As we approach the halfway point of the season, talk begins to turn to the 2016 driver lineup, and the first rumours have begun to circulate.
The Italian press have been reporting for the last couple of weeks that Kimi Raikkonen will be leaving Ferrari at the end of the season and that the Maranello based team are in talks with Valtteri Bottas to take the soon-to-be-vacant seat.
If this move does happen, Williams will need a replacement for the 25-year-old Finn, and rumour has it that the driver they want is Jenson Button, provided that McLaren choose not to activate the clause in the 2009 World Champion's contract that would keep him in Woking for 2016.
All the above information can be found on NewsNow's F1 page.
It would be a great move if it happens. Bottas deserves a drive in a team like Ferrari and it would be a dream move for Button finishing off his F1 career at the team where it started.
What do you guys think?

Heard the rumour as well but do not think Williams would go for an "old" driver
They will probably look to bring through one of their development drivers

Yeah I thought that too.
Unless they're also getting shot of Massa.
