How many more ways can this story be told?

If Button will be making less than he was at Brawn, then why was money such a sticking point between he and the Brawn team going into 2010? Challenge my a$$. Best of luck to him, but my guess is that he will ultimately regret his decision to leave.

I think Speed is just rearranging paragraphs from earlier stories to keep us going. Didn't we read about this yesterday? Of course, like a sucker, I posted this comment anyhow....

Brawn offered him more than McLaren just before he signed with them something like 12 mil. So thats why they all say it's not about the money

Jenson will fit right in. He has already learned 'Ron-Speak'. "New challenge" is Ron-Speak for Screw Brawn!

Jens will do good beside Lewis. I can't see staying where you are not wanted or appericated. Ross had all but push Jens out the door.

It is just spin anyway. Jens isn't the first WDC to jump ship. We don't know the whole story. I'm sure there were expectations on both sides that didn't gel. No the first time, won't be the last. Nothin' better than the job you had or the one you're gonna get.

But then Brawn recinded the offer once they found out Button was nosing around McLaren.

I am dissapointed with how both sides handled this contract situation, and it makes one wonder how such supposedly intelegent individuales would allow this to happen. But since we will never know the whole story, we can only offer speculation.
