What did Lewis Hamilton have to say to Jenson Button which prompted a wide grin from his team mate?
After three years together, McLaren’s ‘dream team’ will be broken up as Hamilton heads to Mercedes.
Since Jenson Button joined the team in 2010 the pair have been very closely matched. Hamilton has out-scored Button by the narrow margin of 609 points to 603. They’ve got six races left as team mates to sort that out.

We want to replace Massa, but we think Sergio might still be too young and inexperienced,” and then Martin says: “Yeah, you’re probably right. The guy’s shown some potential and all but to be honest I think he’s a flash in the pan and his career won’t be going anywhere in the long term. Personally, I wouldn’t sign him, if I were you.”
