Ron has seen the light and Jenson is to partner Alonso next season on a quarter of the Spaniards salary of £40 million

[RossPhim]

I could live with that salary!   

Good news for JB if it's true though!

Be interesting to see how JB measures up to Alonso,everyone thought Hamilton would JB at Mclaren but it didnt happen.

It's a funny old world. All the great jobs that we'd willingly 'work for free' pay multi-million pound salaries.

Yet all the shit jobs that no one wants to do are paying minimum wage....or in some cases even less.

What a crazy f***ked up world.

No one more surprsied than me.

I read that Alonso wanted him on board but don't know if Ron would have paid much heed to that.

Hopefully in a good car Jenson will be able to shine... he certainly puts the effort in

[chrisgixer]

Delighted. A very talented driver and will get results. Worth the wait in the end. But I do wonder what the background shenanigans was all about?

Bbc reported this befor the Mclaren event, which was confident of them.

Personally I think JB is one of the best drivers in F1 and I prefer him to Hamilton but he seems to lack enthusiasm if he hasn't got a car that's capable.

[05omegav6]

A totally understandable reaction though...

That is one of my problems with Jenson. Alonso and Hamilton wring the last ounce out of whatever they are in. How did Vettel fare in a less than capable car with a capable team mate? It is a shame as he is British and he does show some class in wet weather. That is always a good indication of a potential.

Anyway we will see how he fares next year! With luck he will show Alonso a clean pair of heels all season and I will have humble pie on the menu March to October

its good news or else we'd only have one brit in F1 (and he seems to be turning into a non Brit with his silly mid-Atlantic accent)

Yep.....He comes across as lazy and disinterested.

Could equally be that he is alot less arrogant than say Shumacher and the like

Yes, possibly Al.....As F1 drivers go Button is probably one of the least arrogant.......and why are most of them so small?
