    I'd be disappointed if he would.

    Perhaps if he does leave F1, he could combine it with a pretty successful Le Mans career...

    Following Clarkson, Hammond and May in a revamped Top Gear is a tough job, I think.

    Not sure Jenson Button can pull it off; you have to be funny and outrageous all the time.

    Jenson is a nice guy though, but with a very delicate sense of humour and no aggression.

    Perhaps he would be good as the new Stig that can actually give an evaluation of the car after the lap.

    Jenson is being paid to conduct himself in a certain way, he could be surprising.

    Go watch some early Clarkson material.

    Yea mate i am, i deleted my responce but it seems you captured it.
    Its just that Aircon has a reputation of winding people up, so may be when he is being genuine, One has to be on guard. Kind of the kid who crys wolf :)
    And thanks for the explanaion, seems so obvious now you pointed it out :)
    Sorry Igor Ound, i see what you were doing now, doh :)

    I hope not. I think he still have 2-3 years left in him.

    Why not. Sounds like fun and the cash would be sufficiently interesting. Wouldn't stop him from doing Le Mans series etc as the filming schedules could easily fit around it. Would be great to have a Top Gear article from inside a WEC race team too. Overall it sounds like a great idea!

    He's a Brit but not a twit. This would put the show on an entirely new course.

    And a lap or two with Jessica would be fine as well.
