McLaren's decision to keep on Jenson Button to partner Fernando Alonso next year is the right one.
During my time on the Formula 1 pitwall, I usually found that young, hungry chargers such as Rubens Barrichello, Eddie Irvine, Ralf Schumacher and Giancarlo Fisichella came up with the goods.
But, given McLaren's need to get the new Honda power unit working, it makes sense to keep on Button, who after all has a lot of experience working with the Japanese during his Honda days. He will be the first to tell you that the Japanese way of doing things can be different.
