Button and Raikkonen

[DCM]

Button has signed for McLaren, Raikkonen is off to the WRC if he can find someone to take him.

[jhammond]

DCM, do you know what figure Button settled for? I know he was asking for 8Million, but a three-year, 6Million a year contract was on the table?

Julius.

This is true...but.....how many world champs in the past had the best car??? The car being better makes the driver seem better than the rest!!!
I agree, very glad to see Button win the 09 season

I must admit I am stoked to see two brits not only win two consecutive champs, but to be on the same team! Unfortunately though, the "better driver" argument will never be sorted in F1. The cars play such a varying factor. I would like to see the entire grid from F1 race something like stock hatch, or mr2 champs, as only with a true level playing field would you see the best driver shine. That said thought this season has produced some awesome races and very close driving. Looking forward to next year!
