Felipe Massa will drive for Williams next year, alongside Valtteri Bottas.
Maldonado :wave:
Though I expect Maldonado to go to Lotus.
Looks like Perez is OUT of McLaren.
To be replaced by Kevin Magnussen :blink:
Heikki Kovalainen will probably drive the Lotus for the last 2 races.
they asked Schumacher to come back for the last 2 races apparently. he said no :lol:
Shame because he's far more entertaining than Button.Quote:

I think it's very harsh on Perez. Button is rather lucky he is old and British. Allegedly.
I think it's harsh on Perez too. I like him a lot, but it's a cut-throat business.
Button, I think, gets a pass because his feedback and relationship with engineers is apparently much better. And he does have almost twice as many points as Checo. Though, for McLaren, both totals are woefully low.
I suppose they can't really afford to have another season like this due to how much more money the other teams will get. Not sure I would have binned him after one year though, where drivers are asked to be a lot more circumspect in what they can do - something Perez isn't exactly in tune with (Suzuka last year springs to mind :lol:).
Magnussen has done really well in the other formulas though, so it could end up being a wise decision. Once he starts, so he'll finish. Sorry.
