Jenson didn't make the decision. The pay rise was only a consideration for McLaren, making it less likely to decide to keep him. Probably what happened is that McLaren tried to convince him to accept less, and he refused saying he'd retire instead.

Good news anyway. I'm not sure if Will Stevens will be back, so at least there's now going to be two British drivers.

They've got Baku a week after Canada, so that's got to be quite tough on the logistics. If they move it a week later they then it's back to back with Austria which surely makes a lot more sense geographically.
Now I've looked to see where Azerbaijan actually is I take that back.
Same weekend as Le Mans...

That puts the brakes on Hulkenburg being able to defend his Le Mans win.

Wonder if Bernie is worried about the increasing popularity of the WEC.

£10.000, that's a proper bonus.
