The Bio

Jenson Button grew up in the sport, maturing from a carefree youngster distracted by having too much too soon into a seasoned survivor who toiled in obscurity for a decade before his perseverance suddenly paid off in a fairy-tale finish with a team that came from nowhere.

His unexpected title triumph was partly the product of circumstances that prevented other contenders from overcoming his sensational head start, but ultimately it was the 2009 World Champion’s talent and tenacity that took him to the top. Famously smooth behind the wheel, the Somerset man was one of the very best in tricky, mixed weather conditions, as shown by his astonishing comeback victory at the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix.
