Mar.3 (GMM) While USF1 is interested in hiring Rubens Barrichello next year, the Brazilian veteran's 2008 Honda teammate Jenson Button is not as attractive a prospect to the new American team, principal Peter Windsor has admitted.
Briton Windsor, a former F1 team manager and now well-known reporter and broadcaster, admitted last week that 36-year-old Barrichello's vast experience would be ideal for USF1 in the team's initial start-up phase.Given the uncertainty surrounding Honda's team survival, the career of Button is similarly in doubt, but Windsor said the 29-year-old Englishman would not fit with USF1's aims."You can't imagine Jenson in a start-up team, driving at 100 per cent knowing that the best he's going to qualify is 14th -- which would be good for us -- and finishing maybe 10th on a good day," Windsor is quoted as saying."Jenson would want more than that and it would be very difficult working with somebody like that."
