Button: Racing in other series will help Max to distract himself.
World Champion of 2009 Jenson Button believes that Max Verstappen's participation in endurance racing will not change his opinion on the current Formula 1 rules, but will allow him to take a break…
Jenson Button: “There are many different types of motorsport in the world. In tennis, there aren’t that many options, but in motorsport, everyone can find something they love.
Throughout his career, Max has been overtaking and winning; now he misses that. But recently he drove a Super GT car in pouring rain at Fuji. I drove those cars myself in 2018 and 2019 – they are incredibly good. He can try everything possible, and I think that’s really great!
I don’t think this will change his current attitude towards Formula 1. It will only change when he starts winning again. But other series will help him take a break – he still has the opportunity to win races there.”
