well just as i thought, williams took the 25 million from BAR. So Button will be staying with BAR next year..

is he worth that much ?? surely there are better drivers out there than button

BAR paid nowhere colse to that amount (they arnt that desperate for him to stay)... Button paid a huge majority of that money

Sato is trying to grab one of sit from Midland in 2006 season ... He already showing disinterest of signing Reserve or Test driver contract with BAR.

DC has distanced himself from claims that he might return to Williams now that they have an empty seat with no big name interested. Pizzonia is the hot favourite to get this seat. Nico Rosberg (son of the great Keke Rosberg) also has a shot at the seat. With Petrobras investing a load of money into Williams i doubt that Nico will get the seat over the Brazialian.

Toyotas team principle has blasted Michilin for the tyres issued to Ralf who eneded up in the points. Michilin who will pull out of F1 at the end the 07 season is now having problems with the team its closest to.... its sad to see Michilin leave like this

dont know about the Dubai team, but there are strong rumours that Honda is gonaa have a second team like redbull with sato as one of their drivers.

Oh and Honda has bought all the shares from BAR

vkd_1717 · Post by **vkd_1717** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 6:16 pm

Honda is not buying the second team they are trying to supply the 11th team with engines.

Honda is trying to become partners with an unnamed japanese company. So Sato and Davidson might drive for the 11th team
