Formula One champion Jenson Button admits he took a pay cut to join last year’s winner Lewis Hamilton at McLaren, but adds he left Brawn for a new challenge.

A day after the move was revealed, Button said on Thursday it would be strange being a rival to Brawn after seven years with the team. “I am actually earning less than I would have been at Brawn so it’s not about the money and everybody involved knows that is not the case. It’s because it’s something new,” Button told BBC Radio. After a long spell with Brawn, Button said he was sad to leave the team but happy to join fellow British driver Hamilton, even though they will remain rivals. “I knew it would be a challenge to go up against Lewis in his environment and my goal since I was eight years old was to win the world championship and I’ve done that now and I feel in need of something else, a new challenge,” Button said.
