"an str source" said that button wouldnt need an "audition". i wonder who was this,maybe a mechanic , but i doubt it would be anyone in authority. anyway, i seem to remember button saying, during the year, that "honda had to improve" hinting that he might not stay there. obviously 8m a year for three years convinced him to stay. and he is going to walk away with 15m to do nothing!!. he should retire and enjoy his windfall. does anybody else think that his 8m per year to run at the back, was a bit over the top i am sure that there are many drivers ahead of him that are driving for a fraction of that amount.
