Speculation: was it always the plan to retain Button, or was Jota's hand forced by Hanson leaving? By all available metrics, Hanson has been the better driver, but if he already knew he wasn't in Jota's plans he may have jumped before he was pushed.

Having a personable F1 champion in the car is not a terrible idea from a PR perspective. And he's quick, always been smooth and kind to his cars, gets on with everyone...

He was the slowest Jota driver. In relative terms, this is false.


However, everything else does go for him and whatever reasons Jota had for keeping him are valid. His time in Super GT shows he is a fantastic teammate.



I'm more surprised that Hanson has been such a go-getter since leaving United. Good on him too, he's clearly impressed a number of people in the paddock.

Not seen enough of Hanson always thought he was a real hothead in LMP2 but seems to have calmed down a fair bit. Might be well backed too maybe? Dont know

Mobil1 deal with JOTA is tied to Jenson Button hence why he is still there

He may be quicker in the Cadillac, ya never know. I'm glad he's part of the team and this time it's a factory backed effort.

Ok then. He's quick enough otherwise they would have dropped him.

Absolutely fair. Button's season is akin to Lotterer post-Le Mans: slightly slower than his teammates, but quick enough, reliable and with a couple of key stints that contributed to good performances.

Iron Dames have confirmed their switch to Manthey for the 2025 WEC Season.

Driver line up is: Celia Martin, Rahel Frey and Michelle Gatting.

For some reason Bovy isn't mentioned even though she was previously.


Ryan Hardwick, Riccardo Pera and Richard Lietz will drive the second Manthey car in WEC and Asian Le Mans Series.

Having mostly French drivers in the team is a good thing for Alpine IMO.

Because of internal communication?

IMO for exposure a more international lineup is better.

Right. The reason why Matthieu Vaxivière is out could well be in Famin's words:"Nous avons sélectionné des talents non seulement rapides, mais aussi dotés d’une capacité d’analyse et d’un état d’esprit exemplaires." State of mind matter?
