Button blasts back at ‘bitter’ Briatore after Italian’s angry rant

JENSON BUTTON has hit back at Flavio Briatore after the Renault boss questioned the Briton’s talent during his scathing attack on the credibility of Formula One in the wake of the diffuser row.

Button topped the timesheets in the second session of free practice yesterday as he looks to complete a hat-trick of victories at this weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.

His Brawn GP began the season with the controversial “double-decker” diffuser that has helped Button to victories in Australia and Malaysia.
