On the eve of the Monaco Grand Prix, British racing legend Sir Stirling Moss has given his verdict on the sport's current Brit pack – and it makes bleak reading if your name happens to be Jenson Button.

“I think we've got to realise David is never going to win a race again,” the 77-year-old said. “That's terribly unlikely, but he is still doing a good job and if he is prepared to settle for that then there's no doubt that car is only going to improve with the talent they've got working on it in the shape of Adrian Newey and so forth.

“I don't see why he shouldn't go on longer. Fangio didn't retire until he was 47, and I certainly had no intention of stopping until I was 50 but I had my bad crash. Otherwise I would have carried on much longer.

“It's unfortunate for Anthony that he has entered in a year when there's this other British guy who has also come in out of the blue – that makes it very difficult for people to be as excited about him as maybe they should be. He is doing a very good job, though, and long may that continue.”
