Jenson Button believes Max Verstappen trumps rival Lewis Hamilton as the best driver based on ‘raw talent’ in Formula One history. However, Button – who won the 2009 world championship with Brawn – believes his former McLaren team-mate does not match up to Red Bull’s Verstappen for raw talent, but conceded Hamilton is a more complete driver. Speaking ahead of last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, Button, 41, said: ‘He’s (Verstappen) immensely talented. For raw talent, he’s probably the most talented [in history]. Hamilton and Button meanwhile were team-mates for a few seasons between 2010 and 2012 before the former’s move to Mercedes.
