Button: I will be with Honda

Jenson Button on Friday said he will still be a Honda driver in 2009.

It is understood that the 28-year-old's current deal with the Brackley based squad runs out at the end of this season.

But although apparently now pledging to stay next year, the Englishman refused to rule out switching to another team at some point in the future.

"Everybody's got imagination and nobody can see into the future," Button is quoted as saying by F1's official website.

"For the moment I am very happy with where I am and I will be with Honda next season. And that is what I am concentrating on," he added.

Button, whose only win was scored at the wheel of a Honda in Hungary two years ago, made his debut as a 20-year-old with Williams in 2000.

Honda's team CEO Nick Fry said at the Australian Grand Prix this year that the two sides are working towards a new deal for 2009.

"He's certainly someone we want on our side," he said, adding that Button's management and Honda chiefs would likely sit down 'later this year.'

Crash

Another big accident but not as lucky as heikki,Stephane Ortelli escapes with a broken ankle,

Ferrari: We will not sign Alonso.

"Bringing Fernando Alonso to Ferrari to partner world champion Kimi Raikkonen would not be desirable" Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo said on Tuesday.

Alonso denied this month that he had an escape clause in his contract with struggling Renault that might allow him to leave for Ferrari at the end of the Formula One season.

However, Spain's double world champion did say contracts were "very flexible" given his departure from McLaren last year.

Felipe Massa's shaky start for world champions Ferrari this season increased the speculation.

However, Massa won in Bahrain and now Montezemolo has said Alonso would not be the ideal driver.

"To line up a Raikkonen-Alonso double act would mean wanting to damage yourself. I want two equal drivers that work together," the president told Tuesday's Gazzetta dello Sport.

Di Montezemolo also said he would be devoting more time to Ferrari after stepping down as head of Italy's industry body.

Raikkonen still wary of McLaren

Ferrari may have dominated the last two races, and Raikkonen may have moved into the lead of the drivers' championship but the Finn is still wary of the challenge McLaren will pose for the rest of this season.

"Hopefully we can keep up the advantage we've had in the past couple of races," Raikkonen said. "BMW was stronger than McLaren at the last race, so you never know how it will be, but we'll have to wait and see what they've managed to do in testing this week."
