Over Jenson Button

Last 20 stories on FoxSportsNet Formula 1 page or MSNBC's are all on BAR Honda and Williams BMW dispute over Button. I think the story is that BUtton and Williams found a loop hole in the Honda contract that if Honda does not sign Button by August 5th 2004 then any team could have access to him and sign him. But Honda insists that Button is binded by their contract until 2007. So now 2 teams have binding contracts to Jenson Button, oh what has the world come to. Come back for Mika Hakkinen anyone??

If there's anyone to roll your eyes at, it's the two knuckleheads who have been behind the beemers. Montoya has added up to zero, except way too much drama on the track. And the lesser Schumacher will always be in his brother's shadow, and is perpetually slow.

So if Williams has an option for their good old friend Button, who actually brings the car home, and quickly, I don't blame them for going after him. He's probably making BAR look better than they really are. Personally I'm cheering for him to be traded, as BAR is still a dead end, as much as I'd like to believe otherwise.

I hate David Richards for what he did to Jacques. One good stab in the back deserves another.

Good on Jenson. Now we have two "super teams" next year. McLaren are probably the considerably better one with two amazing drivers in Juan and Kimi and Williams are going to be right there with Webber and Jense.

Looking forward to Ferrari losing (hopefully).

Montoya is actually a good driver it's Williams engineers that let the team down. The car looks bad ass but its reliability and performance is terrible. Put Montoya in the Ferrari and he would be amazing. Even though it won't happen anytime soon I think that to be the case IMHO. This coming from a die hard Ferrari fan.
