World champion Button joins McLaren F1 team

World champion race driver Jenson Button has joined the McLaren Formula One team, McLaren announced Wednesday.

The jump to powerhouse McLaren - already the home of previous world champion Lewis Hamilton - creates the first team to start a season with the two previous world champions racing together, McLaren said.

British media reports said the deal was worth $30 million over three years.

Both Button, 29, and Hamilton, 24, are British.

Button visited McLaren headquarters earlier this month as he was being lured to the team, he said in a statement Wednesday.
