Fernando Alonso has hinted that he would like Jenson Button to remain his team mate next year.
The British driver, whose contract is up at the end of the year, has been linked with a move to Williams or an exit from the sport entirely to make way for highly-rated youngster Stoffel Vandoorne, but Alonso told Brazil's UOL Esporte that he is happy with the way the two world champions work together.
"Last year it was difficult to have many races when we had the same conditions," Alonso said, "because we always had some engine problems."I think we used 11 or 12 engines in the season. This year is a bit fairer, and yes, he is fast.".
"He (Button) has experience and I think we are very good at working together in terms of helping Honda, especially on the power unit side with the experience Jenson had with Mercedes in 2014 and myself with Ferrari," he added. "So I think we both have a lot of input to give."
