Button Refuse To Deny Ferrari Switch

Jenson Button has refused to deny reports of a $18m a-year move to replace Rubens Barrichello at Ferrari. A British tabloid said on Saturday that the two-year offer is part of a 'masterplan' to garnish English-speaking opposition to Ferrari rivals' 'breakaway' plot.

"I read that this morning as well," the 25-year-old BAR driver smiled after qualifying on the front row for his home race at Silverstone. "A nice piece! I can't say anything, I'm just living in the moment. I won't deny it, but I cannot talk about my future next year. I'm not going to say yes or no."

If you're a gambler, though, you might follow the advice of F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, who thinks Button might have a hard time squeezing out of a Williams option. The 74-year-old told the Daily Express: "It wouldn't be the worst move he's made."
