I know it's silly season starting but recently JB,  said while at the Goodwood Festival of Speed that he hoped to spend all three days there next year. Is that an indication he had had enough. I hope not, he is a great embasador for the sport.

I think it was well reported, after Ron causing the crazy wait beyond last season end, that Jens has a one year contract with Macca this year, and they hold an option for 2016. So if asked Jens only possible answer is to say what he's said - or something very, very similar. 

I hope he stays, but if Macca drops him it's hard to see who else will be willing to pay decent money to keep him in F1.

If Alonso leaves Mclaren, which he just might (contract be damned) after the joke 2015 has been, then they would be well advised to hold onto Jenson along with a new, fast driver.

I'll miss him, but he is in the twilight of his career.  I hope he won't drive for anyone just to stay in F1.  DC seems a bit bored of the commentary thing, maybe he'll hand the BBC reigns over to Jenson.

JB will make an excellent presenter. Much as I like Eddie Jordan the two ex drivers would be great.

I'd still like to see Button get one more crack with a competitive car. I think he would surprise many. If not F1, maybe Webber can get him a seat at Porsche.

I hope he stays, but if Macca drops him it's hard to see who else will be willing to pay decent money to keep him in F1.

Haas is looking for a 'veteran driver'.

There is no one in F1 with more experience driving for struggling high budget teams.

Drivers like Alonso or Kimi might find Haas frustrating, but it will be more of the same for Jens.
