F1, Jenson Button hopes: ‘I would love Alonso in Mercedes’
The 2009 World Champion understands the appeal of the Cavallino
.
By now, it's all anyone talks about. The "marriage" between the Rossa and Hamilton has generated a media frenzy. This is something huge and sensational, destined to change Formula 1 itself. Button, a former driver, commented as follows on the Briton’s choice to leave Mercedes for the Cavallino: "As a child you always dream of wearing Ferrari red, for him it will be" special", his words to Sky Sports.
"It's a great challenge to do something like this, especially when you have been in a stable (Mercedes, ed.) for soì long", added the 2009 World Champion himself. But who will take Hamilton’s place at Mercedes alongside Russell? Several names are already being made, such as that of the predestined Antonelli, but Button has his own hope.
"I admit I have a kind of crush on my former teammate, but I would love to see Alonso with Russell. He’s 42 years old, but he’s still so hungry and he drives every day like he’s in a kart. If he arrives, he and Russell will be a good couple and work well together", statements from Button himself. In short, much anticipation to find out when the mystery will be revealed. Mercedes should not wait long to make Hamilton’s replacement official.
