Radio 4 just reported that Button is confirmed. They are about the most dry and level headed news reporters around so it probably is true.

Pretty much everyone is reporting Button as Alonso's teammate.

If Marussia survives they might lease k-mag for a year and keep him in F1.

Perhaps Danish sponsors not on a Mclaren, but rather on a Marussia? Should be awesome for Mclaren, K-Mag, Marussia AND the Danish sponsors partner and business wise.

Perhaps that's the case, they want to keep Kmag in F1 for next year. So help Marussia and put Kmag in there. That's why it took so long..

that is assuming Kmag even wants to drive a Marrusia, he already said he wants a drive that can win races and championships if not he'll find something else to do

His dad totally dominated F3 beating Sennas record, got a good debut in a McLaren, then got a drive in a totally useless and unreliable Stewart and that was it F1 career over. sound familiar ?

Too bad for Magnussen. Surely no one thought he's out of F1 after one season, after all he took a podium in his first race.

Bad DNA perhaps? If you demand something, then you will have to prove your capabilities. Still, Button has shown K-Mag how it's done and finished ahead of him on points. You know true greats will perform even though circumstances aren't ideal. Vettel in a STR, Hamilton in the horrible Mclaren of 2009, Alonso in all those horrible Ferrari's or the Minardi, Senna in a Toleman, etc.

That's why I think Mclaren are going with Jenson, because even though the car wasn't great at all this season, he has shown us a couple really great performances.

The silliness is over!

I've moved the McLaren team discussion to the team thread. I'll temporarily lock this one to avoid confusion.

Esteban Gutierrez at Ferrari as test/reserve driver they will probably hardly use him save at the Mexican GP to promote La Escuderia.

He has positioned himself well. He will be first in line when Kimi retires next year. If he can show some speed in the simulator if not friday practice he definitely has a chance like Massa did. At the end of the day, Ferrari know if the car is good any decent driver can bring home the goods.
