Button does not agree with Hamilton's choice
"Switching to Mercedes? Personally I don't think he made the right choice," he declared
The decision of Lewis Hamilton to leave the McLaren and pass in Mercedes in 2013 he did not find favor with Jenson Button. According to the 2009 world champion, in fact, his teammate did not make the right choice.
Mercedes has won just one Grand Prix since returning to Formula One in 2010, after taking over the Brawn gp – the team with which Button won the championship title the year before – while McLaren won 16 races in the same period of time.
“He chose to go his own way at the end of the year – he declared as reported by the Guardian -. It's his decision, even if I personally don't think it's the right one."
“We are not close friends. We work together and have a good professional relationship. If we think there is something wrong with the car we work on it", he continued.
“The team will help Lewis in every way to make the most of his chances of winning races. There will be no changes in this team and the two drivers will race on equal terms“, He concluded.
