Jenson Button says Lewis Hamilton did not make a right decision to go Mercedes – Formula 1 news
Jenson Button of McLaren said that he does not think that the decision made by his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, was right.
He told that they were not friends but they had good working relations as they helped each other if they faced issues with their cars.
Button believes that Hamilton made his own choice by deciding to join Mercedes for the next 2013 season. He thinks that the British driver should not have made such move for the next 2013 season.
Button told The Guardian, “He has chosen to go his own way at the end of the year. It is his decision, although I personally don't think it is the right decision.”
Button added that he and Hamilton are not friends yet they have good working relations as they resolve issues with their car together, if there are any.
He believes that both of the McLaren drivers provide McLaren the chances to win races therefore the team will be happy to provide Hamilton with anything they can but they should be returned with victories over the circuit.
“The team will give Lewis everything they can because Lewis can give the team chances of winning races, as I can. The team care about the drivers, but also they care about winning. There will not be any change in this team at all in the way we go racing
with two drivers,” he added.
Lewis Hamilton has faced a lot of mixed opinions related to his decision of replacing Michael Schumacher for the next 2013 season. Critics believe that he should have not joined Mercedes because McLaren is more competitive currently and does not have as
many issues in comparison.
Hamilton has been able to win 3 races in the current season and the success of both drivers has taken McLaren to the 3rd position in the championship. McLaren was the team with which he started his career therefore there are a lot of mixed sentiments.
Let’s see how the British driver performs in the next 2013 season. It would be interesting to see because Michael Schumacher has already faced several issues with his car and has not been to show impressive performances over the circuit.
