Button revealed he couldn’t wait to start his new job back in 2017: „I enjoyed working with the Sky team at Silverstone and bringing in different views. I don’t mind being outspoken, which is good. Next year promises to be an exciting year in Formula One. There are a lot of changes and I love the idea of Charles Leclerc going up alongside Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari.“
