Todt's strategy, considered acceptable to F1's rules makers, was to use the secondary Ferrari to enhance the primary Ferrari's bid for the season's championship.

The 2002 Formula One season ended in the same way it had begun, with Michael Schumacher claiming a comprehensive victory, his twelfth of the season.

However, as the season progressed, the rift healed, and Button's times were consistently better than Villeneuve's, his best result being a fourth place in Austria.
A poor start to the 2005 Formula One season, which included a disqualification at the San Marino Grand Prix, and hence a three-race ban (if you include the San Marino GP), appeared to have picked up after he took his second pole of his career at Montreal.
On August 5, 2004 Button announced that he had signed a two-year contract to return to Williams from the start of the 2005 season; an apparent loophole in his BAR contract permitted him to leave if Honda's commitment to the team was in any doubt.
