But while in London to promote the book, Button said he now just hopes to remain friends with Brawn, 55. Button told BBC's Five Live radio that he switched to become Lewis Hamilton's new teammate for the challenge. "I am actually earning less than I would have been at Brawn so it's not about the money. It's because it's something new," said the Briton, whose retainer is about half the size of his countryman teammate's. He explained to Reuters Television that after winning the championship, "I thought 'so, what happens now? Where do I go from here?'. "I've been very comfortable within that (Brawn) team and it (moving to McLaren) is taking me outside of my comfort zone. That's why I am doing it. "I'm not going because it's going to be easy, I'm going because it's going to be tough," added Button.
