Button rejoins williams...

Jenson Button has signed a contract to drive for the Williams Formula One team from next season.

Button will leave current team BAR at the end of the current campaign to rejoin the outfit where he began his F1 career.

The 24-year-old Englishman currently lies third in the drivers' championship with 61 points from 12 races.

Team owner Sir Frank Williams believes Button can fulfil his ambition of becoming world champion during his two-year contract.

"If we give him a good enough car most certainly yes," Williams said.

"He's on a strong upward path, every drive he improves and becomes more experienced and we've always believed an outstanding measure of a great world champion driver is the smoothness with which he drives and the infrequency of his accidents."

Button spent just one season at Williams before being forced to make way for Juan Pablo Montoya, spending the next two years with Benetton before moving on to BAR.

Asked why Button had been keen to return to the team, Williams added: "He started with us in 2000 and we've been in very close contact all of the time since.

"Maybe he just harboured a wish (to return) and recognised we had spent ten's of millions of pounds reinvesting in the company technically speaking, maybe he recognises we have a greater opportunity of providing him a world championship car than his present team.

"I haven't asked him the real answer yet."

WHY!!!!

3rd with BAR with no WIlliams to be seen....was it the money...williams booted him for montoya and while i felt at that time montoya deserved a seat, button looks the better driver now....why would he go to a team that left him cold for 3 years and desert a team that is strongly competitive?

either Williams have an amazing package lined up in the next few years, honda wanna cut back on theirs or he got one hell of a pay bonus

maybe coulthard will end up at BAR...can;t remember where montoya is headed....

Well, that's a surprise, I don't remember seeing that on any of the Silly Season lists.

Button has proven that he can provide results though. He just needs to get that first win under his belt.
 
yeah....just released now as info

If william told me to take a hike for 3 years I'd tell them to tick it...maybe he see's wiliams as his best chance for a win

Or it's all about the $$,$$$,$$$.$$
 
i can;t see anyway round it....R.Schumacher is with toyaota next year though i may be worng, its either tere or mcclaren..there is a lot of driver hopping going on this season though, i hope someone gets competitive with ferrari, as much as i feel for them (how close they came with the viellneuves and hakkinens) we need some competition.

best contenders are the BAR, Renault (if they add a better all round car to their launch controller), Williams and of course Mcclaren with that other finnish guys whos tipped to be schumachers ferrari replacement


Rubens barrichello chose stay at ferrari as no.2 rather than switch to equal footing at williams...probably opened the door for button. so he wasn;t EVEN 1st choice...shit they just cleaned up both drivers this year
 
Button is a moron

The Williams are not competitive
BAR is 2nd this year and Honda has proven it could supply great motors

I guess it just a question of $
 
i onder if he;s trying a schumacher (going to an ailing team and being painted the hero when they get good again)....but raikonnen and schumy are too strong. should have kept the BAR offer, if they could afford viellneuve they can afford to keep him. honda was really beginning to refine their horses
 
Villeneuve is finished

Nobody wants him back

He won the WDC because, and only because he had the best car at that time

Anyway we might have a good 2005 championship
