Jenson Button & 2009

Williams are on the ropes and in a bad way financially.
STR is up for sale, I believe. DM not wanting to fund STR after 2009 season due to ban on customer chassis.
Force India = can't see them sticking around for more than a few more years. Big piles of money going foof in the night will catch someone's attention at some point in time.

 

I love this . . . Captures the very essence of Jens.

Always tries to put style over substance. Notice how he always has the 2 day growth of beard. Even Don Johnson gave that up with Miami Vice. Try a goatee, it is more modern.

 

Good points, but Toyota pulls in more money than Fiat, BMW and Mercedes. Honda is right behind Toyota, I think. Also, Toyota has committed until 2012, at least. I would worry about Renault and Williams in particular before any large manufacturer. About STR, they actually made a profit this year, which is something Williams hasn't been able to say in a while, I don't think. I've read that Matsehitz is reconsidering selling STR, but we'll see about that.

In either case, has anyone seen pics of the cars with next year's regulations in effect? Sorry to say, but they look ridiculous. They look like something is seriously missing, lol.

 

It's so true. He came out and gave up on on 2008 BEFORE it even started.
He outright said we don't have good car. It gives him an excuse to putter around in the back. That is why Rubens is outperforming him, Jens threw in the towel before the season started, because for some reason, Honda keeps giving him a seat. It is also telling, how Ross Brawn was publicly stating how he wanted Alonso to come to Honda, and that he was the best driver on the grid, and he could really take Honda to the next level with his development skills.
