Mclaren have announced that they have now signed the 2009 World Champion Jenson Button for 2010. The news follows weeks of speculation surrounding Button’s future with 2009 team Brawn GP, whose 2010 driver line-up remains unconfirmed following their takeover by McLaren engine suppliers Mercedes earlier this week.
For Hamilton, 2010 will mark his fourth season with McLaren, with Button becoming his third new team mate in that time.

When Lewis Hamilton was asked about the move he said,
“I already know Jenson, and we get on very well together,” he said. “We both really want our team to succeed. Although we’ll be pushing each other hard, I’m sure we’ll very quickly establish a great working relationship. He’s an exceptional driver: very controlled and very smooth, and he has a real depth of knowledge and experience.

“I think we’ll complement each other very well, and our collaboration will make the team stronger as a result. Also, I’m delighted to be racing alongside a fellow British world champion, and I believe we can pull together to make Vodafone McLaren Mercedes the best team on the grid.”

So Ferrari and Mclaren are gonna be pretty hot next year hey?
