Lucky Strike BAR Honda's departing driver Jenson Button is certain that he'll be driving a blue and white Williams next year, despite David Richards' protestations. "I am going to be driving for Williams next season," cleared up the Englishman. "I'm not a legal expert but from the information that I have I am able to race for Williams next year."

Speaking to BBC Radio Five Live, Jenson made the first attempts at explaining his move. "My main aim in Formula One is to be World Champion and I want to challenge Michael Schumacher for the next few years and to do that Williams is the best team," he said.

"BAR have been a really great team to work with and I've enjoyed every moment with them. The atmosphere will be a bit different now but these things do happen.

"Formula One is not just about this season, and the resources at Williams are fantastic and they are a team that will be challenging for the World Championship next year."
