Hope he doesn't take any Ferrari intellectual property with him

Hope Button gets a better season this year - bodes well for 2009 anyway.





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Funny isn't it!

Brawn took a 'sabbatical' before he joined Ferrari. Rory will soon jump ship and join him too!

Probably a contractual thing, ie cant work in the same arena for 1 year. ie F1 racing.

Thus his ferrari knowlege will be a year out of date by the time he gets to his next job.
Its common with highly trained specialists.

aka Garden Leave.
IIRC under European law they have to continue to pay you while you're on 'sabbatical'.

I believe I get a whole month off if I get a job with a competitor rather than working my notice

Button is ready to walk --- might just be Ron has a seat warming up for him unlikely though two british drivers would not be popular with the sponsors.
Or it could be Toyota are waving a very big cheque.

We all saw what brawn brought for ferrari, lets hope he can do the same for button. Would be good to see two british drivers going for the championship





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I'm sure they said at the end of 2007 season that Button was leaving Honda anyway?

Or am I making that up?

And haven't Mclaren pretty much already announced their driver (no. 2 ).
