Who'd have thought it would actually be three race winners who drove their last race in Abu Dhabi?

Wishful thinking. No chance it will be Button. The British media getting a little too excited.

But are you really going to believe a rag that can't tell the difference between Niki Lauda and Toto Wolff?

It's just wishful thinking. Though I'll admit I am thinking wishfully too.

Is that the same journo that was reporting that Lewis could/would/should be sacked after disobeying at Abu Dhabi?

Surely the British press wouldn't make up sensationalist headlines to sell papers, would they?

Hamilton never going to be sacked and Button never going to get the Mercedes drive. (Neither is Montoya, Ant Davidson, Alonso or Johnny Herbert)

I see where Jenson Button has become Dr. Jenson Button after being awarded an honorary degree in engineering from Bath University.

Well, except that honorary doctorates don't really confer the title "Dr" (no matter what Clarkson might think).

They do, just not the right to practise in the field.

It is regarded as, at best, very poor form to call yourself "Doctor" if your only doctorate is an honorary one. But I digress.

Did he get an honorary degree, or an honorary doctorate? A degree wouldn't make him Dr. Button, even if it wasn't honorary.

Ah thanks. 'Just' a degree then, no honorary doctoring for Mr Button.

Looks like a doctoral gown to me.

Amazing where these threads can lead, isn't it?

According to the local rag it was a doctorate that he was granted, and that he has changed his Twitter account to Dr J B.
