Jenson Button has changed a lot due to F1 success: Tamara Ecclestone

Aug 21, 1:25 pm

London, Aug 21 (ANI): Tamara Ecclestone has revealed that although Jenson Button is a likeable guy, fame has got into his head and changed him enormously.

The 27-year-old TV personality also said that the F1 driver didn't even deserve to be the world champion as he is not the world's best.

According to the elder daughter of F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, Lewis Hamilton is far better and a nicer person too.

"I was conducting an interview with him in 2009 and he broke it off to take a call on his mobile. To me, that's the height of bad manners," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

"He seems to have changed enormously as a person on the back of his F1 success. I don't even think he deserved to be world champion. There's no way he'd have won in 2009 if everyone had been driving similar cars.

"Quite simply, there's no way he's the best F1 driver. Lewis Hamilton is a far better driver and a nicer person," she added. (ANI)
