Oh god - rumour mill ahoy!
Button to leave Brawn and sign with.... McLaren.
No thanks. Get Rosberg or Glock in the seat
That's been doing the rounds for months,its just part of silly season. I would be very suprised if anything came of it.

Hamilton is on $27 million a year. Button would be able to demand similar to drive there. What can Brawn offer him next year? $5 million? Maybe he thinks he only wants to stay in the sport for another few years and retire mid thirties. Pocketing a few tens of million more over the next couple of years must be attractive to him.
I can only guess that he is currently feeling on top of the world, full of confidence. I bet he thinks he can beat Lewis.
No matter his status as reigning World Champion, Button is not the best driver in F1. Such is the ability of Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen, he's probably not even the third best. He won this year's championship because he drove superbly in a car that was far better than any other on the grid until the mid-season point. Without that advantage, fourth place in the Drivers' Standing may be the summit of his realistic ambition for 2010.
Todt elected as Mosley successor
Almost inevitable really, Ari had almost no chance with the tactics that Todt et al were employing.
Oh...wasn't even close.

I pity the fool, lol. This article says it best:
suprise surprise you agreeing
Personally think Button is better off where he is, he knows the car (which will only get a lot better), Mercedes Im sure will invest heavily in Brawn over the winter, and he should get undisputed No1 within the team who ever his team mate is, even if it means less money (even though I think the least Brawn should do is pay him what he should have earnt this year even if its spread out over the 2 / 3 year deal he is after.
Ah well. Todt is now FIA president, which effectively means Mad Max's tenure continues.
Bugger.
You're so close to saying it.. may as well.. go on.. go'ango'an'go'an..
