Button hopes that Barrichello stays with Honda because the team needs his experience for the next season. The team has indeed confirmed Jenson Button to drive the RA109 next year, but the second driver has not yet been announced. Barrichello is thus at risk.
During the next testing session in Barcelona, the two young talents Bruno Senna and Lucas Di Grassi will undoubtedly be present with the intention of securing the second seat alongside Jenson Button for 2009. The same Jenson Button who has stated to the Reuters news agency his desire to encourage Honda to keep Barrichello as the second driver…
They need significant feedback and I don’t think by hiring a young driver they will get that – In general, I like to have an experienced teammate because we can then provide a lot of information.
« Furthermore, there are many things that will change next year and we don’t have the right to many private tests. The test drivers will not work much anymore because our mileage will be very limited, » adds Button.
What will be the choice at Honda, the wisdom of experience or the fervor of youth?
