When he finally retires I'm going to buy you a Jenson Button, Williams number 22 cap. Just for you being a wise ass.

I would love one! Put it on an old plate, set it on fire while taking a video of it....and then upload that on youtube, tweet the link to saying "this was your entire career except that fluke in 2009"

A little gossip from SkyF1, and you need to take it with a pinch of salt when you see what publication it is from but - it'd still be funny if true....

Perez has announced another 2 year deal with FI.
There are few options out there for Williams I'd say?

After all that??? Jeez, I was sure he was moving. Thankfully I didn't make any dumb declarations here, otherwise some drunk guy or a Malaysian twink would have rubbed my nose in it. Rough crowd.

Is this a polite way of saying he has been demoted to the simulator / test driver.

Sounds like it! but his development insght is priceless! He will be an invaluable cog in the McLaren wheel . He never, ever takes development down a dead end alley! Mclaren have played a blinder. Congrats Stoffel!!!!

That's two empty season none filled by Perez. I'm thinking that given the performance of the Renault drivers, they'll both be out in the cold.

The World Motor Sport Council confirmed changes to Appendices 6 and 8 of the 2017 F1 Sporting Regulations which clarify outsourcing arrangements and conduct permitted regarding Listed Parts, Non-Listed Parts, wind tunnel testing and personnel transfer between teams engaged in a working or developmental relationship. A new procedure regarding wet weather starts was also accepted. From 2017, if a safety car is deemed to be required for the beginning of a race due to wet weather, a normal standing start will occur once the track is deemed safe to race. The process will see the safety car return to the pit lane and the cars assemble on the grid for the start.Drivers must continue to present their helmets in substantially the same livery at every event of the FIA Formula One World Championship for easy recognition of the driver in the car, however a driver will now be allowed one event (such as a home race) for a special livery (at the driver’s choice). Drivers will also be allowed to change their helmet liveries if changing teams during the season. During any single event, if a driver introduces more than one of a power unit element that is subject to penalty, only the last element fitted may be used at subsequent events without further penalty. This is to prevent the stockpiling of spare power unit elements.For the first five events of the 2017 Championship season only, the normal team selection procedure for tyres will not be used as the deadline occurs before pre-season testing. For these events the supplier will allocate two sets of the hardest compound specification, four sets of the medium compound specification and seven sets of the softest compound specification to each driver.

This would really shake things up and be the catalyst for a seat shuffle down the grid in a big way. Probably the biggest thing since the Alonso Vettel swap at Ferrari. Interesting if true. Bittersweet for Force India though as they've really taken ownership of the midfield. Even possibly coming out ahead of Williams. It's been a good story so far.
Although not talked about here, there's also rumors that Perez turned down a Renault offer waiting for Ferrari to call. Grosjean is also waiting for Ferrari to call. I guess the thought is that they can see themselves having the kind of success Alsonso and now Vettel are having with them.
