Clearly this season is going to go down to the last race. Unless Barrichello has a disaster in the race today. Button will be lucky to scrape a point or two out of this race.

For the 2008 season Button was paid ?10m. For the 2009 season he agreed to a 70% reduction in his contract and was paid ?3m.
I would imagine due to the major success of Brawn GP winner both the constructors and drivers championship the new contracts offered would be substantially more.
My guess would be that Button as world champ would want to go back to at least his previous salary of ?10m plus probably ?5m more for being world champ and Brawn being constructors champs too.
The rumour is that this is a story leaked to the press as Raikkonen has been stalling signing with McLaren and Button has not been offerd the contract he wants. By releasing the story linking Button with McLaren it will speed up the negotiations of both teams to get the drivers they want. Raikkonen to McLaren and Button with Brawn.
