by Angus Mackinnon
FORMULA ONE: LONDON, Nov 21, 2009: World champion Jenson Button will
drive for McLaren alongside Lewis Hamilton in an all-British Formula One
dream team next year. Button announced Wednesday that he had ended his
long association with Brawn, with whom he won his first driver's title
this year, to team up with 2008 champion Hamilton in a combination of
two of the hottest properties in motor sport. Button said it had been a
tough decision to leave Brawn but admitted the lure of McLaren and its
illustrious history, had proved too strong to resist. "I've followed the
McLaren team ever since I was a small boy, and it feels unbelievable to
finally be a part of it," he said.
