Lewis Hamilton has told Jenson Button his McLaren team will be a lot tougher to beat next season.
Hamilton, 24, revealed he is so excited about 2010 he wants to dump the four month break and start the new season now.

Far from being eager for a break after his punishing 2009 campaign, Hamilton wants to get 2010 underway as soon as possible.
“To be honest, I’m ready to go racing again next week,” he said.
“At the moment, I think I can safely say that I’m more in love with Formula 1 than I’ve ever been, and I just can’t wait to get back out there again!”
He believes he has improved more during 2009 than he did when fighting for titles in the previous two years.
“I’ve learnt a lot about effort, dedication, motivation: things that you almost take for granted when you are at the front, but which mean a lot more when you are fighting at the back,” said the former champion.
“I’ve grown as a man, and as a driver.
Hamilton reckons McLaren has also improved in adversity.
“We’ve known each other for one more season, and the physical bonds between us all are so much tighter – we’ve been through a lot together and we know each other a lot better.
“That’s something I really appreciate – and I think that will make us a better fighting unit next season.” ITV
