Lewis Hamilton asserts he has not learned anything from Jenson Button – Formula 1 news
McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton has said that he has not learned anything from his teammate, Jenson Button but has expressed that he has got some good learning from his ex-teammate, Fernando Alonso who is now in Ferrari.
Martin Whitmarsh, the team principal of McLaren has recently said that Hamilton and Button have always enjoyed a good time together and both have learned a lot from each other. However, the 2008 world champion has said that he doesn’t understand why Whitmarsh
believes that, as he has learned nothing from his present teammate. Nevertheless, he said that he has learned few things from his nemesis, Alonso who is racing with the Scarlet team.
“I don’t know why Martin would say that, as I couldn’t say what I have learned from Jenson,” Hamilton said. “I learned from Fernando (Alonso in 2007), but I don’t particularly feel I have learned from Jenson.”
The Briton is currently having some harsh time with his compatriot in the team who gave some inconsiderate comments over Hamilton’s tweets on twitter.
In response, Hamilton said that he has never been against his team and he was just making some clarifications for his fans. Nonetheless, he said that he will not do such thing again.
“I didn’t mean to go against my teammate or my team, I just wanted my fans to understand. Now I know why I shouldn’t (have done it) and it won’t happen again,” he said.
In addition, there are many speculations that he may leave the Woking based team at the end of this year as his contract is going to end. Besides, the rumours have linked him with Mercedes for the next season.
Conversely, he has underplayed the ongoing reports in this regard but has said that he wants to race with a team in which he will have a competition with his teammate.
“Well, no, I have no need or desire to be in a team like that; I like to be somewhere where I have to fight with my teammate,” he added.
Over and above, it will be interesting to see whether the British driver changes his team in the upcoming year or not.
