First pairing of two British world champions in the same team since Jim Clark and Graham Hill in 1968!
Could be a mouthwatering prospect but much as I admire Jenson, I think he's going to have his work cut out against Lewis Hamilton. :-/

should be interesting (for a while anyway)very different driving styles -Button is VERY smooth,rather like Prost,deceptively fast.Hamilton is all gung ho,a bit like Mansell.Like Jaime I think Hamilton is hungrier (or has a bigger ego ?) and if I had to put my money on one of them it would be him,but you never know.
If there are less tyre changes next year (no re-fuelling remember) Button could end up doing better as his driving style is much easier on the tyres. ;)
