Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are the driver pairing that could stand out when they battle Mercedes this year, Jenson Button has predicted.
Lewis Hamilton has received praise from his former teammate Jenson Button, who believes he is performing even better now than he was a few years ago. Despite George Russell gaining an edge over Hamilton in 2022, the seven-time world champion outperformed him last season. Button considers McLaren to be the team that Mercedes should watch out for, as they have a strong lineup of drivers. With a year of experience under his belt, Oscar Piastri is expected to show more consistency and push McLaren forward in the 2024 season. Lando Norris, who finished sixth in the 2023 F1 standings, had a successful year with seven podium finishes and McLaren is focused on advancing this year to battle against Red Bull, Ferrari, and Aston Martin.
