No morale issues at McLaren as Button targets Monza win

Jenson Button believes McLaren proved morale is high within the team after setting the pace in practice for tomorrow’s Italian Grand Prix.

Despite the media attention focused on McLaren, in particular on team-mate Lewis Hamilton, the Woking-based marque conjured a one-two in the second 90-minute session.

Hamilton, in the spotlight as he mulls over whether to stay with McLaren or end his 14-year association with the team and join Mercedes, was quickest with a lap of one minute 25.290secs.
