless be an engineering marvel!
Really? I posted the wrong car? To be honest cars have never been my strong suit really. I just googled but cant spot the difference between them But it is more so the logo and colours I like because that's how they looked when I started watching the sport in -88. And I like that picture with the sparks around it and the yellow helmet obviously
All is forgiven . It's just these amateur BBC style caption mistakes have to be pointed out Here is the MP4-4. Looked fast, was fast! please log in to view this image
