RSS FeedF1 World Champ Jenson Button Considers Options…
There’s still some uncertainty about which F1 team World Champion Jenson Button will race with next year. Although Button would like to stay with Brawn GP, his decision to do so depends on the fee that the team are able to offer him.
In his title-winning season, Button took a big pay-cut to race for Brawn. But now he wants his earnings to be more in line with his status on the grid. Brawn would like to oblige - but their ability to do so depends on the calibre of commercial partners that the team is able to bring in.
Current reports suggest that Mercedes is thinking of buying a stake in Brawn - a move which would provide the funds to secure Button’s services. Failing that, he might move to McLaren - which raises the intriguing possibility of him racing alongside Lewis Hamilton. That could represent a mouth-watering combination for a Brit-based sponsor.
