I find that somewhat hard to believe.

His name isn't even on the radar of the bookies.

I would believe Button or Massa over Webber if Merc wanted to go the retired driver route, however Webber would be able to provide some insights into the workings of RBR.

How Honda could supply a second F1 team - ·*ÒëÍÅ-Èü³µ - »¢ÆËÌåÓýÂÛ̳

Cliffs: Ron is gone so Honda could supply another team - but it looks like the only team that *might* want a GP2 engine is Sauber

When Red Bull needed an engine for 2016, having fallen out with Renault, then-McLaren Technology Group CEO Ron Dennis blocked a potential deal for Honda to step in. He said McLaren didn't want to put more pressure on the supply system and make Honda's problems worse.
RBR dodged a bullet there for real. Bwoah!

They talked to Bottas. I don't think Williams would want two new drivers for next year unless the price is right.

Abu Dhabi drinking age is 18, though hotels serve only 21 and over. It's 21 everywhere else except Sharjah. Supposedly you need a drinking license in the UAE unless you're a hotel guest and are drinking at the hotel you're staying at. There are different rules for those who pray five times to the east and those who don't.

Granted I was never great at beography (or spelling, or math), but I'm pretty sure the UAE would look east while praying... You know, because they're west of the holy site and all.
