Button tips Hamilton to be 'back to his best' in 2026

Former F1 World Champion Jenson Button is confidently backing his former McLaren teammate, Lewis Hamilton, to return to his peak form in the 2026 season with Ferrari. Button admitted it was challenging to witness Hamilton's tough debut year at Ferrari in 2025, a season where the seven-time champion, for the first time in his F1 career, did not secure a Grand Prix podium.With significant new regulations set to arrive for 2026, providing a crucial reset, Button believes Hamilton's direct input into the car's design will be instrumental. He expressed full confidence that Hamilton, despite being 41, still has a bright future in the sport and is poised to deliver stronger results, potentially even securing a record-breaking eighth title with the Scuderia.
