Let us not forget he beat Hamilton in 2011, and was "better" over three years. In fact, he's been better than or equal to every one of his younger teammates since 2010.

 

I think Massa will aggro out of Williams and Kimi will retire from Ferrari before button leaves McLaren.

i never cared ...  :o

 

that said, i should open a new thread about Kimi (seeing there's one for Falonso and this one)  ...  :rolleyes:

 

then again, he did retire at the end of 2009 (sort of), so he has that covered.   ;)

There was an interview with JB on Sky last year (if I recall correctly when he passed DC for most race starts by a British driver, so towards the end of the season).  He was asked if he thought he would reach 300 grands prix and he said he thought it very unlikely!  If he was serious about this that would mean he wouldn't continue beyond the end of 2015.  Although, maybe he didn't realise how quickly 300 would be reached when put on the spot.

 

Sorry I can't find the interview now; I wish I could because he elaborated on why he thought he wouldn't go beyond 300 and I can't remember what he said.

 

Personally, I hope he keeps going for a few more seasons, as long as he continues to drive at the same level.

All depend if the rookie beats him this year or not. If Kevin beats him, I think he should retire next year.

I think he will retire from F1, when either:

 

1) He decides he has had enough and looks for other racing opportunities

2) McLaren decide to let him go and there are no other competitive seats

 

Beyond that, nobody on here has a bloody clue.
