Jenson Button has signed to drive alongside Lewis Hamilton in an all-English line-up at McLaren next season, BBC Sport has learned.

The world champion's move will be announced later on Wednesday.

The confirmation follows news that former world champion Kimi Raikkonen will not race in F1 next year.


Excellent !!

I am looking forward to 2010 like no other season before it!

[Muzzer]

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

[TJD2003]

Could you believe it, roll on 2010.

What a year to come, Schuey back at Mercedes Brawn maybe would ice the cake.

I'll have a tenner on Lewis sticking it to Button over the course of the season....

Oh and Bye bye Kimi, (don't forget to take your ice cream out of the fridge on the way out,) don't let the door hit you in the ar*e as you go- most ungrateful F1 champion/winner ever?

[CooperD]

That should make for an interesting season.

Erm, 6 page thread on this already??

Next year should be a corker,i don't want to wait till march,and Mclaren get to keep the No1 on the car;)

Lol at Brawn/Merc.

Tried to play it cool, and hard.

They are now stuck with Nico and Nick- good drivers but hardly setting the world on fire. I could be proved wrong, but Mclaren do have a very good line up

[TJD2003]

It doesnt cost money to have a new thread.

Its confirmed and can have its own.

Quite.

Be good to see how Button gets on against Hamilton, I suggest he may not do as poorly as many are saying (and it will add credibility to his WDC, something lacking in many eyes at present).

He needs the car to be fairly neutral though to be given a fighting chance.

Glad McLaren retain the No.1!

You could have said the same of their driver line-up last year, and things turned out not too bad.

[TJD2003]

LOL Mclarens scottish cousin once removed.

Could a mod alter it.

Brawn in denial, has Ross really cocked it up this time ?

Two German drivers without a win between them or can they really get Schuey back in a car.

I dont think so, would be amazed to Schuey back so I think Brawn have shot them selves in both feet.

Good for Jenson, more money, a bigger and more established team and if he does give Hamilton a run for his money, then all doubts about him will be quashed.

I'm very excited about it. Silly move by the Brawn team though. Your bluff has been called and you've lost the WDC and the no.1 plate. The team will now have 2 drivers who have never proven themselves as anything other than average. Button and Barrichello were a far, far stronger line up.

Crash net reports Ross is flatly stating its rubbish !

"Ross Brawn has rubbished speculation that Jenson Button has already 'agreed terms' to join McLaren next season and has confirmed that negotiations are continuing with the newly crowned F1 world champion."
