    Maybe, although i think Jenson might have gone for that one.

    Definitely think Williams as well and only Renault makes sense.

    Unless Alonso quits McLaren for another team, I really don't see Jenson Buttom returning to McLaren. He could go to Williams next year to keep Stroll in touch if Massa retires.

    I wonder if Ferrari would have considered Jenson as a Kimi replacement…

    Since the Ferrari was nothing special performance wise last season,… would Jenson have turned down Ferrari?

    Not sure…. Maybe??

    Ferrari? i dont think they would fire Kimi to hire Jenson ,probably not so much difference in their abilities/experience.But hey you never know. F1 is a weird world of it's own.

    It seems like Jenson is happy with his life outside of F1, I don't think that he will return. Have you seen his girlfriend?

    Don't think he'd have turned down Ferrari. I remember reading an interview a while ago (before his retirement) about how pleased he was having won a title, having driven for Williams and Mclaren, and said the only team he wished he could've driven for was Ferrari.

    He's also had quite a few Ferrari's himself and his old man had a 550 as a daily until he passed away.

    Your memory is very good.

    Jenson Button 'would have loved' to drive for Ferrari

    I'm spoiled living in Hawaii as we have lots of Eurasian women like Jessica. JB and Jess were a nice couple to see around town.

    Jenson and Jessica had been together, and seen together around the F1 paddock for 6 years, whilst he has been with his latest love interest (Brittny Ward BTW! ;) ) for just about a year, and in that time, they were hardly ever seen in the F1 paddock, so it's hardly surprising you forget who she is.

    Had Jessica Michibata not have been with Jenson for those 6 years, would you have remembered (or even have known) who she was?

    Out of the two women involved, My personal opinion is that Jenson has traded downwards. Jessica was was prettier and far more attractive to me than Brittny (even the spelling of her name puts me off her! -It's a bit too trashy, pole dancing, strip-club dancer for My liking).

    TBH, I'm not convinced that this relationship will last, but then I'm an old romantic, and I'm hoping Jenson and Jessica will get back together and give it another go!
