It has emerged that World Champion Jenson Button has taken legal action against former team Brawn GP - now Mercedes GP - as the Brackley outfit was not set to present him with one of last year's title-winning cars, despite his contact claiming that it must after he picked up the crown.
With Button having claimed the title with Ross Brawn's team before switching to McLaren for 2010, The Mail on Sunday has reported that the Englishman's Brawn contract stated that one chassis from 2009 should have been presented to the Frome man after collecting the honours.
However, the team is believed to have not done so initially, due to a shortage of chassis, although legal proceedings between Button's company JB Next BV and Mercedes GP are now believed to have reached an end.
"We have arrived at an amicable resolution and so there will no longer be any court action over this," a spokesperson for Button is quoted as saying by the British newspaper, with a BGP 001 chassis - estimated to be worth approximately 1 million pounds - now set to be sent to the Champion.
