Jenson Button has hinted that he would like to drive for Ferrari: While I love the all British Mclaren team with Hamilton and Button, I also would be very excited if Button went to Ferrari with Alonso which I think would be a very successful partnership. Button has said he is not worried about being Alonso's team mate: Could Jenson Button replace Massa? It would probably be at the end of the 2012 season. If Button did go who would replace Button at Mclaren? Rosberg? Di resta?
Cant't see this happening if im perfectly honest. Did he not just sign a longer contract with McLaren or was close to it. Really think Ferrari have the hots for someone like Vettel or Kubica (if he recovers sufficiently) to fill the seat alongside Fernando
Maybe he said that because he is happy there, but also he did not think he had any other options as good as Mclaren.
Is Ferrari as good an option as McLaren for Button? Do you know what, though? I've become so sceptical of everything I read in the press these days that unless I see the question being asked and answered on video I don't really know what to believe. I'm not sure I believe Button was asked about driving with Alonso. His answer could equally apply to how he feels about the challenge of driving with Hamilton. If the Guardian report is accurate, Button had better hope animal Briatore doesn't get there first. Not sure how I'd feel about Button using McLaren as a stepping stone to Ferrari or, if there's another reason for him wanting this, what's going on in 'Hamilton's team'. To address your other point about who might replace Button at McLaren - has to be Rosberg, doesn't it?
Button would be perfect for Ferrari Alonso will love him as he is a mature 'gentle driver' and not a scary rookie Button would also be able to claim that he is progressing his career, and not running from the horrible hiding he will receive at Mclaren in the next few years
Do you think Hamilton's going to improve enough to give Button a "horrible hiding" over the next few years?
Doesn't need to improve If mclaren give Lewis a car he doesn't have to gamble with, a car close to the Red Bull, we will see 4-1 in the first 5 races, after 18? Then he can only hope for a kova type hiding At least at Ferrari he can claim it's his boyhood dream to be there getting whipped or maybe not by Fernando I reckon he can do better against Fernando
Despite the fact most people consider Button a much better driver in more well balanced and generally better cars
I wouldn't mind seeing Jenson in a Ferrari, but I don't see it happening simply because he's already happy at McLaren and they are likely to sign another contract soon. I think he'd struggle with Alonso as his teammate. Alonso has similar tactical intelligence and tyre management, but is better at aggressive driving, overtaking and qualifying. At least at McLaren, there are certain skills in which Jenson is easily the better driver. That wouldn't be the same at Ferrari.
As far as Button vs Alonso is concerned. It would at least give us a chance to see if and by how much Hamilton has improved since 2007.
It's 4-1 after 5 Say 16-4 after 20 Would you call that a horrible hiding for an ex WC? Try find a previous Wc who was beaten by that ratio Only vacuous WUMS declare their use of FACTS to influence a supposition
So you are predicting the entire season on the first five races, I bet you did not do that last season.
In qualifying Senna massacred Prost even worse than Hamilton-Button. Sometimes a gap like this can show the quality of the former rather than the latter.
