Lol!! Given how broke Lotus currently is they probably just give him Burnout 3 to play.

While Honda are still getting up to speed, button can be beneficial to them. Nothing wrong with experience.

Button and Alonso have got a good 3-4 years left in them, losing Button for Magnussen right now would just be absurd. McLaren can't be that stupid, surely?
Just look at the last stint in Sochi, Button was more than half a second a lap faster when both were in clear air, I'd love to know the average gappage per lap in race pace Melbourne <> Sochi? If it tallies up to the Sochi numbers Magnussen doesn't deserve to continue as a McLaren driver. If they're basing their decision on data obtained over the season then he's 99.9% toast?
Just read that he doesn't want to go to a lesser team if he's out of McLaren - so maybe his F1 career is done.
THE STTTTTOOOOOFFFFFF!!!!!! is the future of McLaren.

Button is well liked in the UK. From a sponsor pimping standpoint, he's a good fit.

The elderly F1 fan thing is from a caption of a picture showing Nicky Lauda and David Beckham posing together. I'd post it but I'm on mobile.
LOL never saw this before. Awesome.

Magnussen was clearly faster on saturday in Sochi. He would likely have qualified ahead (for the 5th time in a row) had it not been for a problem with fuel pressure. Magnussen went from 11th to 5th and spend his last stint cruising for fuel saving.
Would Vandoorne have done any better than Magnussen this season? In the first half McLaren arguably had the weakest chassis out of the top five teams, and given the amount of talent and experience in the top 10, it has not been an easy job for Magnussen to fight for positions.
Kvyat has has received lots of praise on the other hand. Honestly though, Toro Rosso sits waiting to pick up top 10 positions from drivers that stumbles, all while having no competition from behind. It's a perfect seat for a rookie.
I still believe Button, though one of the slower top drivers, belongs in one of the top five teams. Though if McLaren has Alonso, I don't see any need at all for Button there. Second fiddle points bagger, please let Alonso through if you are holding him up. Magnussen on the other hand is cheap and has potential if he can convert his qualification pace into race pace.
At least they were using the best Codemasters F1 game ever released

According to reports. Kimi has raised his voice in a meeting with Mattiachi saying he's giving 110% but not getting back the same from the team.
Mattiachi ordered to give Kimi a new chassis for Austin.
Also, Redbull stops Vettel from testing for Ferrari in Abu Dhabi and holding him to his contract that lasts for 5 days after Abu Dhabi race

Yeah source it Italy's Omnicourse, so no British conspiracy.
Elsewhere, Gazetta is reporting that Mercedes spent €406 million for this new era, €168 million for the engine, er power unit alone.
Looks cheap when you consider how dominant they are.

If 2014 is Kimi giving 110%, I wonder what he was giving back in his McLaren days...

I just poste a review thread for F1 2014 you might wanna wait for the current gen version. This game seems not worth getting at all.

People do not seem to grasp the severity of the situation though. Most people who suffer the same sort of injury never actually recover and remain in a vegetative state for the rest of their lives
Thanks. So it's utter shit then I guess.
Some do, some don't. I'm surprised he has stayed alive this long.

Rumor on twitter is that Kimi took a 20% pay cut and a option for 2016.
And Domenicali is going to Audi outside of motorsports.

I get how severe it is but I'd rather hope. The alternative just depresses me.
Is anyone doing the OT this year? Can't be arsed to do it again, CM didn't pay me enough last year

If CM give me a copy I will put up an extravagant OT.
The way they´re operating you´ll get the 2003 game with reskinned boxart. Printed b/w.
Good, it's time for someone to outdo the AC Revelations OT.
Beware of that offer because then they might force you to post on the OT everytime a new patch or DLC is released too.
Wait there are not going to be any patch or DLC for this game this year, so you're safe.
According to Spanish BFF media members, one of conditions for the "free" release Ferrari gave him was that he wasn't allowed to make any announcement before Ferrari does theirs. They want to control the narrative not Alonso.
Ferrari driver announcement was scheduled for October 13th but it was put in hold because of the Jules Bianchi accident. They don't feel like it's time to announce Vettel when someone from their family is on a hospital fighting for his life. Even worse is that pre-Suzuka it was rumored that Bianchi would be the 2nd part of the announcement.
If the rumors end up being confirmed like Kubica's rumors were a couple of years later then in the last 5 years, this is the 2nd driver Ferrari had planned to hire and couldn't due to unfortunate situations.

LDM just confirmed Alonso is leaving Ferrari on Italian television, effectively putting one over Marchionne. So we should get some news soon.
Gotta love spaghetti Ferrari.

I think that just speaks to the very plausible rumor that Alonso is contractually obligated to let Ferrari make their own driver lineup announcement before he's allowed to make his own. McLaren was always the obvious option.
As far as Mercedes, I think that was certainly a possibility, but that's more in the hands of Lewis. If he was losing to his teammate right now, he wouldn't have the team support nor the leverage to ask for the money he's looking for. Remember, Mercedes had been talking pay cut for him, and you know that wasn't going to fly. They'll pay him if he wins however, and that's exactly what he's been doing. Essentially squashing the idea that he might leave, closing the door on a potential open Merc seat.
Everything about the F1 2014 game suggests to me that they are focusing on next year's current-gen launch but were forced to release a full game this year rather than just DLC in order to meet their license requirements.
Given that they've been using a modified version of the GRID engine to power their games, I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do with new hardware and a purpose-built game engine.

Reckon it'll be purpose built for F1 though, or just a modified version of whatever their next-gen jack of all trades engine?
While Milestone lost the WRC license, it's a shame Codies held onto the F1 version. The PS3 F1 game is far more fun and complete than any of the Codies ones IMO.
I have no idea. Part of me really wants Hamilton and Alonso in the same team again
Yeah I think you're right. It seems that we're all expecting him to sign a new multi-year contract once the title battle is over.
