Well only time will tell with Fernando because I thought today would have been ideal to remove any concerns about it to be teaming up with Jenson and announce it by Mclaren officially

Sounds like he will be staying even after 2016.

Buttons contract required activating a right-of-renewal hence the attention they received from the media, Alonso has a firm contract for three years so what is there to announce. Alonso has already stated he may wish to continue beyond his three year contract if his time with the team is successful. I would suggest if McLaren become competitive during 2016 and Alonso and Button start winning in 2017 they'll both want a new contract. I know this is all a couple of seasons away and dependant on the team becoming competitive but it will be far more relevant than what has been happening during the last week. For the next two seasons Alonso won't be going anywhere.

It really shows you that you really should believe nothing in the news papers about driver contracts. The telegraph getting this 100% wrong.

You simply can't know who is driving until a driver or team confirm it themselves.

I tend to never believe anything until it appears on the Autosport or Official F1 site. Both never seem to go online with a story until they're absolutely sure the news is factual. Autosport has always had quality journalists.

I think we should only believe it if the team officially announce the team driver line up regardless if they have committed contracts because we've seen drivers in the past leaving their contract early or being told by the team we've got another driver


If anyone knows the Daily Telegraph or Guardian journalist please give them a humble pie or an egg from me for what they have been saying about Button

I just don't understand why he's still wants to sit in the Earth Car II when there's the 24 Hours of Le Mans to win!

IF Mclaren Honda really works then it will be winning combination which he believes is worth waiting for

Its a bit of prestige for him to win in a Mclaren Honda

It'd be the one thing Senna did which his Hamiltonness wouldn't be able to emulate, at least...

Didn't watch it. Was he trying to propel an MP4-30 more than 240cm in perfect working order.

Or was he challenged to write everything wrong with the MP4-30 using less than 240cm of paper?

Didn't hear him complain about the lack of grip at all.

How many drivers have beaten 3 World Champions over a season? Quite the achievement.

Well, Prost did a few, of course. (Lauda, Keke, Senna, Mansell and Hill).

Trulli beat both of them anyway!
