Speaking to reporters in Germany, Button said, “From what I’ve heard from the engineers at McLaren, he knows what he’s doing in terms of engineering and setting up the car. It’s good to have him back and the races will be more fun and obviously the evenings after the races will be more fun…”
Raikkonen drove for McLaren for five seasons, from 2002 until the end of 2006.
Button, like many in the sport, believed that raikkonen would return with Williams team and admits that the renault move took him by surprise.
“It was a shock to me that he’s going to be racing for the team he is,” said Button. “I was really surprised when they announced Kimi. I thought he had a chance at Williams,” said the 2009 F1 world champion.
“I think it’s really good for the sport. As a driver, he’s very, very competitive. If he really wants to race, he’s going to be quick,” said Button
