BMW Williams F1 announced today that the team has signed its
current #2 driver, Jenson Button, to a multi-year contract.

With the team also owning the rights to Colombian CART star
Juan Pablo Montoya, speculation has been rife that Button's
future with the team is in danger.

However, team principal Frank Williams decided to follow the
same strategy he has successfully used in the past, and secure
the rights to the young Briton, regardless of who actually
occupies the driver's seat in the second Williams next year.

"If Montoya was to drive for us next season, we would ensure
Jenson is loaned to another team to honour our multi-year
agreement with him," said the Williams spokesperson. "It could
be for one or two years and then he could come back to us --
and that is an option available to [us]."

So, in the end, Button knows he has an F1 ride, but just doesn't knwo where.

Bah, well, will he stay at Williams or what??

If Sir Frank gets really pi$$ed at him, and Alesi retires as expected, he goes to Prost. And when he's said sorry, he gets the Williams drive back - after Montoya has won the WDC ...

Scenes we'd like to see.

Is this just the latest chapter in long running saga of Williams poor management of drivers??
Breathe in the wrong place and, as if by magic, you're doomed.

Get more PR than Sir Frank's cars, and you are toast. Methinks button is beginning to tarnish ...

Alesi retire??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! F1 will be denied the spectacle of it's best current driver doing his stuff.

(Which currently involves an awful lot of blowing-up.)

Like today. Go out on a wet track, put the hammer down and destroy the car. Then wave to the fans on the way back on the marshall's bike.

Jean, WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING??????

Coulthards Ghost spooked em again.....

Actually are you sure it was Ross Brawn doing his thing agian......
-Gees, what is his problem? If Rubens does no good it is Brawns fault. If TGF does no good it is Brawns fault. If Alesi crashes it is Brawns fault...
No, Bernie is not the Boss, all hail king Ross!!

That would explain the current facial hair crisis on the alien's face then.
