Ahead of his fifth season at McLaren, 2009 World Champion Jenson Button looks ahead to the challenges that await in the new campaign.

Finally, how does it feel having a new team-mate alongside you?
JB: "I haven't really got to know Kevin properly as a team-mate yet. Over the winter, there aren't too many opportunities for us to spend time together, but that will change once we go testing - we'll be working very closely together to share data and gather as much information as we can about what the car's doing, and how we can improve it. "But, yeah, I've been very impressed by Kevin all along - he clearly did a very good job last year and drove superbly to win the World Series by Renault championship. And I've been pleased by his professionalism and determination this year - it's a very difficult job for any driver in F1 this year, but I'm absolutely sure he'll do a great job." Source: McLaren
