2009 world champion Jenson Button says he was inspired to produce the best performances of his Formula One career when racing against Lewis Hamilton at McLaren.

Button and Hamilton were partnered at McLaren between 2010 and 2012, with Button managing to out-score his fellow countryman on points across their three-year spell as teammates, a feat he shares with only one other driver, after Nico Rosberg pipped Hamilton to the title in 2016.
