Refreshingly, Button was talking candidly, rather than the usual "PR Speak" so often trotted out nowadays. But inevitably the 'sour-grapes' brigade have got to snipe and sneer.
Well done Button - it's really good to have another British World Champion.

Button: McLaren 'will be tough to beat' in 2010.
1 agrees.
I wish Crash would get their facts right - Clark and Hill teamed up in 1967, not '68. They started '68 together (Clark winning at Kyalami, but the partnership ended in April at Hockenheim. One thought on the whole saga - the deal with Brawn would only have been for one year? The McLaren deal is three years - just a bit more stability there then for Button.

McLaren confirms F1 driver line-up for 2010
Just to correct a fact in the report. Lotus signed Graham Hill to drive in 1967 - it was he who carried out all the testing work for the iconic '49 prior to the debut at Zandvoort. Jimmy Clark was, by then a tax exile and was living in Jabby Crombac's apartment in Paris. His first experience of the 49 was in first practice at the Dutch GP - and we all know how that race ended. The partnership was cruelly ended in April '68 at Hockenheim. Jackie Oliver took over for the remainder of that year.

Mercedes to take over Brawn GP
Here's a thought - not so much to do with this story - what if Honda, when they were made aware of the '09 design (as they must have been prior to the pull-out) were so fundamentally against the diffuser concept, and being a company with integrity, decided they did not want to be associated with all the up-coming controversy. They've actually gained good opinions in the manner of their withdrawal, and suffered none of the negatives that were being slung at Brawn at the start of the year. Now I'm not saying it was the only, or even the prime reason to pull out, but I wonder if it might have been that "last straw". But I could also be talking total rubbish.

Brawn making Button feel unwanted, claims manager
1 agrees.
@openpipes, and to no-one in particular Looking at results misses out one thing - the quality (or lack of) of the equipment at hand. It would be so very interesting if drivers could swap around their cars as a comparison - I suspect that if this had happened a couple of seasons back, some pretty stellar names would have looked very ordinary in the Honda of that time - basically, if you're in a dog, then you won't be at the sharp end unless those in front fall over. And Honda produced some real "canine" cars until '09.

Brawn making Button feel unwanted, claims manager
Dear dear dear, so much ire being spouted. Whatever the superiority of the car, and the supposed "benefactor" of the rules, he won 6 out of the first 7 races. That's a fact. And the recent admission from Brawn (the man) that they had ceased development of the car this year maybe a little too early due to complacency (with hindsight), then possibly the results from the latter part of the season might be viewed in a different light. But of course those of you ill-diposed toward Button know better don't you. What are you going to do/say if he repeats the feat next year?

Brawn refuses to budge on Button pay demands
5 agree.
@ manbearpig (??) Damon Hill was "let go" at the end of '96 by Williams - that decision was taken at the end of the '95 season - one that they admitted later was, in hindsight, premature and ill-advised. As for the various comments here about Button's ability - a lot of short memories (remember a couple of years back when he was the best performer after Ferrari) the Honda was a total dog in '07 & '08 - hardly the best way to show your skills...

Hamilton: McLaren 'on the edge' after 'rollercoaster' '09
6 agree.
2 disagree.
Gave up reading the posts after page 2 - so much spite coming out - if you don't agree with someone, then you don't agree - No need to insult (that just shows YOUR mentality). It's another reason I love it when a British driver wins the WDC - there are so many hate posters come out from under their sad stones!! I don't mind which of them win next year as long as it's either Hamilton or Button - just keep 'em coming!

Ecclestone tells Silverstone: Sign now or lose British GP!
1 agrees.
Much as I dislike Silverstone, having attended every British GP there and at Brands Hatch between '66 and '99, I would rather see a race there, than have no British GP at all. But didn't the FIA come out last year/this year and state that certain "heritage" races would be safe? If that's so, then Ecclestone can posture all he wants, but will have to agree. Or maybe that's been quietly forgotten about.

Bridgestone to quit F1
Make it a commercial operation - charge the teams a price to enable the supplier to make a profit.
