Despite Mercedes inability 🅠to give him a race-winning car since the introduction of the new regulations last year, Hamilton has remained motivated to stay in F1.

Button - who was Hamilton’s teamm🎉ate for three years at McLaren - sees his future at Mercedes, particularly as the other top teams have their line ups sorted.

“Well, he’s loyal, but I also don’t think he’s got 🐻the options that he would want,” Button told Sky Sports during the Miami Grand Prix weekend.

“I don’t really think he would have the option at Red Bul𒊎l – I don♍’t think he would be the right fit alongside Max [Verstappen].

“I don’t think he’d be⛦ at Ferrari. Aston Martin? Definitely won’t be going to Aston Martin, they’ve got two seats that are going to be filled there for a little while.”

“I think his future will be at Mercedes but he is also a loyal character and i🌼t’s good to see him going throu🧔gh some tough times with that team.

“I think they will come out the other side together. You know, it’s a rollercoaster in F1, especially when you’ve been on top for that♍ long, there’s going to be a dip. 

“But if you can stay with that team, they will rise to the top again, and he’s no♋t going to retire.”
