Montoya was a Wiliams contracted driver on loan to Ganassi , he was brought into f1 and back into the williams fold on the Demand of Gerhard Berger , who felt it was a waste to have him in Carts while they struggled with Zanardi ..
Your original statement Implied Montoya got the ride because he brought cash , if not Button would have gotten the ride , when in truth Montoya is a much more talented and accomplished driver than Button , you failed to acknowledge such by your statement ..
.Button on the other hand had a top Williams ride after accomplishing what ?

Mansell like Button was lucky to get the Williams ride that took him to a WDC, he was unemployed when he got the call ....

Sorry Lewis, Super Aguri has made a statement that they will not be coming back to F1. I hear Sato was at qualifying day in Indy, however...
Toyota is on the fence and now a statement from Red Bull which could effect 20% of the current grid.
Red Bull suggests F1 departure
11 May 2009
The Red Bull team has become the second in two days to hint a possible disappearance from the Formula One grid unless regulations are revised ahead of the 2010 season. With a £40m budget cap option in place, a possible 'two-tier' championship is on the cards and has been opposed by a number of teams on the grid.
For the start of next season, all entries will be presented with a decision: accept the budget cap and enjoy greater technical freedom or continue with an unlimited spending limit whilst following the current, more restricted, technical rules.

With the possibility of two sets of regulations being used in one championship, Toyota publically touched upon a possible exit from the sport on Saturday in the event of the rules not being changed. McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh responded to this by stating that the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) should discuss the issue with governing body the FIA behind closed doors rather than with the media. However, less than 48 hours later, a similar threat has emerged from Red Bull.
"If the proposed rules for 2010 stay unchanged, we will not take part in the 2010 championship," said Dietrich Mateschitz, head of the Austrian energy drinks company - which is behind both the Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso teams - whilst speaking with the Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper. "Teams of manufacturers will no longer take part," he added. "Of the current teams, only two or three will remain."

Wayne,
It amazes me how you pick one topic and debate that one thing no matter how flawed your arguement.
I'm not a Button fan, but Rubens has been faster than Button in exactly 1 out of 5 races this year. That means Button has been faster in 80% of the races and yes, team orders were in effect yesterday, but don't pretend to tell us Rubens is faster than Button. We all saw what has transpired over the 5 races.

Rubens certainly can't match the pace of Button's but I do feel for him, he must feel awful to be in the same position again where he was before with Brawn when he had to pave the way for Schumi.

This is such a useless debate, neither of the Brawn drivers are that good (although I would agree with the rational minded people in Button being quicker, which is everyone but wayno), put 80% of the field in the cars and they will win. Just watch them drive and how much they are (or aren't) working the car. The more I watch the season the more I realize how bad Red Bull got screwed by the cheater diffusers, they built one hell of a car to the rules (or "spirit" of the rules), have a good driver line up, but got royally shafted by that ruling.

Barrichello quit threat to Brawn
bbc.com
Rubens Barrichello has threatened to quit Formula 1 if he finds out his Brawn team are favouring Jenson Button.
The Brazilian lost Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix to his team-mate after boss Ross Brawn changed Button's strategy.
"If I get the slightest sniff of the fact that they have favoured Jenson, I will hang up my helmet tomorrow," he told United States channel SpeedTV.
"But I know Ross wouldn't do that. He asked me to drive for him and he knows I want to race fairly with Jenson."
Team orders is a sensitive subject for the veteran Brazilian, who left Ferrari in 2005 a year before the end of his contract because he was fed up with not being allowed to race team-mate Michael Schumacher.
Brawn was Ferrari's technical director at the time.......

That's a bluff I'd take him on any day. There are tons of quicker and younger drivers who I'm sure would be happy to take his seat and I can't imagine there is a line of other teams beating down the door for his services...

Why do you cast aside, a legit question from RDL? Not answering the question makes you look like your avoiding it altogether. State your explaination, ie that it supports your points, or disproves others points, he's changing his tune now (Rubens), etc.
This is why people can't stand you. Man up and debate. And if your going to talk to someone do it directly. Don't use Finn as a third person in the middle.
I'm just looking out for you and your best interests.....
