Ma va che Button è comunque forte forte eh.

Con Giggino come compagno in Mc, mi pare abbia avuto una media punti addirittura più alta dell' anglo-caraibico.

La scorsa stagione con Fernando non credo possa fare testo, visto che facevano a gara a chi esplodeva prima. Per quest'anno non so, vedremo...

Miami... Jenson? Dovrebbe essere qui' da qualche parte...

Button alla Williams?

[Lotus]

Spero di no... io capisco l'urgenza di dare un sedile a Vandoorne ma fossi in McLaren terrei Jenson in squadra, ancora per il 2017. Se hanno ambizioni di rientrare nel giro grosso dall'anno prossimo devono accettare il rischio che il pacchetto non sia all'altezza di quello che ha consentito, per esempio, ad un pur grande esordiente quale Hamilton di mettersi in luce... è più facile che Button con una buona McLaren dia un contributo solido, nell'arco dell'anno, rispetto a quello che potrebbe garantire Stoffel... ma questa è una mia idea... sanno solo loro cosa aspettarsi, immediatamente, del belga. Piuttosto offrirei pilota giovane e know-how - con l'ausilio di Honda - a Sauber... hai visto mai.

Se Jenson va alla Williams e la Mclaren vince il mondiale, troviamo @Jenson86 su qualche traliccio

sono combattuto: da un lato spero sia vero perchè consentirebbe un allungo di carriera al pilota che preferisco insieme a Alonso; dall'altro da tifoso McLaren mi dispiacerebbe perdere un talento così cristallino (a favore della squadra che sopporto meno per altro)

Idem

Probabile ultimo contratto della carriera in F1. Entra in gioco pure l'aspetto economico. Ovviamente, non è una cosa cattiva o malvagia. Tutto legittimo

[Jenson86]

Da quello che so è soltanto una questione economica. Tra lui e Alonso ci sono tanti milioni di differenza, ma in pista le prestazioni sono simili. Jenson è bravo in queste situazioni perchè sta parlando con Williams, trattando con Mclaren e stringe l'occhiolino al WEC ( e Bernie non ne vuole sapere di perdere un altro pilota, soprattutto popolare). Settembre sarà decisivo.

Fa bene. Tanto uno come lui non ha più bisogno di dimostrare nulla.

Button uscirà di scena a fine 2016 e al suo posto correrà Stoffel Vandoorne.

Il contratto con McLaren è comunque stato rinnovato per altri due anni: l'anno prossimo sarà ambasciatore McLaren, mentre il suo ruolo per il 2018 non è ancora stato definito, ma non è affatto chiusa la possibilità di un suo ritorno al volante come pilota titolare.

Si parla di anno sabbatico, strano eravamo tutti convinti di vederlo in Williams il prossimo anno

[Bertoku]

 

In an announcement chairman Ron Dennis insisted should not be interpreted as 'retirement', McLaren said Button would take a sabbatical next year but continue working with the team.

He has the option to return to racing in 2018 should Fernando Alonso choose to retire or leave at the end of his current deal.

Button's situation had been a key factor in the 2017 driver market, with runaway '15 GP2 champion and long-time McLaren protege Vandoorne tipped for a race seat and suggestions Button might return to his first F1 team Williams should he be replaced.

He said the deal he had reached with McLaren suited him perfectly.

"I will stay current, train my arse off, attending races to make sure things are on right track and input as much as I can," said Button.

"I'll spend more time with friends and family and live on my own schedule.

"I decided over summer break to not carry on racing.

"I'm really excited. I will do everything I can to make sure this team is competitive in 2017."

Dennis emphasised that a return to racing for Button was a real possibility.

Previous drivers who announced sabbaticals, including McLaren's 1998/99 world champion Mika Hakkinen in 2001, never returned.

"Other drivers who took sabbaticals never had a contract," Dennis pointed out.

"Jenson is capable of winning races and world championships but it's the physical grind of F1.

"Jenson can get his mind balanced and re-established

"It's a creative contract that works for both of us, a perfect solution for the circumstances within our team at the moment."

Button has raced in F1 since 2000, when he made his debut with Williams for only his third full year of car racing after seasons in British Formula Ford and Formula 3.

A difficult spell with Benetton/Renault was followed by a breakthrough period with the team he joined as BAR but became Honda and eventually Brawn - a story that ended with a fairytale 2009 title.

He then moved to McLaren and brought his tally of grand prix wins to 15.

Button's replacement Vandoorne dominated GP2 last year and made his F1 debut in place of the injured Alonso in Bahrain this season.

"I feel awesome. Jenson is a great inspiration to any racing driver," said Vandoorne, who is racing in Super Formula in Japan this year.

Alonso described the deal as "very good news for the team".

"We will have Jenson in the team which is most important," he said.

"He's the best team-mate I've had in terms of performance and feedback.

"Stoffel will bring fresh ideas and we will push team to maximum but still have Jenson helping us."

McLaren-Honda announces innovative three-driver strategy

Posted on Saturday, 03 Sep 2016 16:00 (BST)

McLaren-Honda today announces an innovative three-driver strategy for the 2017 and 2018 Formula 1 seasons.  

World Champion and 15-time Grand Prix winner Jenson Button has signed a new contract to extend his relationship with the McLaren-Honda team, is now contracted for two more years, and will consequently continue to play an active role as a key member of the team.

McLaren-Honda’s two race drivers for 2017 will be double World Champion and 32-time Grand Prix winner Fernando Alonso, and the most talented and exciting young driver in the sport today, Stoffel Vandoorne.

Ron Dennis (Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Technology Group) explained:

“McLaren-Honda’s race driver line-up next season will be Fernando and Stoffel – a perfectly balanced mix of proven brilliance and immense potential.

“But, before I speak on the subject of either of them, I want to talk about Jenson. As a race driver for our team these past seven seasons, he’s been superb, both on and off the track. And, as we’re seeing this season, he remains superb – not only fast and fit but also experienced and expert. He’ll start his 298th Grand Prix tomorrow; as such, he’s the most experienced driver on the grid. 

“Having extended his contract to include 2017 and 2018, he’ll continue to be a senior, influential and committed member of the team, and will remain centrally involved in the development of our cars. He’ll also be available to race for us if circumstances require it.

“On behalf of all at McLaren-Honda, I want to say how thrilled we are that Jenson has extended his contractual relationship with us. Moreover, I’m absolutely certain that the depth of his experience and the currency of his expertise will give us an advantage over our opposition next season.

“As for Fernando, 2017 will be his third year as a McLaren-Honda race driver, and I need hardly reaffirm his credentials here. So let me simply restate my belief that he’s one of the finest and fastest Grand Prix drivers I’ve ever seen, and we’re very proud to have him in the team.

“He’s been both diligent and patient over the past two seasons, and he shares with all of us at McLaren-Honda the confidence that 2017 will be the season in which our partnership begins to deliver strong results. 

“Stoffel has been a member of the McLaren Young Driver Programme since February 2013, and was appointed our Test and Development Driver 11 months later.

“Over the past two-and-a-half years he’s made a very valuable contribution in that role, learning from his two World Champion team-mates as well as from our many world-class engineers, and, having been runner-up in World Series by Renault in 2013 and the run-away winner of the GP2 Championship last year, he’s now completed with distinction a meticulously designed apprenticeship.

“He’s consequently now ready to race in Formula 1, as his fine Grand Prix debut in Bahrain this year proved.”
 

Yusuke Hasegawa (Head of Formula 1 Project and Executive Chief Engineer, Honda R&D Co Ltd) said:

“First and foremost, I'm delighted that Jenson will continue to play a big role in our development process. He has been a part of the Honda family for eight years now, and the last two years have been especially challenging, but I'm thankful that, through his experience and quality as a driver, the team has been able to progress at such a significant pace. We have the utmost respect and trust for him to continue working with the team. His knowledge and skills will surely bring out the best of our power unit and chassis and give valuable extra strength and depth.

"Our two race drivers for 2017, Fernando and Stoffel, make for an exceptionally strong and highly motivated pairing. The innovative three-driver approach that McLaren-Honda have announced today is a well-balanced line-up and a positive outcome.

"Working with Fernando for the last two seasons has helped push our development at lightning speed. Our hope is that we can deliver the package that he deserves as soon as possible.

"Finally, we would like to give a warm welcome to Stoffel, who has already shown great maturity and promise in 2016 for McLaren-Honda, as well as working with Honda on the Super Formula project. We look forward to working closely with him next season.”
 

Jenson Button (Driver, McLaren-Honda) said:

“I’m delighted that I’ll be staying on as a key member of the McLaren-Honda team. In fact I’m massively excited about my new role, which has come about as a result of a number of in-depth chats with Ron. Specifically, I’m looking forward to becoming even more deeply involved in the team’s efforts to bring about the success we’ve all been striving to deliver. 

“I love McLaren-Honda – I firmly believe it’s made up of the best bunch of people I’ve ever worked with – and I have no intention of ever driving for another Formula 1 team.

“To be clear, I’m very definitely not retiring. I’m contracted for both 2017 and 2018, I intend to work hard on car-development, and I’m sure I’ll get behind the wheel of the new car at some point.”
 

Fernando Alonso (Driver, McLaren-Honda) said: 

“Although the 2016 season is far from over – and I’m confident we can score some good results before the end of the year – I’m already looking forward to 2017.

“I’m passionately committed to contributing to making McLaren-Honda a winning team, and next year I firmly believe we’ll begin to see the kind of results we’ve all been working so hard to achieve over the past couple of years. 

“Jenson has been a brilliant team-mate during that time, and it’s fantastic news that he’s going to continue working alongside us in his new role. He’s a very good driver and a very nice guy, and his car-development skills are second to none. “As for Stoffel, I’ve come across a lot of young drivers over the years, and I know a good one when I see one. I enjoyed working with him when he stood in for me in Bahrain earlier this year, and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with him, and to helping him learn and develop. Together with Jenson, I’m sure he and I can take McLaren-Honda back to its rightful place: at the front of the grid.”
 

Stoffel Vandoorne (Driver, McLaren-Honda) said:

“First of all, I want to express my gratitude to everyone at McLaren-Honda, and especially Ron, for showing faith in me. “I’ve signed loads of autographs in my career, but, when I inked my signature on my McLaren-Honda contract today, it’s safe to say I had an exceptionally special feeling as I picked up my pen to do so.

“It’s an enormous honour to become a McLaren-Honda race driver, and I promise to work as hard as any Formula 1 driver ever has before. “I already know the team extremely well – they’re a fantastic group of extremely clever people – and I’ve already raced the car once and tested it often. I have total confidence in the potential of the McLaren-Honda project, and I firmly believe that, racing alongside a brilliant and experienced driver, I’ll be able to make a strong contribution to the team’s future World Championship successes.

“I’m not saying when that’ll happen, but I’m confident that that’s what the McLaren-Honda team will achieve, and I’m determined to do my bit. 

“There are a lot of other people whom I’d like to take this opportunity to thank – too many to list in fact. So all I can say is: you know who you are, and thank you.”

Non mi stupirei se Button tornasse in pista nel 2018 (o magari già nel 2017) qualora la MP4-32 dovesse essere una monoposto da metà schieramento
