Button said ‘Team rivalry as McLaren’s advantage’

© Mclaren - hoch-zwei

It is a balancing act between being a team needs two strong drivers who drive each other to the limit in order to develop the full potential of the car. On the other hand, an excessive stable rivalry affect extremely destructive, as the Red-Bull-collision between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel showed in Istanbul.

Curiously, it was said before the season benefit that Red Bull from the stable driver pairing and it will be at McLaren with two world champions in the team only a matter of time before the great crash between Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton is. But it can not be said – that proved the two in Turkey, as she fought a tough, but risked no collision.
Jenson Button believes that a competitive situation Ohata has a fertilizing effect: If one were to make Sebastian Vettel is now the number one, “would be detrimental to both.” A prime example is called the world champion his own team: “I know one hundred percent that we will be treated equally. And by that I mean not in terms of material, but how people behave in a team.”

An interesting statement, especially since it was precisely in this respect prior years at McLaren massive potential for conflict. 2007, the then-McLaren team boss Ron Dennis confirmed any cases that Fernando Alonso, the same material as team’s Lewis Hamilton get, but the proud Spaniard felt particularly reprehensible human left in the lurch.

A situation that is Jenson Button in a team match with Lewis Hamilton a stranger, “My mechanic want me to win, and his wish that he wins. This internal struggle is really exciting, but it does not go too far. So it should be – and It works well for us. ” The fact that the Briton at McLaren after seven races so relaxed look to the future, can go quite well on his cap. Alex Wurz had predicted before the season: “Put it in the first six races Jenson not enough to beat Lewis Hamilton, then his time is up.” That he is now in the World Cup standings ahead of his teammate, would probably hardly anyone expected.

World Cup chances are even buttons for more than a third of the season completely intact. We amount at the end of a title duel with Lewis Hamilton? The 30-year-old dismisses: “You can not safely say that this may be between Lewis and myself will decide so much happen. If they had with Red Bull after the race in Monaco said, they would have expected to walk, because the distance was so great. In Turkey, we have shown that we are equally fast if not faster, although we have to improve in qualifying. ”
Button expects Material Battle for World Cup crown

Also at the Grand Prix of Canada, the McLaren drivers are to assess strong – the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is contrary to the equipped with the F-bay system silver cars. It also knows Button: “We should be here soon. The course is very fast, but that is no place that forgives even the smallest error, because the concrete walls are so close. That is why this weekend, always unpredictable.”
