Interesting that he turned any of it down. Clearly he felt it was better to be at the top in IRL if a top drive wasn't an option in F1. |

Think he might have been, I think he also tested the actual Minardi that weekend too.
And Wheldon was also linked to BAR, but I think BMW Sauber actually had contract talks |

But he had an injury too and made his comeback too early. |

If he hadn't have been injured JJ would have had a good 2-3 years at Enstone and if that went well I could envisage him joining Ferrari, wh he tested for at the end of the 80's. |

Button's contract may well have become irrelevant after Montoya pulled that move on Schu at Interlagos. Frank and Patrick were ecstatic!
