McLaren's Jenson Button has praised his former team mate Lewis Hamilton saying that the 2008 world champion will be 'unbeatable this season as long as his head is in the right place.' Hamilton has done a fantastic job to close the gap in the championship from 29 point's to just four as Formula One gets ready to head to the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim next weekend.
Speaking to TalkSport Breakfast Button spoke about his 2014 season Button said that it has been a tough season and although the world championship is out of the question he feels that race wins could be on the cards later in the season as the Woking based outfit continue to improve the car.
At the British Grand Prix last weekend, Button started the race from third place on the grid and went on to finish the race in fourth place to pick up 12 point's for the Woking based outfit. McLaren also have the advantage of the Mercedes power unit which is currently the strongest engine on the grid. The Woking based outfit will be hoping to continue their good run at the next race in Germany.
The team may be down in 6th place in the championship but they are in a very tight battle with Sahara Force India and Williams Martini Racing as they are just 16 point's behind Ferrari who are currently in third place in the Constructors championship.
Button also feels that the upgrades that the team will have for the German Grand Prix will enable them to be very competitive at the Hockeheimring.
