hes really better of at williams where it is more likely for him to atleast finish races ... one ponit i forgot is that next year all cars will have v8 engines and if you look back before v10 engines were introduced (late 80s) the cosworth v8 engines is what put williams above the rest so williams might have an advantage because most other teams have little to no eperience with v8 engines:
Toyota have no experience (not good for nk if he drives for Midland f1) same for BMW and Honda while McLaren and Ferrari do have experience. So next year expect to see the Minardis in a better position with Williams and Ferrari at the top. I expect Renault and McLaren to tae atleast 1/2 the season to catch up.

If Button manages to get off his Williams contract and resogns fr BAR, Davidson will begoing to Midland Toyota (who offered him a contract) leaving a Williams seatopen and the favourite for that seat is David Coulthard .. which will make Luizzi Kliens partner leaving the seat at BMW open (which i think DeLaRosa will occupy)
So a lot of seats could be swapped depending on the Button saga

Button is dumb period .. he has no clue about any of the contracts he signed .. If you remember this time last year he was cussing the whole of BAR for not letting him go (when he had signed a contract with them) now hes doing the exact same thing against Williams. ... i think the FIA need to step in and suspend him for the year and maybe even fine him because there is no reason why a driver should not respect the contract he has signed.

Sato has been given 6 races to prove he deserves a seat at BAR for 06. On hearing this Davidson agreed to test for Midland who have now publically annouced their interest. TM will need to work hard to retain his Midland seat.

Williams confirmed that Jörg Zander will be the company's Chief Designer replacing Gavin Fisher from september. Zander joins Williams from BAR, where he held the post of Chief Engineer, Mechanics and Transmission.
Thats great for Williams because he was behind the good results in 04. This also sends a message: 'no matter how BAR try they will lose their man to Williams'.

Red Bull have signed Speed as 3rd driver for 2006. This means that it is very likely for Luizzi to move to another team next year, unless they chose to get rid of Klien. Well with BMWs interest in Luizzi; it is likely that he will end up there for 2006.
