This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
However, Button has a past with Honda and he has great respect and admiration for the brand Honda. Also their relationship have been excellent. Hard to say what will happen at Mclaren.

Ron wants a top class driver like Hamilton or Alonso near the young Kevin. Accorind to various reports in the british, german and italian press he is already working on this matter. I don't think that Button has many chanches to remain at Mclaren. Despite the image he has in Japan, is Honda that is offering a big chunk of money to get a Alonso/Hamilton/Vetter (one of those) for 2015.
Tony Salter officialy started work at Mclaren as Principal Aerodynamicsts. It was rumoured that he was signed with Cattellani from Lotus in May, but started work for Mclaren only these days in July.

This is the third engineer that I found only for July 2014, and I may not find all of them because I use only linkedin. They had 3 engineers recruited in July, 3 in June and 3 in May, so 9 new people just in the last 3 months. There are other which about which I posted between January-April 2014. There are about than 20-30 new people working for Mclaren Racing since the begining of the year. On their websites on Mclaren-Jobs there are 11 vacancies and almost every day appear one more new vacancy.

Wow,big deal for RB.
In terms of Mark Ellis, his LinkedIn-profile says he is still at RB. Does anybody know if this deal with Mercedes was also cancelled?

Ellis has been seen at recent races with Mercedes.
Even if it is from September 2013, it was not presented here and I didn't present it either, because just now I found it.
A design engineer, Vince Cogzell, was recruited by Mclaren from Mercedes.

Ferrari: Steve Clark gets reinstated by the court!
The Englishman wins the case for being demoted from the role of the engineers responsible

Ferrari: Steve Clark gets reinstated by the court!
The news has made it emerge Leo Turrini on his blog "Deep Red" Ferrari was sentenced by the court's work in Modena reinstate engineer Steve Clark in his role as head of race engineers the team from Maranello, because coach and former McLaren Mercedes would have been demoted.
Steve Clark from the beginning of the year, in fact, no longer part of the team of Formula 1, for which it was intended for another assignment: Ferrari appointed him head of projects that arise in conjunction with the cones (we study new bob, bicycles and other sports equipment). English is not satisfied with his position demanded the reinstatement that the Court has recognized: we'll see him on the track at Suzuka or will be reserved for a new role of the same rank?
Marco Mattiacci, in short, does not have the freedom to build the team that would compete in the Circus, as it now must also comply with directions that come from the labor courts. If you already had a difficult task, now threatens to become daunting. The ruling will unleash great discussions taking place right now that is the government's attempt Renzi to review the protections of Article 18 ...
Actually, Mattiaci wont have an issue at all there.
Ferrari has been ordered to reinstate Clark in his contracted Formula 1 role or an equivalent, which could result in a departure settlement for the 48-year-old Briton.
According to a one-sided story as presented by Media, Steve Clark was 'dumped' into a place he wasn't promised, and because of that, Clark went to court and subsequently won this legal issue. Steve Clark probably wasn't re-instated, as I think the 'relation' without doubt has become unreparable after such an issue, thus i'd say he got a 'departure settlement'.
In other words, zero issues for Mattiaci.
Ferrari's legal devision will have the lawyes solve this issue, Mattiaci might not even be aware of the entire issue, so again, he won't have to deal with more then he's having to deal with already.
