++ Rosberg is definitely "hungrier" than Button! What about the next rookie Senna? Would love to see a Senna in a MP4/ car again

^^ Anyone driving the Williams would be desperate. Rosberg has never impressed me much, maybe he'll do better in a faster, reliable car.

Say what you guys will JB has a smooth driving style and has delivered in a half-competitive car in seasons past. If you look at his driving record when the car has been half decent he has been competitive. IMO he'd probably fit in at the lower end of the top rung drivers (lower end only because he does not have the ability to extract performance when conditions are not in his favor), but it is impressive that even during the later half of this season he kept his cool and always finished in the points no matter how low he started. That to me is the mark of a consistent driver

LOL! I don't think Nakajima would be desperate to get into a better car. He hasn't even scored a single point and the only non rookie driver not to do so. I think he's going to be kicked out next season when Williams will have a different engine supplier.

Back to topic.
Button would be silly to move to McLaren, he will get his ass whooped by Hamilton and a lot of people would love to see that.

^i'd nearly bet my salary that Kaz Nakajima will not be with Williams next year. 0 points!

i don't think Button should move to McLaren, and i don't think he will. I'm still like Kimi to McLaren, Rosberg to Brawn.

Williams will hire any driver that comes with proper backing. Heck! They'll even get Sakon Yamamoto in a car if he shows them the money. For Williams at this point its all about the $$$

Hamilton will try to kick Button's ass and in trying will drive himself into the wall

That said with you that Button is better off staying with Brawn. Any other team and he may lose momentum.

Rosberg to exit Williams. Now word yet on where he'll go.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport...one/8331563.stm
Nico Rosberg has revealed that he is leaving Williams at the end of the season, with the German driver expected to race for Brawn GP in 2010.

The 24-year-old would not comment when asked to confirm that he had done a deal with Brawn's engine supplier Mercedes, which had secured him a seat.

"It is my last race for Williams so it's a bit strange," he said, ahead of Sunday's final 2009 race in Abu Dhabi.

Rosberg is likely to swap places with Brawn's veteran Rubens Barrichello.

+ Brawn won't pay him the ridiculous salary he is used to.


I hope not a smart move for Button IMO. But I'd like to see RB remain at Brawn.
