I think Button has a longer contract with Honda so I doubt it will be him...

I'd say Sato, but you never know it could be a GP2 driver...

True, but thats the point would Toyota really want to buy a driver (who has only won 1 race) that breaks contracts so readily all the time...

Though then again he is a Honda driver, so probably the answer would be yes :lol:...

It would be a real blow to Honda, losing their man to their Japanese rivals, but I can't see Button being much better off at Toyora than Honda.

:lol: Funny a lot of people thought it would be Fisico the first to be shown the door... Strange how its turned out to be Ralf...

I hope he does go, before the end of the year, he has no passion for the sport in his soul, Trulli has to do all the work so when he has a bad weekend Toyota have no chance in anything... To be beaten by Spykers is shameful...

@Dark_Fisico
You're absolutely right when said that "...he has no passion for the sport in his soul..", that's exactly what i think about Ralf Schumacher!!!

albers and sutil were both neating him for almost half of the race.... just shows how ralf isnt up to it anymore.

with this poll question, i think sato will go to them, button said he wont leave honda, so hes out of the question now.

Button is supposed to be tied to Honda for a further year, further to the Williams contract buyout.

Button have contract with Honda untill 2010. he have to drive for Honda to payback 30mil$ that Honda gave Williams for him. And Toyota isn't better team in any way for him.

Well, Sato is Honda's men. So I think that it would be Montagny.
