In much the same vein, Jenson Button’s decision to hang up his helmet also looks like a timely call. He’s had arguably the toughest team mate in the pit lane to measure himself against this season and the contest has been rather one-sided.
Last year’s McLaren broke down so often it was hard to read too much into how well its drivers performed. Button had a slight edge over Fernando Alonso on results.
This year Alonso ended the season with more than twice as many points as his team mate. Following his performance alongside Kimi Raikkonen in 2014, Alonso’s record against world champions who have the same equipment of him is underlining his status as one of the sport’s greats even if he isn’t getting the victories which should go along with it.
