So who is A and who is B? And did he get £18mm?
Hopefully they work well together. Anthony won't like it much I bet - that team is built around his Son at the moment.. how that changes will be interesting to see

Should we assume that Jensen will not be as quick as Lewis?

If this is the case it will devalue his world title somewhat.
I'll make a prediction here... Although Nils Bohr said that "...making predictions was very difficult, especially about the future..."

Hamilton will generally be quicker than Button in qualifying, all things being equal.

In the race it might well be a different matter. With refuelling banned Button's smoothness and mechanical sympathy might se him gain the upper hand. Hamilton does tend to extract the maximum from the car but next season that might lead to tyre issues later in the race for him...

It'll be interesting to see if it plays out that way.

Also interesting will be to see if McLaren can produce a car that is competitive from the beginning of the season -there is limited testing - so have they sorted out their issues from the wind-tunnel, comuter simulations etc.

Having thought about this all evening, i know my head hurts anyway I'm thinking this could be a very shrewd move by mclaren, just look at the facts: Hamilton, mad f**er gun ho, will go all out to win, V Button: drives for points has ability's in the correct car and we all know what points make

Ah that's better. I got spurious 'error' display when I tried to post.

An interesting combination. In equally-fettled cars presumably.

I guess they are equal footing? Or is Hamilton #1? Button will have #1 on his car

They are both capable of gung ho, overtaking, in fact I think Button more.

By virtue of his greater control, smoothness, I would pick Button.

Being good in practice will be important mostly.

Which on recent performance is Hamilton.

Although in the better car, with KERS.
