Button camp deny move talk

The Japanese car manufacturer were expected to pose a significant title challenge this year after a strong finish to the 2006 campaign, but they have failed to build on that success, leaving Button and team-mate Rubens Barrichello bitterly frustrated.
Yet Button's manager, Richard Goddard, maintains the 27-year-old has no intention of seeking pastures new, saying: "Jenson is still supporting Honda. Clearly, the team is not where it should be - but we're not going to jump ship."
Neither driver has so far finished in the top 10 in the opening three grands prix of this year in Australia, Malaysia and Bahrain.
Button finished 15th and 12th in Melbourne and Sepang, respectively, prior to an accident at Sakhir ending his race on the opening lap.
But Goddard added: "We're not shopping around and I'm not talking to anyone at the moment.
"There is no other team that can give us a better place to be."
Goddard, however, has indicated there are issues behind the scenes that have been part of the problem.
"A number of key technical personnel left last year and we have to make sure the team rebuilds in that area," added Goddard in Autosport.
"We can't afford to keep starting the season with a slow car."
