    It seems like F1GP is going through a bizarre stage at the moment. Some teams quitting (and/or talking of it), but some great historic marques like Mercedes Benz and Lotus getting back into the game.

    It will be interesting to see what the "manufacturers" list looks like in a couple of years. #brawngp

    @Doshu: Providing engines to MacLaren and Brawn, and owning 40% of MacLaren isn't being "in the game"?

    Mercedes didn't like the fallout from the cheating scandal, or having all the Constructors points stripped for it. And Brawn needs money. Probably a very simple decision for Mercedes. #brawngp

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I consider managing a team bearing your name to be a totally different level of involvement to just providing engines. There's a lot more money, work, reputation and risk involved when you're producing the whole car.

    Even with just the car, there is more at risk. eg. Lotus will be risking more than Cosworth in their venture.

    And didn't McLaren and Brawn pay money for those engines? I'm asking, because I don't know and assumed that would have been the case. #brawngp

    @Doshu: But you're agreeing that Mercedes is deeply invested in the enterprise, and that they will be increasing that involvement.

    I'm sure Kingfisher and Red Bull are passionate and involved in their teams, but I doubt just how much technical expertise and talent resides at corporate headquarters.

    I believe that Mercedes is providing the engine to MacLaren at no cost. But, owning 40% of MacLaren means that any billing would be mainly an accounting matter, rather than an arms-length business transaction. Someone else might know the actual facts on this. #brawngp

    Makes former team principal Jackie Stewart look like a bit of a piker, doesn't it?

    It sounds like a lot of the issues around Button firming up a seat revolve around his salary. Considering that he gave up millions in order for his team to compete this past year, it seems rather cheap and mean spirited on Brawn and Mercedes part.

    Button proved what he could do with a competitive car, and his last few races showed him passing cars in near-impossible situations. The guy has guts and talent, an he kept it together under immense pressure.

    You'd think he's easily be worth what Hamilton, Alonso or Raikkonen can demand. #brawngp

    I'm legitimately anxious over where Button is going to land. I want to see him running under Ross's expert eye against next season, but then again if he ends up at McLaren next to Lewis, it'll be an amazing pairing. And then in the back of my mind, there's also the scenario that I ran into more than once as a youth, not being able to decide on which girl to ask out and ultimately ending up with no one at all. Button wouldn't end up without a seat, would he? #brawngp

    "whom he could not pass on the narrow circuit as the Brazilian deployed his speed-boosting Kers device in every corner"

    I'm sure you guys are writing this to make it "dramatic journalism" and I'm sure you know that KERS (not Kers) is limited to 6.6(repeating) seconds of power. And by graphics on screen during the race, the drivers don't use it "in every corner". If they could use KERS in every corner, you would see every team using it. And they would probably attach the switch to the same as the throttle if it was unlimited.
