Button, maliciously courted

Jenson Button will never have heard as much about his salary as at the end of the season. It must be said that the Briton is at the end of his contract with Brawn and that certain teams could use this point to poach the world champion from the Brawnkley team. According to Ross Brawn, it is by using this technique that certain teams tried to destabilize the Briton this season in the title race.

« There were people, when they became aware of Jenson's contractual situation, who tried to destabilize him during the championship », Confided the director of the eponymous team. Warned, Ross Brawn confided that Jenson Button was not fooled. “ He knew that this tactic was used for such purposes. »

While the world champion has still not renewed his contract, Ross Brawn recognizes that his driver is coveted and received “ some offers ". In addition, the boss of the Brawn GP team confided that he would not communicate the name of the driver who will replace Rubens Barrichello until the situation of Jenson Button has been regularized.
