F1: Hamilton struggled to adjust when I joined McLaren, says Button

Jenson Button says Lewis Hamilton was "a bit weird" when they were Formula 1 teammates at McLaren and struggled to adjust with another big name in the team.

Jenson Button believes Lewis Hamilton struggled to adjust to having another big-name driver as a Formula 1 teammate when he joined McLaren in 2010, saying: "I don't think that I was to his taste."

Off the back of his F1 world title win in 2009 with Brawn, Button moved to McLaren for 2010 to partner Hamilton, who had been working with Heikki Kovalainen for the two years prior.

Hamilton and Button experienced a number of tense moments during their three seasons together at McLaren, with the pair nearly coming to blows at the 2010 Turkish Grand Prix and also entering a spat on social media after Hamilton shared data from his teammate's car publicly.
