That would be f'd up if they drop Button. IMO, JB let a lot of good years go by driving for that shit of a team. Honda F1 is the biggest joke on the grid. Poor JB's been getting screwed since moving over for JPM at Williams/BMW.

Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems is the big one. Wider cars and wider wheels.

JB should come out on top.

The team should continue to build around him and not Rubinho. Rubinho is on his last legs and won't be there for 2009 no matter what changes.

I agree that RB is in the late twilight of his career. That's what makes JB's relative performance pretty poor. I think it's time for fresh blood. Honda should chase FA and partner him with a quick GP2 graduate.

With slicks and less aero bits. It's good for Honda. The new regulations should level the field and give them a chance to catch up.
