**logbook** · August 6th, 2004 02:24 PM

Looks like Button is leaving the Brackley squad to go back to the team that introduced him to F1. It has been confirmed that Williams has taken Button up for 2005 to partner Webber in their bid for the championship.

However, in a related report, BAR is trying to hold on to Button by stating that they have taken up Button for another year. The silly is season is really under way!

Hmmm... adding some twist into it, huh? Para gumulo isip ng ibang team at magbago sila ng tactics. :D

di ba on-loan lang si Button sa BAR, kasi dumating si Montoya sa Williams, now that Montoya has left, babawiin na nila si Button sa BAR..

BAR has issued an ultimatum to Jenson Button's management company, ‘Essentially Sport’, requiring them to arrange a face to face meeting between Button and BAR executives by close of business on Monday or face immediate action to enforce BAR's contract with Button.

"We have been trying to talk to Jenson for days," said David Richards, BAR Team Principal. "He has a clear duty to all of those who've worked with him for the last two years to explain to them what is going on."

"We have complete confidence in the strength of our contractual rights," said Richards "and in the option that we have exercised for 2005."

The option was approved at a board meeting of BAR on 20th July. Jenson and his management team were informed of this in writing well before the end of the option period on 31st July, a fact acknowledged by Essentially Sport. Notice of exercise of the option had also been lodged with F1's Contract Recognition Board in Switzerland.

"If people make commitments they should keep them - and I will use every means available to me to make sure that all the requirements of our contract are met," said Richards.

"If we do not have a meeting with Jenson by Monday night to sort this out, the processes to enforce our rights under the contract will commence without further notice."

At ang bagong twist diyan ay Hakiiinen babalik sa F1 via BAR.

Ang tanong ay did jenson sign the contract with BAR?

E kung hindi ano pa ipaglalaban ng BAR against BUtton?

Mukkhang idadaan ni david richards by technicality.

Button may not race for the rest of the season anymore for BAR. Anthony Davidson, current test driver, may replace him. Also if the F1 Contract Board finds Button's Management at fault, his super license may be revoked and he may not race anywhere next year.
