Button it!!
I wonder what team will be "on the Button".
Renault have confirmed Piquet. Is that cast in stone?
Seb looks like he's out of STR anyway so a possible shoe-in for Jens?
Team Honda may be sold but ...........

Honda Motor Company CEO Takeo Fukui apologised to Jenson Button after the Japanese manufacturer announced its withdrawal from Formula One.
"It's a real shame and I feel deeply sorry for Jenson Button," Fukui told a news conference.

I hope Button does land himself a drive next year. I still believe he has potential to get himself back in order. I don't believe he'll ever be world champion, but I think he can still be a worthy asset to a team.

If anybody does buy Honda as a going concern then having an experienced racer on board will be an enormous help, however I suspect that drivers with bulging wallets are more attractive in this current climate.

Maybe those German investors whom Fry turned down when they wanted to buy SAF1 will now get their hands on Honda F1, what an irony, but fully deserved by Fry.

STR is more likely to hire Sato for reasons other than talent.
