Pushy Dad vs Pikey Dad....There's only one way to decide... Fight!
A new rumour surfaced today in the form of Button moving to partner Hamilton at Mclaren.
I think it has some milage in that McLaren has cash to splash and Vodafone would be keen to stump up the readies for another British driver. Also Mercedes would be keen not to lose the world champion to another manufacturer and it would be keeping it in the family.Perhaps it's more a tactic for talking up Jenson's value and he'll still sign a deal with Brawn. I would have to say my money would be on him going back to Williams should Brawn decide he's too dear, in a "here have Rosberg, but we'll have Button in return" deal.
