[QUOTE=spider;3670113]My opinion, for what it's worth:
Jenson thought he was going to be kept on - and waited to the last minute to get the renewal. Meaning he never looked at other options seriously - I think we can guess they were Williams and Renault.
I can't believe JB really thought Ron would keep him on – if an F1 drive really was his first priority then he'd surely have signed with Williams, who are likely to be at least as competitive as Macca next year.
Deep down, though, I think he knew the time had come to bow out; but the deal he's done keeps the door open whilst presenting alternative opportunities. He may well have been thinking more long-term, and it could prove to be a shrewd move.
