Williams F1 - 2005
Well how could I not comment about this little fact. It’s basically taken the entire F1 community completely by storm. The reason? Jenson Button has decided to leave BAR to join the one great Williams BMW, in the quest for a World Championship.
It’s completely insane because he seemed very happy and very content with BAR, no one really thought that he would be the second Williams driver, after Webber was confirmed. I mean I was over the moon about Webber, but I think teamed with Button we’ve got one hell of a team next year. Loads to prove from every side. I also hate how people are giving my man Sam Michaels a hard time about his recent Technical Director position. It’s not been great so far but he’ll pull it together for sure. I just want to see how the whole Button leaving thing pans out since BAR are calling foul on the whole situation and ‘technicality’ that Button is leaving because of.
It also seems that BAR seem to not want to take this lying down, check this link. There is an option taken here, and it seems that Button might have to face the music very soon. I guess in the coming days the shit will hit the fan for Button as well. I mean it’s nice to have two solid drivers on the team, but to be honest I’d rather it was under better circumstances. I mean the webber move was nice, Jaguar said thanks for the loyalty Mark, but we completely understand why you’re going. This is not something I’d ideally like to have follow Williams, but it’s not their fault, they saw this as an opportunity when Button came knocking.
In other Williams news, gone is the Walrus. That’s a shame. I’m talking of course about the radical nose the williams FW26 has.

They’ve decided to go back to a traditional nose. Such a shame as it looked amazing, and the most unique nose on the track, without a doubt.
