Button confirmed at McLaren
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80197
I was wrong. Button was stupid enough for career suicide, and unless he can prove he's on Hamilton's level (which he hasn't yet in his career), his 2009 WDC will be remembered as one that had a dominant car rather than driver.
McLaren retains the #1 and 2 cars, which I'm sure they're ecstatic about, and they now have the last 2 WDCs in their car.
I have no doubt next year's McLaren will be more suited to Hamilton's driving style, since he's been with the team 3 years now, and they've been developing the 2010 car for a while. Button's in for a long 3 years. If Button would've stayed at Brawn, I'm sure he would've had #1 status, and the advantage of being with the team since 2003. Good luck Jense, you'll need it.

its not uncommon fin F1. Alonso did it, Hill did it. Both for various reasons. Alonso was signed with Mclaren for the up comming year before he won his second WDC.

I agree with this. Last December he had no drive, and all season he was going on about how grateful he was to even have a F1 seat, let alone be in the position to drive such a great car, blah blah blah, and now he turns his back on his only team that has given him a race winning (let alone a WDC winning) car.
Alonso had already won 2 WDCs already, and everyone (including him) knew Renault was going to shit the bed the year after. That and the 6/10ths he took with him didn't help Renault either. That's probably how Alonso's "getting the rest of them", right?
