However, relations undoubtedly became strained this summer after he criticised
the team publicly and was admonished by president Luca di Montezemolo.
Button
has admitted he would find it “exciting” to work with Alonso,
although he claimed that he knew nothing about any approach.
“I think it would be quite exciting,” he said.”There are many
team-mates in Formula One who I would be excited about working with.
“There are certain team-mates, because of the way they work within a team and
the way they go racing is very interesting and you can learn from them.
“Even though I am 33-years-old and one of the oldest drivers on the grid, I
still feel as though there is a lot to learn.
“There are certain drivers you can learn more from than others and I think
that it can benefit any team who has two experienced drivers.”
Button said that his own contract with McLaren for 2014 was “not in doubt”.
