Webber: Button's Monaco return a 'non-story'

Former F1 driver Mark Webber has dubbed Jenson Button's participation at this year's Monaco Grand Prix as a "non-story".

Button will make his one-off return later this month in order to substitute for Fernando Alonso, who is taking part in this year's Indy 500. But with McLaren struggling to finish races, let alone score points or podiums, Webber sees Button's return as a non-event.

"It's a non-story," Webber was quoted by Crash.net. "That's a non-story, Jenson at Monaco. He goes out, has fuel pressure problems on practice one, qualifies 17th, race retires Lap 12. Whatever.
