Button is not unhappy about missing the Mugello tests
According to the McLaren driver, there are no significant new features to test
Jenson Button he is not worried about the idea of skipping the seasonal tests at Mugello, where Mclaren will field the two test drivers Gary Paffett and Oliver Turvey.
The three-day test, which will take place from 1st to 3rd May, will feature all the teams except HRT. Lewis Hamilton he said earlier this week that he would like to take part in tests to test the new components, but Button doubts there will be much difference.
“The reason we won't be there is because we've never been to Mugello before. I don't think we will have any particular benefits from being there as there are no heavy upgrades to try,” Jenson Button told the Daily Mail.
“It will be an opportunity to allow the test drivers to accumulate kilometres, and also we will also be able to try some very extreme things, so I think it's a good thing, but it's not necessary for us to be there.”
At the moment Gary Paffett and Oliver Turvey are still confirmed, however there could be some changes.
