'Bravo, Lewis...'
Jenson Button, the 2009 World Champion, has claimed Lewis Hamilton wouldn’t have had the confidence to take on a new challenge at Ferrari during their spell as McLaren F1 team-mates.in February by announcing that he will end his long and successful association with Mercedes at the end of F1 2024 to join Ferrari on a multi-year contract.The seven-time World Champion’s decision came just five months after Hamilton signed a new two-year contract with Mercedes until the end of 2025.
Appearing on the Sky F1 podcast, Button revealed he admires Hamilton’s confidence in joining Ferrari – and taking on a driver of Leclerc’s calibre – at this advanced stage of his career.“We’ll never be 100 per cent happy, we never are. We want more action, more excitement, more controversy. I think the exciting thing right now is we do have drivers moving around.
“To have that confidence in himself to move to Ferrari and go up against someone like Charles, I would say: ‘Bravo, Lewis.’“But now he does and he’s a really rounded driver and confident that he can go and have another challenge.
