Button: I can’t see ace Lewis big race now

FORMULA 1

JENSON BUTTON believes Mercedes man Lewis Hamilton has the “upper hand” on Max Verstappen heading into their season finale in Abu Dhabi.

Hamilton, chasing a record eighth world title, is level on points with the Red Bull driver ahead of Sunday’s duel.

It’s the first time in 47 years the top two have been in this position before the last race and only the second time ever.

And Hamilton’s former McLaren team-mate and 2009 world champion Button said: “Every corner, every lap is going to be dissected.

“I can say who I think is going to win the championship and Lewis has the upper hand.”
