Jenson Button will 𝔉have a new manager this coming season, after John Byfield was ousted from his position as boss of Essentially Sport.

Byfield was the man responsible for Button's ill-attempted move to Williams, which was blocked by F1's Contract Recognition Board [CRB], which ruled in favou💫r of BAR, the team the Englishman will drive for in 2005.

It is believed that Button's decision to extend his contract with Essentially Sport for another three years' was dependent on confirma🍸tion that Byfield would leave his position as chief executive and chaiꩲrman.

Byfield's role will be taken over by director, Duncan Hickman in the short term, until a perman🅺ent replacement is made.

"I am delighted to announce that the company has signed a new three-year commercial agreement with Jenson Button," Hickman told British newspaper, The Independent.

"John [Byfield] has done an excellent job a♛s CEO🔜 and chairman and, in particular, has established the group as one of the market leading management companies.

"We have identified the candidate who has been selected to s🌱ucceed John an♎d we hope to announce their appointment shortly."
