After literally a million years of debating the issue (not literally), McLaren-Honda has finally decided to put Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso's Beard into the race seat of the MP4-30 next season. Kevin Magnussen will stay on as test & reserve driver, presumably in case Nando rage-quits again or Jenson reaches the end of his career in the near future.

Kind of random, but I looked up Alonso's height after seeing this picture and I guess he's only like 5' 7" or 8". Nice to see another short person getting shit done.

The shorter the better in F1. It saves weight and car space. Nico Hulkenberg and Mark Webber are tall drivers and Nico had some difficulties with his feet when the noses of the car were lowered for 2014.

Makes sense. They're kind of like jockeys I guess.

What a relief. For button and for me. I seriously didnt want to see Kevin next year. He made many foolish mistakes that cost mclaren and other drivers points.
