“The issue ꦆis,ღ you have to beat the best to be a world champion,” Button told Sky.

“That was the thing for me when I left Brawn, I had to go to McLaren because I needed to race against෴ Lewis Hamilton who was regarded a🦩s the best.

“That’s what he’s got to decide.

“If he’s clever he’l𓄧l decide on a car that su🧔its his style.

“We’ve seꦚen that the Red B꧟ull doesn’t suit a lot of drivers, apart from Max.

It’s not an easy decision for him.

“He’s not in a car that cไan win right now, and it probably won’t next year either, I don’t think.

“He’s got to look elsewhere for 2025 or he 💛puts his trust in McLaren.

“They’v꧒e won races, they’ve won championships, it can come 🧸back around.

“As long as he can see the fu꧒ture, see that they’re in a good place as a team, and it gives him confidence, stay there! 

“If not, go and fight Max Verstappen in his own team - but that’s a hard one.๊”

Verstappen is on the cusp of a third consecutive F1 championship and is building 🌠a legacy which is already being compared to Hamilton’s and Michael Schumacher’s.

His Adrian Newey-desig🔜ned car🌳 is perfectly tailored to him, but Red Bull have seen many other talented drivers come and go as they fail to keep pace with Verstappen.

Sergio Perez remains under intense pressu🧜re and his🔴 contract runs through next year, potentially opening a coveted spot for 2025.
