Brawn GP is being very petty and unprofessional IMNHO. They lost Button because they showed him no respect. If they want to be arses and make fools of themselves until Dec. 31st, so be it. Nothing good can come from making a fool of themselves.

Frank Williams is doing the exact same thing with Nico.
Is Frank making a fool of himself?

Neel Jani. Another name linked to 10 million F1 seats over the years and have yet to surface.

Unfortunately Frank William's seems to have lost the plot... with his on again off again FOTA membership and foolish comments. His recent sale of a small bit of team ownership may be an indication he's about ready to throw in the towel? Whatever the case, Frank has made some poor choices in recent years even though I did admire the guy up until then.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect someone to finish out their contract. Seriously? That's what they are for!!

The way contracts work is he who has the Gold makes the rules...

So if the Team wants to dump a driver they can. It might end up in litigation and they might have to pay, but they can. If a driver breaches a contract they usually pay dearly because the Team has a lot more Gold than the driver and they can ruin you financially or otherwise if they desire. In F1, usually Teams will buy out a contract like Kimi got for sitting out 2010 or for a driver to go to another Team.

I find it incredible, that Donington Park feels that they could have even the remotest of possibilities of hosting the 2010 GP. They have no financing, their race track has virtually been destroyed, and yet they think they are still in the running? Someone is living in a dream world, probably fueled by the urgings of an Evil Little Troll, who still believes he can milt Donington for every cent or pound, or euro, of dollar, that they will lose. Pure greed, behind it all.
