2009 Formula 1 champion Jenson Button spoke on Sky Sport about Lewis Hamilton’s adaptation to Ferrari…
Jenson Button: “If this was the Lewis we knew seven or eight years ago, the relationship with his partner would not be easy. But now he is calm and confident. I don’t think there will be any problems. I’m sure Lewis and Charles will work well together.
Charles has his own strengths: he knows the team, speaks Italian. If he wanted to, he could create a difficult atmosphere for Lewis in the team. You could say it’s unsportsmanlike, but it’s part of racing – Nico Rosberg will tell you that. The most important thing is that you have a team behind you – this gives you strength and takes it away from your partner.
But Lewis has been in our sport for a long time, he understands everything perfectly, and I am really looking forward to this battle between my Ferrari teammates. This is a unique team where everything revolves around the overall result. In every other team the driver works for himself. And the team works for the driver. But at Ferrari everyone works for Ferrari. It’s all about Ferrari winning world championships.
For a driver like Lewis, the star of our sport, this is certainly a new path. And he will have to work for Ferrari to win the championship. I look forward. It will be interesting!”
