lets hope he doesnt overcook things on the test, or his F1 could be in crumbs

FFS! 

Lets just hope he does not end up in the pan or could cause a right jam. The lengths people will go to, to earn a crust. Must be a marmite thing!

So it's no longer Brawn GP but Mercedes GP? I know they need th emoney but I'd have kept the name or atlaest changed it to Brawn Mercedes GP.

And so Button is moving to McLaren then, should be interesting to see him and Lewis togther.

it was only called brawn in the first place because they didnt know what to call it and noone wanted to sponsor the team! however brawn is better then mercedes! Suppose its mercedes wanted to get there moneys worth, bit of a gamble though as i see them being midtable next season.

I would love to see button at mclaren, its the sort of partner louis will thrive off, and i think button is starting to look in that direction also.

On further reading it is now officially the merc factory team with Ross as team principle and hanging onto a 25% stake with Nick Fry and a couple of others.

big question ? where will the Merc GP team be based ?  shame it if goes to sausage scoffer land 

[adamrob69]

i wonder how this will effect mclaren. Mercedes play quite a big part in that set-up, i wonder how they will cope without there knowledge.

Reading between the lines, its sounds as if button was used in the negotiations between the new deal with Mclaren and mercedes.

The team should remain based where they are, as they still are a british team. When they were Honda they were still there.

how good would it be if mclaren went back to the red and white livery
