Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
l am glad Button has been retained as if he had left F1 it would have been very disappointing to lose such a fine driver.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
Let's hope that's the case. German Auto Motor und Sport are reporting that KMag has the drive http://m.auto-motor-und-sport.de/for...n-8924351.html and the Danish press have been invited to today's event, so until I hear it officially I'm not going to fully believe it, but it does seem hopeful.
Alonso v. Button has potential to be awesome, especially for those of us who feel disappointed at the way Alonos v. Raikkonen turned out this year.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
I was listening to 5Live this morning that made it sound like a done deal for Button.
Then listening to Radio 2 and heard that the Danish media were saying that Magnussen had it!
I really want to see a Button vs Alonso fight next year, but we shall see.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
I am pleased, however if I was Button would I want to drive for McLaren now? The way they have dragged their feet over this and kept him guessing is just not good enough from one of the top 4 teams.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
Alonso surely pulled his weight in this. I'd bet a bit that he had no intention of driving with young kev and avoiding another situation in which he was being bested by a youngster.

If the Danish are saying Magnussen has the nod and the BBC are saying Button has the drive then we really haven't a clue anymore.

Confirmed Jenson Button for 2015, Magnussen to remain as a test driver for the team.

Saw it confirmed on twitter.
Feel for Magnussen but that's F1 for you.
Glad it is finally resolved and hope for a cracking 2015 season and hopefully a McLaren fighting for the WDC and CC.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
KMag stays as test and reserve driver.
I should imagine Alonso would have wanted a clear 1st driver/2nd driver relationship, so I don't think this is his idea, but I'm sure Honda would want Button who's probably going to be the only driver on the grid next year who'll have a Japanese fan base. It's a good move for McLaren - they've got proven point scorers for next season. I think this'll be Button's last year and 2016 will see a year-old Honda with Alonso the main driver, Magnussen in the supporting role and a final tip at the driver's title for the Spaniard.
Exciting.
Massa this week has said he thinks Williams have got enough to allow him a shot at the title next year as well.

MarkC1984 will be pleased to learn that Lewis Hamilton is Sports Personality of the year!
No Ryan Giggs this time around!

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
Blow. No I am not happy, was wanting McIlroy to win instead. Don't like either of them but McIlroy was the lesser of the 2 evils. So a tax dodging arrogant person wins Personality of the Year? Idiots, the whole lot of you who voted for him to win.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
Have you any proof that Lewis Hamilton was a tax dodger Mark?.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
He's a British citizen who moved to Monaco/Switzerland. Ergo, he doesn't pay full tax to the Government. Ergo, he is a tax dodger.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
But then he earns money from at least the 19 countries which hold races, as well as those that don't but which provide revenues to f1, why would we, the UK, be entitled to a full share of the tax revenues on those earnings?
Personally, whether you like him or not, Hamilton will end his career as the best British driver ever. I think the Sports Personality is a silly award, but it's given by the British Broadcasting Corporation and its right that somebody who is proud to represent the UK has been recognised in this way.
