Reigning Formula One world champion Jenson Button has launched a fierce attack on plans to allow team orders in the sport.
Button has warned that he could walk away from F1 if teams are allowed to fix races in favor of one driver from next season.
I am against team orders and I dont think they are correct in any way. If it becomes legal and allowed,I wont be very happy. For me,its not the way it should be, The Sun quoted Button,as saying.
If team orders come in then Ill consider my future. I wouldnt stop right away,but Id definitely shorten my career in F1, he added.
The 30-year-old further said that he would never want to win the title by ordering a teammate to move over.
I dont understand why anyone would want to race in those circumstances – unless you are here for other reasons than I am. Im here because Im passionate about the sport and want to win. I want to beat every driver out there, Button said.
But if you are here for other reasons,maybe you dont mind moving over for your team-mate. Ive been racing for 10 years and never been told to move over and neither have my teammates, he added.
