Kovalainen will push Hamilton - Button

Kovalainen will push Hamilton - Button

17 December 2007

Jenson Button says Lewis Hamilton shouldn't expect an easy ride from new team mate Heikki Kovalainen when the two drive for McLaren in 2008. Kovalainen was confirmed as Fernando Alonso's replacement at the end of last week.

"I'm sure Kovalainen is not interested in just finishing a few races in front, I'm sure he wants to go for the title," Button told Reuters. "He won't hold back just because he's got Lewis as a team mate. I think it's good for both of them."

"He's a great guy and deserves to stay in a team," Button added about Kovalainen. "Having him not racing in F1 would be wrong. It's great that he's got a drive."
