Button turns attention to regaining title next season

OUTGOING Formula One world champion Jenson Button is already burning with hunger to reclaim the title next year.

Button relinquished his crown on Sunday in Brazil when he could finish no higher than fifth, with the other four remaining contenders all ahead of him on the track. It means for the final time this season in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, Button will sport the number one on his McLaren following a debut year with the team he largely enjoyed, even if he feels he occasionally has let himself down.

“This has been a good season and a lot of stuff we’ve done this year we’ll gain a lot of experience for next season,” said Button. The car is good, but there are areas where we still need to improve, we know that, and it’s about making sure we do improve those areas for next year.”
