Button backs Webber over handling of Porsche news
While his own team boss is angry with Mark Webber, Jenson Button has backed the Australian for the manner in which his F1 retirement announcement was handled.
Webber caught Red Bull boss Christian Horner off guard on Thursday morning when the 36-year-old driver gave him only an hour's notice before Porsche announced Webber is heading back to Le Mans in 2014 and beyond.
Horner admitted he was "disappointed" with the handling of the announcement.

"From what I have heard," Button is quoted by Sun newspaper, "Mark has done everything right."
