Just take it easy and hope for some standard Monaco chaos.... "And Blackhander crosses the line and collects McLaren-Honda's first points of the year..."
Haha that or I'll teach even maldonado a thing or two about crashing
Maybe you'll be the reason for the chaos and win by virtue of your own ineptitude.
Any other GP and I would consider Button a shoe in, but as ha is the Mclaren Honda Ambassador, he has a lot of commitments on behalf of Mclaren and Honda that week end so maybe more beneficial to them not to let him race.
He is a nice well respected guy, ex world champ that speaks well in English and Japanese so will be a huge asset to the team if he does not have to commit to the race. At best, he will get a point or two if in the car, so where is the "value" to McHonda?

One name tweeted was Alex Rossi
But that does not look on now.
Considering why McLaren have an open seat at Monaco, whoever tweeted Alex Rossi's name as a replacement is an idiot.

I'm kind of hoping there is a freak race and he nabs a podium then for the rest of the season the McLaren can only score small points and he ends up winning the three-way team mate battle.
