One for Truth Hurts aka The Special One

McLaren have indicated they are likely to drop Jenson Button and replace him with Stoffel Vandoorne next season.

Button, 36, is out of contract at the end of the year, while Vandoorne, McLaren's reserve driver, is one of the hottest properties without a race seat.

McLaren chairman Ron Dennis said the 24-year-old Belgian was "an integral part of McLaren-Honda's future".

He added: "Any team that imagines they may be able to poach him is very much mistaken."

Finally sense has prevailed in Mr Dennis' head...Button has taken McLaren to depths so low that I don't think they will recover any time soon. To be fair on Button, Whitmarsh had a huge role in this whole saga.

With all the talk of seats opening up at Williams and Ferrari next year, I can't imagine JB is sweating too much over this.
