Jenson Button

Arguably the best ever driver in mixed conditions, all his wins at Mclaren have come in those conditions. His last race win in the dry came at the 2009 Turkish GP.

Button is known for his smooth driving style and is normally seen in must races doing one less stop than his rivals for tyres.

Buttons also know to be a bit of a practical joker and will take part in anything fun.

Since his debut in 2000 Button has won the majority of hearts in this country. But what is your favourite JB win?

Mine has to be Hungaroring 2006, in argubly a midfield team and he won the race in those mixed conditions to take his first win. I can remember James Allen been in tears almost and that was the first race Anthony Davidson ever commentated on.

If he did that he would be breaking his contract, it isn't like back in Lauda's day when you could quit at any time with no consequences...

 

[Incubus]

Plus, didn't Brabham produce a WDC-contending car the season after Lauda left?...

 

[Mephistopheles]

If and when Jenson decides to call it a day then I will wish him farewell but until then it has got fuck all to do with anyone on here it is his decision to make.

 

[Titch]

Are you having a bad day Mephistopheles ? You seem extremely grumpy, about everything?

 

[Il_leone]

Button walking away would not be an issue with Ron Dennis because he has got replacements.

It is only when another team wants to poach Jenson then there would be a small compensation

 

[RasputinLives]

Lets face it if Vandoorne continues the way he has in GP2 then Mclaren are going to have to drop Button or Alonso for next year anyway or they'll risk him being taken away by someone else.

 

[Titch]

I like JB, but at his age, I can't see him being poached by another team.

 

[teabagyokel]

WEC awaits.

 

[RasputinLives]

I like JB, but at his age, I can't see him being poached by another team.

I meant they would have to take on Vandoorne or risk Vandoorne being poached by another team.

I think I phrased it badly originally.

 

[gethinceri]

Well they won't ditch the team leader so Alonso will be out on his ear.

 

[Mephistopheles]

People have been saying Jenson should retire for as long as I can remember Flavio said it in 2002

 

[Hamberg]

He's proper old now though

 

[Mephistopheles]

Yeah he's a right old git now just like Kimi and Alonso but he is fitter than the pair of them put together..

 

[Hamberg]

He's older than Alonso and a championship down. Why do you think he's fitter?

 

[cider_and_toast]

I think it's his dreamy eyes

 

[Mephistopheles]

Because he does triathlons for a past time...

 

[Hamberg]

Oh okay and the rest do SFA to stay fit. Cool.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Are you trying to poke me you naughty minx..

 

[Hamberg]

Not at all, you do that all by yourself

 

[Il_leone]

Button has not done a bad job...we ll he can;t do any worse at Mclaren right now

I think seeing Vandoorne perform as he does in GP2 might make Alonso nervous if he was promoted considering it will de ja vu as it was with Hamilton back in 2006 when he kept winning GP2 races when the Grand PRix was on

I think Mclaren will loan out Vandoorne first to another team but i can only see that team being Force India to learn the ropes

The whole Mclaren plan is to deliver a 3rd drivers title for Alonso ...Button could retire but I think K Mag would get the nod then as the 2nd driver not Vandoorne
