Button hints at staying back with Brawn

Ferrari and McLaren are going to be competitive next season,but I dont think they are suddenly going to be stronger than Red Bull and Brawn, The Telegraph quoted Button,as saying.

I think there is going to be a big battle at the front,which will be a new thing for all of us. Four teams and eight drivers fighting it out at the front has never happened before, he added.

Buttons camp is demanding a huge rise in the world champions wages after he took a voluntary cut at the beginning of the season to stay on with the team in the wake of Hondas departure.

Button,who will now compete in the Race of Champions at Beijings Birds Nest stadium,said that he was going to relax before deciding on his future.

I am going to go and enjoy myself with the team tonight,so well see how I go in China on Tuesday and Wednesday. And then Im heading to Japan to spend some time there with my girlfriend. Then Ill start thinking about next year. Im looking forward to the new challenge.
