    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Mercedes buys Brawn

I think the Mercedes GP would love to have the number one on their car in their first season, ands have no problem paying Button the 10 million he wants. (Still 35 Million cheaper than Raikkonen!)
 
I think you will see that Mercedes have given Button the cold shoulder, Ferry. Apparently they are desperate for a German F1 champ, so Rosberg is going to get the full treatment.

As usual, it's all about politics.
 
I believe that it will be Rosberg (he carries both German and Finnish passports!) and Heidfeld.
Heidfeld ....... he's way over the hill, has been for years.
Glock would be a better choice.
Button should be retained as team leader of course, but as Brawn remains as Team Principal I can't see that happening.
FWIW, I've always regarded Ross Brawn at the same level as Briatore, Dennis and Williams ..... Walkinshaw taught him very well that only money matters.

The next German world champion will not drive a Mercedes; IMHO Vettel is the only one good enough to win a few titles. Rosberg is overrated. He's quick but I don't think he can carry a team like a Schumacher or Alonso. Insiders say he doesn't have the technical skills and if things are not going his way he doesn't seem to feel the need to improve.
Heidfeld is quick and very reliable; the perfect second driver to score constructors' points and not get in the way of the first driver. A great partner for Lewis, while Rosberg should stick around with Button and learn from him.
