Not really, bad career choices have been Button's specialty. :D

Button had 1 win in 9 seasons of F1 before taking 6 wins and a WDC with Brawn. And he's moving to a team that stumbled seriously in 2009?

I am really looking forward to this season, and this is one of the reasons why. :laugh:

I'll wager he's not even getting half of what Kimi was demanding. Not like he's going to be equal #1 or anything. McLaren doesn't want to repeat THAT nightmare.

Ross Brawn had some interesting comments on this.

Button left to prove himself (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80664)


"Jenson wants to prove he can do it with another team and another car," said Brawn. "I don't think Jenson left because of money; the proposals we made to Jenson were very good.

"There was a feeling that he somehow lucked into this championship and that was very unfair. Now, he's going to face Lewis Hamilton and that's a fascinating match-up."

Brawn also confirmed that he only decided to contact Schumacher about his availability after he knew that Button was leaving the team to join McLaren.
