Until he's signed on the dotted line somewhere and all the lose ends tied up, I don't really think there's really much anybody can say.
Sarge was referring to people within the sport no being able to say much because nothing has been signed, whereas Max thought he was referring to the number of posts on the subject (761 at the time).
According to Autosport (don't know if it's an old story), Mclaren are set to match Mercedes' bid for Hamilton, which I believe is £20m a year? How does that compare to Button, and will that be that?
We are getting well into the afternoon now, and still nothing. As Tom said, Mclaren are even matching proposed Mercedes' contract (that's even if they did). They are the better team, so it will be surprising if Ham does move. Schumacher might want to try one last time to right the mess of this season. And Massa has being doing a pleasing/credible job so far, so it won't be stupid to say it may stay the same.
