Jenson Button wants to sign a one-year contract with McLaren for 2012 rather than a long-term deal so he can keep the door open to a potential Ferrari drive in 2013. Fernando Alonso is said to be keen on having the 2009 world champion as a future team-mate.
I can actualy see it happening y'know!

Friends, this is the text of my column this Monday in the Jornal da Tarde
Jenson Button has not renewed his contract with McLaren. As I learned in Monza, there is interest on both sides of the extension of the commitment and the factor that was also preventing the final settlement is not financial, but only time spent in the McLaren.
The 2009 world champion wants, contrary to what one might suppose, only a one year contract, or fellowship with Lewis Hamilton, who has a good working relationship in 2012. Just. Since Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren team principal, wants to have this powerful rider, third in the standings with 167 points in front of 158 Hamilton, fifth in the team for three years.
The question that remains is in the air: why, in principle, Button will not accept the proposal from McLaren? After all, will play the next World Cup in 32 years (his birthday Jan. 19), is no longer a young man receives a salary that few teams could pay (estimated to be $ 12 million per year) and the structure of the McLaren is among the best in Formula 1.
The answer is simple: Button interest to Ferrari. And the Ferrari interests Button.
Felipe Massa has a contract with Ferrari for 2012. And only. Massa needs a supertemporada, next year, to convince Ferrari to be worth extending their commitment. Whenever possible, of course, but it's not what history suggests the last two championships.
Button has the desired profile of the driver for Ferrari. Fast, capable of living with a partner Sly as Fernando Alonso, and retrospective high regularity among the first. More: he has the backing of Alonso. Often Spanish praises British driver for McLaren.
Within himself believes he can beat him, but Button can also take points of their opponents more direct. Even if occasionally win their races, as it does today in McLaren, Button is for Alonso, the ideal companion.
Since English does not bother to share the team with a pilot difficult, as Alonso, McLaren finally came discredited in 2010, while world champion last year, and fought on equal terms with the darling of the house, Hamilton. Darling does not necessarily mean to have privileges, such as Alonso has always claimed.
Button to drive for Ferrari in 2013, potanto, you first have to agree with McLaren's contract just one year. And after Mass did not match next season, at least in the first part of the championship, when the images are defined and thereafter, in general, team leaders make their decisions.
As it turns out, has a lot to happen before Button race alongside Alonso. What is certain is the mutual interest of both Ferrari and Button, and that the two sides have talked.
Bruno Senna - In the race at Monza was the only one to make three pit stops (the other two) on the track that penalizes more pit stops. Still scored the first points in Formula 1 to receive the checkered flag in ninth. The race pace of Bruno with the Renault car was very good, just that with three pit stops, the first early in the competition, has advanced so far in the standings.
Bruno uses the intelligence and emotional balance to compensate for the lack of experience and the idle time to build his rise to Formula 1. Every workout or race shows signs of being able to grow significantly. It's my bet.
