So which F1 team to support next season?
Not a chance on Mercedes
Lotus lot will be a fad, despite Mike Gascoyne
? Not even if Button goes there
I suppose Williams would be the best bet

But i like the idea of Lotus. They will be the underdog to start with a least and that gets my backing. A strong english team!
Ive always liked Button and if McLaren the get hold of both lewis and Jensen there will have a great english rivalry.
For some reason ive failed to get excited about Williams since Damon Hill. Not a big fan of Frank.
Their cash is.....

The four new teams are probably all going to be a second off the pace of Force India and Torro Rosso at the back, and be unreliable as well, especially as they've been forced into using the untested Cosworth engine rather than buying engines off the established manufacturers. It could be a return to the days of Forti - as Damon Hill said, they're called "Forti" because that's how many times you overtake them.
I just hope they sort out letting Sauber race, as all things considered they're much more deserving of a place on the f1 grid than any of the new teams.

So definitely Button to McLaren then.
Kimi Raikkonen will be absent from the Formula One grid next season, his manager Steve Robertson announced to the Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat late on Tuesday.
The Finn, having agreed to make way for Fernando Alonso at Ferrari, had been in serious talks with McLaren, but the parties reportedly disagreed about his salary, sponsor duties and his freedom to race in rallies.
"The only option for F1 next season was McLaren or nothing," Robertson said. "Kimi and McLaren were unable to reach an agreement, so he will not drive at F1 level, at least not next year
