Former world champion Button, who now works in an advisory role with Williams, told Sky: “I obviously woꦿrk with Wi꧑lliams and know what they have coming, what is changing with the team and what has changed with the team.

“It’s a really exciti🍒ng prospect working with a team and developing a car around you and the way you like to drive it. I’m one of those people, like Daniel, that wants a car that suits my style. It would be the perfect scenario, I think.”

Ricc🤪iar🅰do has been outperformed by McLaren teammate Lando Norris this season.

Williams have Alex Albon contracted beyond the end of 202🧔2, but Ni𒅌cholas Latifi is fighting to extend his deal which is set to expire after this season.

“Leading a team and beating your teamma🐭te in a car that is not so competitive is much better than being in a team where you’re not so competitive against your teammate,” Button said.

“Mentally, that is so tough. If it has🐽 the right backing and the right people, you should 100 per cent go for the opportunit🅘y. 

“For h൩im, driving at somewhere like Williams or another team, I think is the right thing for him to do.”

Ricciardo is currently the joint-fifth 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:highest-earning F1 driver in 2022, pocketing a reported £12.2m. Williams pair Albon and Latifi each earn below £1.7m so funding the more expensive Ricciardo coul🅘d be a hurdle.
