Hungarian Grand Prix 2014, Hungaroring Race - 11/19

Never seen a team principles conference, how long have they been going on for, when do they happen and which channel covers it?

I agree with Horner and his reaction hopefully sends the correct message across.

Can't we have a conference with Bernie, Whiting, Todtt, Pirelli, Track Managers, FIA etc for these political, rules, regulations, steward decisions etc type questions?

Exactly, Perez had a contract and they paid him off to leave. Ultimately they could have kept Perez surely and brought in Magnussen but it was in Perez's interest to leave and be driving somewhere than being hung out to dry as a back up driver.

Kimi had his contract bought out to get him to leave to put Alonso in the seat. It's not a question of if Button wants to stay or even if Button has a contract for the next few years, if a team wants a driver in a seat they'll push out an old driver. In most cases they'd try to find a way to not pay off the full contract by getting them a seat in another team.

If Mclaren want him and Alonso wanted to go there, the rest doesn't matter, they'd find a way.

With Mag showing some really good form and potential and Button being out of a contract it would currently be cheaper to get shot of Button. If... say like with Perez, Button is on say 10-12mil a year and Perez was on 3mil a year, it would be way way cheaper to get Perez out of a 3 year contract than Button out of his final year. So if Button had 2 years left it could be Mag being pushed into a temporary driver with a view to bringing him back rather than paying button 20+mil to leave.

I wish McClaren take nico hulkenberg and get over his weight issue. Is the Honda pu still coming next year?

For ever, on the Friday, skyF1.
 
This is a key race for Hamilton; he really needs to get things back on track and put together a run of wins. If Rosberg can out-qualify him again, regardless of how, it's going to put Hamilton seriously onto the back foot.
