Official: Button joins McLaren
Formula One world champion Jenson Button has joined McLaren on a multi-year deal, the team said in a statement today.
The 29-year-old, who won his title with Brawn GP, will partner compatriot Lewis Hamilton next season in all-British line-up of champions.
It will be the first time that a team has both the champion and his immediate predecessor as its drivers.
The two Britons are said to get along well and have promised to help each other develop a competitive car.

Now that Mosley is out of the way, the FIA should get its' rules right before the season starts and not halfway through. Ferrari lose championships very rarely and usually not on the track. When Ferrari were breaking records, the rules were being changed on a weekly basis, to give the English teams on outside chance. Last year's unclear rules were like asking some teams to race on three wheels.

Two English world champions in the same team! Wow! Looks like another dismal year for Ferrari next year!
