Hill advises Button

After having to reduce his salary at the start of the year following the withdrawal of Honda, Jenson Button, brand new World Champion, would like to find a salary worthy of his status in 2010. The Briton earned 3 million pounds ( 3,3 million euros) this season instead of the 8 million (8,9 million euros) he received at Honda. However, his compatriot Damon Hill advises him to favor a competitive car over money.

« I hope for him that he will have a competitive car next year and that he will earn a decent living to fight for the championship because he deserves it. "Hill told Sky Sports. “ The environment is also important because in a few years, when he looks back on his career, he will look at the results he obtained and not the money he earned. »

« There are other ways to earn money as a pilot but it's not like golf where the best earn the most. It is more complicated than that ", he added.
