LEWIS HAMILTON and Jenson Button swapped jokes in a public show of unity as they attended F1 team McLaren's unveiling of their car for the 2010 season.
The two drivers were impressed with the look of the new MP4-25 but admitted they would not really know whether they have a car capable of winning the world championship until testing gets underway.Button and Hamilton have teamed up at McLaren in the first pairing of drivers' champions since Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost raced for the same team in 1989.
Button's car will have the number one on it in recognition of his current status as world champion, but there is little doubt that Hamilton remains top dog at the team. According to media reports, his annual salary of around £12m is twice as much as Button is earning.
Although world champions have raced together before, Hamilton and Button represents the first time a team has started a new season with the two most recent winners.AFP
