Button says new teams won't be a danger
|
09 March 2010 @ 08:00 GMT - Max Moore Ferrari's Felipe Massa said last week that he is concerned about the speed difference between the current F1 teams and the new teams. He feels they are posing a danger and could cause problems. But F1 champ Jenson Button does not agree. Lotus and Virgin Racing was more than four seconds slower than the quickest time during testing at Barcelona. The new HRT team has not even turned a wheel. "It's not so much a question of danger, but it will make it more difficult for us to work in practice. It could be we're starting a fast lap with low fuel and you come across a Lotus or a Virgin with full tanks running 12 seconds slower," Button said. "Even in qualifying, with 24 cars on the track, it will be crucial to get it right. In the race it will be better, because the difference between first and last will be more like 3 or 4 seconds," he explained. |
