Welcome back Jenson?

[Tyre Tread]

Not yet.

[RichB]

Wot, not yet the ex-prez?

[JoyJuice]

I think Jenson`s had his time and he should move on.

Button need to smarten himself up a bit, get rid of that fluffy crap beard for a start.

Alonso should go too, lets make way for some new drivers, some up and coming talent.

Quite right. Experience and proven ability count for nothing. In fact anyone, anywhere, in any job over 35 should retire and give young ones a chance.

Well there is a point where reactions slow. Even fitness and experience didn't allow MSC to excel at 40 (and that is no critique of MSC, I was big fan). There are physical limits in F1.

agreed mate isn't this the problem with the "everyone is entitled to their opinion" crap.
he is such a good driver in all conditions still very fast and collects points throughout the season.

I was never a fan of MSC but i think his performance in the Merc was more due to the car than his declining ability. But I could be wrong.

He did manage to set pole at Monaco (before taking a grid penalty) which is not too shabby.

I don't want to get into an argument. I was never a fan but respected his ability. As our Russian friend showed in the last race, its one thing to qualify well and another to maintain the pace in a race. I still think MSC was still 99.9% as good when he came back from retirement as he was before. he just didn't have the equipemnt to do the job as well as some others.

Button is fast, consistent, experienced and a good Ambassador for the team and the sport. Most boxes ticked I think.

Especially if they're not clean shaven.

That's why drivers are becoming younger & younger - less chance of facial foliage.

Darn! And I had to choose the career where I age at the normal rate.

Agree 100%

As for MSC if you compare his performance with Rosberg at the time it makes you wonder how he would have done in the 2014 car.

We're talking about Jenson, not Benjamin Button.

Sorry, I thought you thought I was dissing MSC. I wasn't!

Anyone reckon Benson read's PH to get his tips?

[LDM]

I think he should give it ago at some point even if not this season.
I'm sure being a Le Mans winner and or endurance car champion would be a nice addition to the F1 championship.
