Button only joined the Woking-based team at the start of this year after
|
|
switching from Brawn GP following his title-winning 2009 campaign, and
|
|
Hamilton is confident having his fellow Briton to share the development of the
|
|
new car will only enhance its performance.
|
|
|
|
''I think Jenson will be have a very positive influence on our development
|
|
over the winter so that we can start testing the new car very aggressively
|
|
when testing resumes in February,'' said Hamilton.
|
|
|
|
''Obviously, our 2010 car was quite a significant update of our '09 car, but
|
|
now I think we have a very good baseline from which to evolve this car into
|
|
2011.
|
|
|
|
''We learned a lot as a team this year - we had a very positive atmosphere
|
|
within the organisation from the start of the year, and we only built on that
|
|
during the season.
|
|
|
|
''Jenson's arrival made us a stronger team and I think our joint input helped
|
|
us to stay in the hunt until the very end.

''I know that we already have our eye on both titles in 2011.''
|
|
|
|
Hamilton insists he has no regrets over his failure to land a second drivers'
|
|
crown after heading into the final race in Abu Dhabi as one of four drivers
|
|
with a chance of winning the title.
|
|
|
|
''My non-finishes at Monza and Singapore didn't help my momentum, but that was
|
|
also true of my mechanical retirements in Spain and Hungary,'' he said.
|
|
|
|
''Overall, I don't think it's worthwhile to look at the 'what ifs' of a
|
|
season, because every driver has moments when he could have done better, or
|
|
would have done something different, so you just have to accept what you have
|
|
and make the best of it.
|
|
|
|
''I come away from this season having learned and developed as a driver - and
|
|
I think that will stand us in good stead for next season.''
|
|
|
|
Button, who finished fifth in the drivers' standings this year as Red Bull's
|
|
Sebastian Vettel assumed the mantle of world champion, echoed his team-mate's
|
|
view that the team would benefit from a settled line-up heading into the new
|
|
campaign, which begins in Bahrain in March.
|
|
|
|
''It will be a good opportunity to get even more integrated with the team.
|
|
It's weird, because it will actually only be my first full winter at
|
|
[**McLaren**][8] Mercedes, because I only started working here in January this
|
|
year,'' he said.
|
|
|
|
''There's lot I think we can do to make this team stronger and better for the
|
|
new season.
|
|
|
|
''We've got a year's worth of experience under our belts, we've pushed hard
|
|
all season, and I think we can take that all away and learn from it over the
|
|
winter.''
