Ferrari habit 'crazy'
Button supports testing limit

(GMM -- Dec.31) Jenson Button is supportive of the majority F1 teams' push to limit non-grand prix track testing.

The BAR-driving Briton said the amount of money thrown at the habit by world constructors' champion Ferrari 'is crazy.'

Button told Autosport: ''(Ferrari) test virtually every day -- there has to be a limit.''

Earlier, every team - with the notable exception of the Italian one coloured in scarlet - agreed to a 24-day limit for 2005 and beyond. It is believed, however, that BAR's engine partner, Honda, also baulked at the low number.

25-year-old Button agrees that each team needs between '35 to 40' days per in-season.
