Also from Legard's Twitter feed.
I was very surprised that Heidfeld didn't get a drive at the start anyway. Always thought he was Mr Consistent & Reliable.
doesnt he hold the record for most points finishes in a row or something like that?
So, if Button was paid £10M + £3M, did he really take a pay cut? Have I miss-interpreted the information in the quote above?
Depends how many years the settlement was for. If I was made redundant from my workplace and they gave me a lump sum, then said workplace was taken over and they re-employeed me on half the wages, I'd still consider I'd taken a paycut.
As for heidfeld, he's a plodder. Keep him away from F1. All those years and he hasn't done a thing. No noteworthy overtakes, hell he never has a race where he sticks out. He was done and dusted, finished in f1. No one wanted him, not even jordan and then BMW enter f1 and find poor old heidy a spot, for no other reason than he's german.
A pointless decision to have him back.
Yep - he's cut from the same cloth as De La Rosa. Both consistent test drivers but missing the killer instinct needed in a top racing driver.

Davidson didn't cut it when he got the chance either, nice guy, great commentator, slow driver.
... the rot went much deeper through Mclaren than we have ever heard about.
Very much so. My belief is that Ron Denis knew exactly what was going on. Especially when a new driver like Alonso had the audacity to be sending emails and openly discussing Ferrari data. I think that all the main players at McLaren knew what was going on.

...Ron is skulking around the paddock cutting the wires on Eddie Jordan's headphones
You can't cite sources for a belief, deuse
The way I see it, either of these scenarios is the truth:
1) Ron had no idea what his team were up to, and was derelict in his duties as team principal for not knowing about it.
2) Ron had every idea what his team were up to, and was derelict in his duties as team principal for not hiding it all a hell of a lot better.
Both of these explain why Whitmarsh is now in charge, and Ron is skulking around the paddock cutting the wires on Eddie Jordan's headphones
I know.. but I knew he would try to get citations that was going to be the fun part
Motor racing is the most exciting race which origin back to Europe and as for as Italian Grand Prix is concerned it the most exciting event of motor racing. can some one tell me some important event coming onward...
