Formula 1 - Button: No change to F1 with new tyre rules

Jenson Button believes the decision to offer greater freedom for tyre choice in 2016 will make little difference because Formula 1 teams will ultimately converge on the same options.

Teams will choose which two of the compounds they would like to use in advance of the event and these will remain secret until two weeks before a race.

But Button said: "Everyone will use the same tyres 

"Unless they have a massive issue with one tyre, everyone will use the same tyres. They have limited it. .
