Quote:
Renault's Jenson Button has hit back at Eddie Irvine after the Jaguar driver branded the 21-year-old the 'weakest link.'
The Brit told the News of the World: "He's had a go at me for my performances but we [Benetton-Renault] finished ahead of him [Jaguar] in the world championship."
"He's going grey and it can't be doing his heart any good to have a go at everyone. And I don't know how much longer he is going to be in Formula 1 - he's 36 now. He's getting on and everything must be a steeper climb for him now."
Button added: "We are all used to Eddie saying anything he likes about other drivers, but it doesn't affect me one little bit."
"I don't take it personally when Eddie says these things. Eddie is the way he is. I find it funny and I don't let it get to me. He's a character. In fact, I can just laugh at it. He should be a comedian."
"[True] 2001 was not a good year for me or the team but we are working hard to change that this year."
