10 March 2010 @ 04:13 GMT - Charles Cooper Lewis Hamilton says he suggested Jenson Button as his teammate because Button was the best driver available. He feels Button will contribute a lot to the team and he want McLaren to win the title. The McLaren driver says he needs a serious driver to push him forward. "I want the best team I can possibly have to score the points alongside me. When he's winning I've got to be finishing second, and when I'm winning he's got to be finishing second," he said. "I need a team. I can't win the constructors' championship on my own, so I need to have as strong a team-mate as possible. You want someone to push you. I had Fernando pushing me in 2007, and at certain points in the year in 2008, I had Heikki pushing me," he said. Hamilton reckons he will have a tough time beating his teammate this season. "I've no doubts this year Jenson is going to be hard to beat. His results last year speak for themselves," he said. |
