Button in a Williams for 2005
 

I hope this is not a repost.

According to f1-live.com Jenson will be driving for Williams in 2005.

Well that's something i wasn't expecting.

That is a total shock to me!!!! :shock: I think he should have stayed in BAR.

Apparently as well, Mika Hakkinen may have already signed a 3-year contract with BAR, what an amazing season 2005 is shaping up for. This is on f1racing.net, Mika and David Richards are meeting this weekend.

yeh!! i just heard that news, i was totaly shocked!!!

i thought bar would do whatever they had to do to keep him, after there sucessful season, i guess at the end of the day sir frank's wallet was just that little bit bigger.

that is now 2 good drivers "pro drive" has lost, one from formula 1, and the other from australian v8 supercars "craig lowndes" both brought out by richer teams.

yet again this is a total shock..

im guessing button will get car #1 because he's british.

:shock: It is not April 1st mates !?! What a shock ! And the most surprising would be the second one but where did you see that ?
F1 is really a strange world !

What a shock!! after such a great season so far with BAR who would have thought he would go to Williams! Noooooooo :x

Thats big news indeed, in a way its good for Webber to have a great teammate but I would have preferred him to be the No. 1 driver. :cry:
In other news, Da Matta has been sacked from Toyota and replaced by Ricardo Zonta as of the next race.

I also heard that Anthony Davinson is getting Jenson's place, and looking at his friday practice times why not??

That dosnt surprise me, there were so many races where he was not pleased with the car...and he was not happy with the way they performed as a team...hopefully he will get what he is looking for at williams

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

So if this is indeed true, Williams will have JB and Webber?
<-------- Don't break up my favorite duo in F1!!! :cry:

i find that pretty intresting, did they list a reason as to why?

Weird that both F1 live.com and reports i've heard that BAR are denying it and saying he's signed a one year extension at BAR :? Also the same radio report said BAR can't get in contact with him- not answering his phone, so it doesn't look good for them. nothings ever clear in F1 :P

I am more pissed that JV might not come back...

hmmm well maybe JV to Toyota? Then again BAR will be in some desperate need for some good driver. So who knows maybe JV back to BAR.

btw maybe Button is not happy with the development of "next Years car" and the constant development of this years car. Maybe he feels that BAR/honda simply are not capable against competing he top teams, and that BAR´s performance might have been a combination of skill and good luck. Especially seeing how the other teams are catching up fast.

Not to forget there is always the issue of "money"

yes i was just reading these contradicting reports..

maybee even a legal battle for button.. this is getting intresting..

see what happens after the dust settles.

yeah the boss says the contract is for 2005 too.... so thats weird i still think hes goign to williams

lets wait and see
