I don't think this would be a good move, Hamilton would run rings around Button IMO.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
I would imagine Brawn are trying to secure descent sponsorship for next year (shouldn't be too hard) before increasing Jenson's deal.
But they have found it hard to get in decent sponsorship. Virgin got them dead cheap.
That's because most view their achievement as a one-off due to the double diffuser issue. They no longer have any technical advantage and find it very hard to win races now.
A lot are expecting the Brawn's to be quite average next season, so sponsors aren't prepared to stump up the big cash.
Will be interesting to see Button/Hamilton in the same team though...
So if Button is off next season then who'll be driving for Brawn?
Is Barrichello staying put?
Rosberg plus one...
The 'plus one' was assumed to be Button, but I think Barichello will be happy to stay if there is a seat for him - but he can't hang around too long and he will be pressuring Brawn to make up their mind.
Button is the luckiest driver in history ... Brawn himsilf won that championship. Button was in the right place at the right time. He took a pay cut because he had no other options to go elsewhere.
