Jenson Button

<h2 id="early-life-and-education">Early life and education</h2>
Button was born on 19 January 1980 in <a href="/facts/Frome/9bcId4XF">Frome</a>, Somerset and brought up in nearby <a href="/facts/Mells%2c_Somerset/KYcaLVoI">Vobster, Mells</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1">1</a> He is the fourth child of the half-South African Simone Lyons and former <a href="/facts/Rallycross/rvSpN0XY">rallycross</a> driver <a href="/facts/John_Button_(racing_driver)/SxMd8l6w">John Button</a> from <a href="/facts/East_End_of_London/20qrEv2Q">London's East End</a>, who was well known in the United Kingdom during most of the 1970s for racing his <a href="/facts/Volkswagen_Type_1/6wCVPMdJ">Volkswagen Type 1</a>, which was nicknamed the Colorado Beetle.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2">2</a> Jenson's parents met in <a href="/facts/Newquay/f3J54UVx">Newquay</a> at a young age and were reunited after a musical concert at <a href="/facts/Longleat/bKRXPonr">Longleat</a>. According to John, Jenson was named after his Danish friend and rallycross opponent Erling Jensen, changing the "e" to an "o" to differentiate it from <a href="/facts/Jensen_Motors/AQnpXk63">Jensen Motors</a>, while Simone recalls that she named him Jenson after noticing a Jensen sports car and thought the change of spelling would be "more mannish".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3">3</a>
Button enjoyed racing from an early age, racing a <a href="/facts/BMX_bike/UrRqsN75">BMX bike</a> with friends after school,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a> and began watching <a href="/facts/Formula_One/BwdePyWY">Formula One</a> (F1) motor racing with his father around the age of five or six. He idolised four-time world champion <a href="/facts/Alain_Prost/HSqWHU7p">Alain Prost</a> for his calm personality and intellectual approach to driving.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a> After his parents divorced when he was seven, he and his three elder sisters were brought up by their mother in Frome.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> Button was educated at Vallis First School, Selwood Middle School and <a href="/facts/Frome_Community_College/Xfwu2Fzz">Frome Community College</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> His karting career limited his studying and he left school with one <a href="/facts/General_Certificate_of_Secondary_Education/ET4h88cb">GCSE</a>. Button failed his first driving test for driving between two cars on a narrow road.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a>

<h2 id="karting-career">Karting career</h2>
Button's father gave him a 50cc bike for his seventh birthday; he discarded it after half an hour because it lacked speed, which would have required his father to remove its <a href="/facts/Restrictor_plate/XzgC4n44">restrictor</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> and he disliked his father's idea of progressing to the 80cc category. John talked to rallycross driver and Ripspeed car accessories owner Keith Ripp at an <a href="/facts/Earl%2527s_Court/gz4N2aIn">Earl's Court</a> racing car show about his son; Ripp recommended the purchase of a Zip <a href="/facts/Go-kart/RLwb8GBM">go-kart</a> suited for the newly formed Cadets class for eight to twelve year-old karters for the young boy. Button received the kart as a Christmas present in 1987 and he began <a href="/facts/Kart_racing/bYyC422T">karting</a> at the Clay Pigeon Raceway in May 1988 aged eight following repeated questions by club members to his father on when Button would start racing.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>

He was required to drive on <a href="/facts/Racing_slick/TCxJg5q8">slick tyres</a> on a wet track because his father wanted him to learn car control on a sodden surface and taught him basic driving techniques by standing at a corner and pointing to where his son should brake.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> In 1989, aged nine, Button won the British Super Prix.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> Midway through the year, his father spoke to him about progressing to the club level since others noticed he was competitive, which Button was interested in.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> He won all 34 races of the 1991 British Cadet Kart Championship and the title with team Wright Karts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> Afterwards Button told his father his objective was to compete in F1 and he was given a map to chart his progress in karting. The two agreed to give each other more autonomy and Button was mentored by mechanic Dave Spencer in moving from the Cadets to Juniors class. Spencer told him to be more aggressive and less smooth driving Junior karts because they have more power than a Cadet kart. Button was also required to manage the condition of his tyres to retain <a href="/facts/Grip_(auto_racing)/u4XQvRet">grip</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a>
Further successes followed, including three British Open Kart Championship wins.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> A series of sub-par performances in 1992 gave Button doubts over his ability to win races and he told his father he wanted to continue racing after dismissing the suggestion of two months away from karting. The family telephoned Spencer for advice; he and Button's father constructed the young boy's karts and influenced his school headteacher to change his fitness regime and had to eschew unhealthy beverages.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> Spencer helped him to observe and concentrate on how others drove their karts, and continued to coach Button until his youngest son Danny died in a multi-kart accident at the Hunts Kart Racing Club in <a href="/facts/Kimbolton%2c_Cambridgeshire/Lkz2oHBr">Kimbolton, Cambridgeshire</a> in December 1994.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a>
Button was fourth in the 1994 RAC British Junior Championship after losing the opportunity to claim the title through a series of accidents. He joined the Birel team for that year's Junior Intercontinental A European Championship and raced as a professional in the Junior Intercontinental A Italian Winter Championship.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a> He was the youngest runner-up of the <a href="/facts/Karting_World_Championship/HW3Jllax">Formula A World Championship</a> at age 15.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a> Button was signed to drive Tecno-Rotax karts for Team GKS, coming fifth in the 1996 European Formula A Championship, third in the Formula A World Cup,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a> and third in the American Championship.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> In 1997, he was moved to the top-level of karting Formula Super A by his team.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a> Button won the <a href="/facts/Ayrton_Senna/9HBINjgm">Ayrton Senna Memorial Cup</a> for finishing second in the 1997 Japanese World Cup,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> and became the youngest driver and first Briton to claim the <a href="/facts/CIK-FIA_Karting_European_Championship/PnX0wLxb">European Super A Championship</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a> He also was runner-up in the Winter Cup before the European Super A Championship.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a>

<h2 id="junior-car-career">Junior car career</h2>
Aged 18, Button moved into <a href="/facts/Open-wheel_car/EcvjqQj5">single seater car racing</a> after his mentor Paul Lemmens spoke to racing manager and former driver <a href="/facts/Harald_Huysman/2HbRrxYQ">Harald Huysman</a> about him.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> He was signed to businessman David Robertson and Huysman's managerial stable, who found him sponsorship to continue driving.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a> Robertson wanted Button to test a <a href="/facts/Carlin_Motorsport/r2B57kJF">Carlin Motorsport</a> <a href="/facts/Dallara/PnTvg3lK">Dallara</a> F3 <a href="/facts/Mugen_Motorsports/gYud7a6P">Mugen-Honda</a> car at the <a href="/facts/Pembrey_Circuit/zIoBtXNu">Pembrey Circuit</a> and quickly became acclimated with a more powerful vehicle and extra <a href="/facts/Downforce/4dDMSvmd">downforce</a>. Huysman and Robertson wanted Button to enter <a href="/facts/Formula_Three/dbITFbAn">Formula Three</a> (F3) but Button said he could not do so with his inexperience in car racing and did not want to enter the category for fear of immediately being uncompetitive. Button instead moved to <a href="/facts/Formula_Ford/Y5Gx5u1f">Formula Ford</a> for the 1998 season.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> He took the <a href="/facts/British_Formula_Ford_Championship/qKtTztPY">British Formula Ford Championship</a> in a Haywood Racing Mygale SJ98 car with nine victories and won the season-ending <a href="/facts/Formula_Ford_Festival/YsFJN7z2">Formula Ford Festival</a> at <a href="/facts/Brands_Hatch/2ewfIVYr">Brands Hatch</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a> Button also finished runner-up in the <a href="/facts/Formula_Ford_EuroCup/R2zBDGLY">European Formula Ford Championship</a> with one victory from four races.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a>
At the end of 1998, Button won the annual <a href="/facts/Autosport_BRDC_Award/6BqrQgA7">Autosport BRDC Award</a>, which included a test in a <a href="/facts/McLaren_MP4%2f14/WdasR9ca">McLaren MP4/14</a> F1 car that he received in November 1999.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> Huysman and Robertson sought a seat for him in F3 and spoke to <a href="/facts/OAK_Racing/nwnBIEtv">Promatecme</a> team owner Serge Saulnier, who did not want to sign Button because he was not part of <a href="/facts/Renault/obzoLxSN">Renault</a>'s driver academy. Additional lobbying from Mygale and Lemmens convinced Saulnier to give Button a test at the <a href="/facts/Circuit_de_Nevers_Magny-Cours/E7l0xDNT">Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours</a> in France. He impressed Saulnier and accepted his offer to drive at Promatecme. Saulnier taught Button on the downforce of F3 cars and how to maintain it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a>
Button drove in the <a href="/facts/British_Formula_3_International_Series/1wl5ANW2">British Formula 3 International Series</a> in <a href="/facts/1999_British_Formula_Three_Championship/uMPwnXJE">1999</a> in a slightly underpowered Renault-Dallara F399 car compared to the Mugen-Honda engine,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> with guidance from trainer-physiotherapist Josef Leberer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> Amongst more experienced racers,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a> he won three times—at <a href="/facts/Thruxton_Circuit/BhrvQVLe">Thruxton</a>, Pembrey and <a href="/facts/Silverstone_Circuit/acLpF4xW">Silverstone</a>—to finish the season as the top rookie driver, and third overall.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> He finished fifth and second respectively in the <a href="/facts/Masters_of_Formula_3/4LTaXG70">Marlboro Masters</a> and <a href="/facts/Macau_Grand_Prix/ynoTIgWU">Macau Grand Prix</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a> losing out by 0.035 seconds to <a href="/facts/Darren_Manning/7z77IoCQ">Darren Manning</a> in Macau.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a> Button was required to decide on his future post-season. He did not want another year in F3 and twice tested a higher-tier <a href="/facts/Formula_3000/kC9Lz7D3">Formula 3000</a> (F3000) car with both the <a href="/facts/Super_Nova_Racing/X8yC4SFf">Super Nova Racing</a> and <a href="/facts/Fortec_Motorsport/0kt0SPU9">Fortec Motorsport</a> teams at the <a href="/facts/Circuito_de_Jerez/QWCKxfp1">Jerez circuit</a> in Spain, which he disliked because its <a href="/facts/Sequential_manual_transmission/ENyfohEM">sequential gearbox</a> forced him to drive aggressively,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a> and found the cars somewhat heavy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a>

<h3>Williams (2000)</h3>

In November 1999, Button had his McLaren test prize at the Silverstone club circuit in a <a href="/facts/McLaren_MP4%2f13/2DCUsSSh">MP4/13</a> car and impressed team owner <a href="/facts/Ron_Dennis/YrQn7Yuu">Ron Dennis</a>. He also tested for the <a href="/facts/Prost_Grand_Prix/PQpNFBMv">Prost</a> team at the <a href="/facts/Circuit_de_Barcelona-Catalunya/CIFIFjRK">Circuit de Catalunya</a> after the team owner Alain Prost was impressed by Button's ability and asked him to test.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a> Prost offered Button a drive at his F3000 squad before becoming his F1 team's <a href="/facts/Test_driver/ycCuPKdT">test driver</a> for one season to prepare for competitive driving. He did not commit because Prost had not prepared to fulfill the promise of a F1 seat.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a> Huysman and Robertson declined Dennis' offer for Button to join the McLaren team and a seat from <a href="/facts/Jaguar_Racing/cmTeu31k">Jaguar</a> chairman <a href="/facts/Jackie_Stewart/oMlapq60">Jackie Stewart</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a>
A vacant race seat became available at the <a href="/facts/Williams_Grand_Prix_Engineering/IpLQRtum">Williams</a> team following the departure of two-time <a href="/facts/Championship_Auto_Racing_Teams/aNv1uCWf">CART</a> champion <a href="/facts/Alex_Zanardi/snPSal8W">Alessandro Zanardi</a>. Other contenders for the seat included sports car driver <a href="/facts/J%25C3%25B6rg_M%25C3%25BCller/ytmY6QDd">Jörg Müller</a> and <a href="/facts/Japanese_Formula_3_Championship/g8pqnwks">Japanese Formula Three</a> champion <a href="/facts/Darren_Manning/7z77IoCQ">Darren Manning</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a> On 24 December 1999, team founder and principal <a href="/facts/Frank_Williams_(Formula_One)/TP2PUq3h">Frank Williams</a> telephoned Button,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a> who first thought it a joke,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a> and asked whether he was ready to drive in F1 to which he said no. Button's father instructed him to tell Williams he was indeed ready.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a> Button talked with Williams and BMW motorsport director <a href="/facts/Gerhard_Berger/4PAcPGuE">Gerhard Berger</a> and a 'shoot-out' test was arranged between Button and F3000 racer and test driver <a href="/facts/Bruno_Junqueira/tU6N7qRH">Bruno Junqueira</a> at Jerez in a <a href="/facts/Williams_FW21/Jk5vXBcB">Williams FW21B</a> car modified by being fitted with a BMW engine.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66">66</a> with Button securing the drive, even though the majority of the team's engineers preferred Junqueira.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68">68</a> This made him Britain's youngest ever F1 driver, beating the previous record held by <a href="/facts/Stirling_Moss/We0zdSmY">Stirling Moss</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a> Button did not hold a <a href="/facts/FIA_Super_Licence/wzpE5l2b">FIA Super Licence</a> and the FIA president <a href="/facts/Max_Mosley/8WD8TQw8">Max Mosley</a> required him to complete 300 km (190 mi) on two consecutive days of testing and support from 18 of the 26 members of the F1 Commission.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71">71</a> The FIA chose to issue him with a super licence regardless.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72">72</a> Button worked with a physiotherapist to help build his strength to drive an F1 car.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:73" href="#fn:73">73</a>
A sixth-place finish at the season's second race in <a href="/facts/2000_Brazilian_Grand_Prix/ndjvFhxy">Brazil</a> made him the <a href="/facts/List_of_Formula_One_driver_records/tpHMlUCI">youngest driver in history to score a point</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:74" href="#fn:74">74</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:75" href="#fn:75">75</a> In his first six races, he qualified higher than his teammate <a href="/facts/Ralf_Schumacher/X4QSjPtN">Ralf Schumacher</a> twice, and was consistently close in pace.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:76" href="#fn:76">76</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:77" href="#fn:77">77</a> However, Williams had intended to use Button only until they could exercise their option to buy the highly rated <a href="/facts/Juan_Pablo_Montoya/PncntMHl">Juan Pablo Montoya</a> out of his contract at <a href="/facts/Chip_Ganassi_Racing/R5SUFmtY">Chip Ganassi Racing</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:78" href="#fn:78">78</a> A dip in Button's form, combined with Montoya's victory in the <a href="/facts/2000_Indianapolis_500/NhwBwlLC">2000 Indianapolis 500</a>, led to Montoya being announced as his replacement midway through the season. Williams chose not to sell Button's contract, keeping the right to recall him in 2003. He went to <a href="/facts/Benetton_Formula/jpAA9AmB">Benetton Formula</a> on a two-year loan.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:79" href="#fn:79">79</a>
Button's best qualification of the season was third place in the <a href="/facts/2000_Belgian_Grand_Prix/PoQHnLyl">Belgian Grand Prix</a> at <a href="/facts/Circuit_de_Spa-Francorchamps/fEFfks8C">Spa-Francorchamps</a>; and his best result was fourth in the <a href="/facts/2000_German_Grand_Prix/rU9atVCn">German Grand Prix</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:80" href="#fn:80">80</a> After concerns about his inexperience, he made a few errors during the season, the most notable coming in the <a href="/facts/2000_Italian_Grand_Prix/KUJwW9JS">Italian Grand Prix</a> at <a href="/facts/Autodromo_Nazionale_Monza/xRaXQYR8">Monza</a>. Under <a href="/facts/Safety_car/DatqPzpM">safety car</a> conditions Button swerved to avoid the pack which had bunched up, and crashed into a barrier.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:81" href="#fn:81">81</a> Button finished his debut season in eighth place with 12 points.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:82" href="#fn:82">82</a>

<h3>Team Enstone (2001–2002)</h3>
<h4>Benetton (2001)</h4>

For <a href="/facts/2001_Formula_One_World_Championship/A0g8HXyj">2001</a>, Button partnered experienced driver <a href="/facts/Giancarlo_Fisichella/l6lkcFpS">Giancarlo Fisichella</a> at Benetton, which had recently been purchased by <a href="/facts/Renault_in_Formula_One/nMxe9Sl8">Renault</a>. His car was very uncompetitive due to a lack of <a href="/facts/Power_steering/QNuVbLQK">power steering</a> and horsepower to the faster teams coupled with a lack of pre-season testing and he was consistently outperformed by his teammate.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:83" href="#fn:83">83</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:84" href="#fn:84">84</a> He finished 17th in the <a href="/facts/List_of_Formula_One_World_Drivers%2527_Champions/RVaDSets">Drivers' Championship</a> with a total of two points scored; his best result was a fifth-place finish at the <a href="/facts/2001_German_Grand_Prix/g7Y9xqdA">German Grand Prix</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:85" href="#fn:85">85</a> His poor form led to speculation he would be replaced before the end of the year;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:86" href="#fn:86">86</a> team principal <a href="/facts/Flavio_Briatore/LAJwtJMS">Flavio Briatore</a> said, "Either he shows he's super-good or he leaves the top echelon of drivers",<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:87" href="#fn:87">87</a> and reportedly offered him the chance to leave.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:88" href="#fn:88">88</a> Briatore believed Button's inexperience showed as he struggled to help his team set up a competitive car.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:89" href="#fn:89">89</a> His lack of success combined with an extravagant lifestyle led some press publications to dub him a "<a href="/facts/Playboy_lifestyle/QUVGJSjv">playboy</a>".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:90" href="#fn:90">90</a>

<h4>Renault (2002)</h4>

In <a href="/facts/2002_Formula_One_World_Championship/T5hcx1z4">2002</a>, Benetton was re-branded as Renault, and <a href="/facts/Jarno_Trulli/9PwKhKUc">Jarno Trulli</a> joined the team to partner Button.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:91" href="#fn:91">91</a> In a bid to improve his public image over the pre-season interval,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:92" href="#fn:92">92</a> he changed his social life habits, spending more time training, and separating from Robertson and Huysman to join John Byfield's sport managerial stable after Briatore talked to Button about Byfield.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:93" href="#fn:93">93</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:94" href="#fn:94">94</a> In late 2001, Briatore invited Button to spend ten days at a ranch in Kenya,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:95" href="#fn:95">95</a> to become acquainted with his peers and do physical training to eliminate a shoulder and back problem that had hindered him in 2001.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:96" href="#fn:96">96</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:97" href="#fn:97">97</a> Button spent a lot of time working with his engineering team and felt there was an improved understanding between them; Button described himself as "very confident" for the season.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:98" href="#fn:98">98</a>
At the season's second race in <a href="/facts/2002_Malaysian_Grand_Prix/WhUPzoRk">Malaysia</a>, he was set for his first podium before a rear suspension problem on the final lap dropped him to fourth place. Button's performances were greatly improved from 2001 because his car had power steering and <a href="/facts/Launch_control_(automotive)/DeXw6v6W">launch control</a>; although often outqualified by Trulli, he showed the faster race pace to outscore his more experienced teammate. Despite Button's performances, and his desire to stay with Renault, he was told by Briatore by telephone that test driver <a href="/facts/Fernando_Alonso/9SapruYS">Fernando Alonso</a> would replace him in 2003.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:99" href="#fn:99">99</a> Briatore faced criticism for his decision, but stated "time will tell if I am wrong";<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:100" href="#fn:100">100</a> he would also accuse Button of being a "lazy playboy".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:101" href="#fn:101">101</a> In July, Button signed a two-year contract with <a href="/facts/British_American_Racing/VQ6BoeCK">British American Racing</a> (BAR) with the option for a further two years after that to replace the outgoing <a href="/facts/Olivier_Panis/gIGeU2Ct">Olivier Panis</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:102" href="#fn:102">102</a> partnering 1997 world champion <a href="/facts/Jacques_Villeneuve/6AntpYeL">Jacques Villeneuve</a>, after discussions with several teams fell through. An important factor in his decision was the chance to work with <a href="/facts/David_Richards_(motorsport)/VCIhCNMq">David Richards</a>, the BAR team principal, and he was impressed with the team's long-term programme.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:103" href="#fn:103">103</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:104" href="#fn:104">104</a> He finished the season seventh with 14 points.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:105" href="#fn:105">105</a>

<h3>Brackley-based teams (2003–2009)</h3>
<h4>BAR (2003–2005)</h4>
<h5>2003</h5>
Button faced early hostility from new teammate Villeneuve, who said Button "should be in a boy band" and was not on speaking terms with him.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:106" href="#fn:106">106</a> Their relationship did not improve after the <a href="/facts/2003_Australian_Grand_Prix/HoNkl9oD">first race</a> in Australia: Villeneuve was due to pit, but stayed out an extra lap and made a pit stop when Button was due in, leaving Button waiting in the pit lane while Villeneuve's car was serviced. Villeneuve blamed it on "radio problems", but both Button and Richards hinted that they did not believe him. Button scored eight points in the first six races, including a fourth place at the <a href="/facts/2003_Austrian_Grand_Prix/X9e3T96H">Austrian Grand Prix</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:107" href="#fn:107">107</a> His relationship with Villeneuve improved thereafter because of his better performance and said the comments were caused by inter-team changes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:108" href="#fn:108">108</a> A high speed crash for Button during Saturday qualifying in <a href="/facts/2003_Monaco_Grand_Prix/V2j1pygG">Monaco</a> briefly knocked him unconscious, and he was detained in hospital overnight. Despite the accident Button still wanted to race, but was withdrawn by his team on medical advice. He was cleared to race for the following Grand Prix in <a href="/facts/2003_Canadian_Grand_Prix/HUkCuVFa">Montreal</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:109" href="#fn:109">109</a> Button continued to outperform his teammate and this helped rebuild his previously faltering reputation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:110" href="#fn:110">110</a> Just before the final race in <a href="/facts/2003_Japanese_Grand_Prix/VvHpVnzl">Japan</a>, Villeneuve lost his seat at BAR, so Button was partnered with <a href="/facts/Takuma_Sato/HbvLlM1X">Takuma Sato</a>; he took his second fourth place of the season,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:111" href="#fn:111">111</a> and finished ninth in the Drivers' Championship with 17 points.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:112" href="#fn:112">112</a>

<h5>2004</h5>
The <a href="/facts/2004_Formula_One_World_Championship/ucdzds7g">2004</a> season was the first in which Button was the more experienced driver in his team. He was ambitious for the season, saying he wanted to challenge consistently for points and podium finishes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:113" href="#fn:113">113</a> He took his first podium in the second race of the year—third-place at the <a href="/facts/2004_Malaysian_Grand_Prix/3FAHnuWa">Malaysian Grand Prix</a>. He followed it up two weeks later with another third-place in <a href="/facts/2004_Bahrain_Grand_Prix/uDSyaveV">Bahrain</a>. In the next race at <a href="/facts/2004_San_Marino_Grand_Prix/JCUlEEkK">Imola</a>, he took his first pole position and finished second behind <a href="/facts/Michael_Schumacher/Pt9t1VUy">Michael Schumacher</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:114" href="#fn:114">114</a> He took 10 podiums in 18 races, and scored no points in three.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:115" href="#fn:115">115</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:116" href="#fn:116">116</a> Button came third in the Drivers' Championship and helped BAR to take second in the <a href="/facts/List_of_Formula_One_World_Constructors%2527_Champions/UUtIG8ft">Constructors' Championship</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:117" href="#fn:117">117</a>
In August, Button became embroiled in a contract dispute. On 5 August, Button chose to leave BAR and signed a two-year contract to return to Williams.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:118" href="#fn:118">118</a> He did so because BAR were not a works manufacturer team but Williams were in a partnership with BMW and felt they could help him win the Drivers' Championship.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:119" href="#fn:119">119</a> This was surprising, as Button was enjoying his best season to date, while Williams had been struggling.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:120" href="#fn:120">120</a> BAR insisted they had the right to exercise their option to retain Button. His management argued that the BAR option was not valid because it contained a clause allowing him to leave if BAR risked losing their Honda engines. They felt the new contract signed mid-year for Honda to supply engines to BAR was not definitive, and thus Button was free to move.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:121" href="#fn:121">121</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:122" href="#fn:122">122</a> The dispute went to F1's Contract Recognition Board, who ruled in favour of BAR on 20 October, forcing Button to stay with the team.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:123" href="#fn:123">123</a> Button separated from his manager John Byfield as a result, saying he had been badly advised.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:124" href="#fn:124">124</a> He asked his friend Richard Goodard to manage him,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:125" href="#fn:125">125</a> and employed a personal assistant in restructuring his organisation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:126" href="#fn:126">126</a>

<h5>2005</h5>

Despite the feud, Button insisted he had BAR's backing,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:127" href="#fn:127">127</a> and was optimistic for the <a href="/facts/2005_Formula_One_World_Championship/dCAPTlp2">2005</a> season.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:128" href="#fn:128">128</a> He was unable to deal with regulation changes concerning aerodynamics and his car lacked pace as a result.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:129" href="#fn:129">129</a> Button was disqualified from third place at the <a href="/facts/2005_San_Marino_Grand_Prix/jqVrqTq2">San Marino Grand Prix</a> after race scrutineers found his car had a second fuel tank inside the main one, that when drained, made his car underweight. The FIA International Court of Appeal banned Button and his team from the next two races as a result. Following his return, he took the second pole position of his career in <a href="/facts/2005_Canadian_Grand_Prix/QQNVkIMJ">Montreal</a>, but crashed out after an error while running third.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:130" href="#fn:130">130</a> After the <a href="/facts/2005_United_States_Grand_Prix/S2gEtPRH">United States Grand Prix</a>, Button scored in all of the remaining races with two third-place finishes in <a href="/facts/2005_German_Grand_Prix/lL7VQKGq">Germany</a> and <a href="/facts/2005_Belgian_Grand_Prix/epLPoUEN">Belgium</a> to end the season in ninth place on 37 points.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:131" href="#fn:131">131</a>
For the second consecutive year, Button had contract disputes involving BAR and Williams. Button had signed a pre-contract to drive for Williams in <a href="/facts/2006_Formula_One_World_Championship/keylTq3r">2006</a>, but he now believed his prospects of achieving his maiden Grand Prix victory would be better at BAR, and that his Williams contract was not binding.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:132" href="#fn:132">132</a> Frank Williams insisted the contract was fully binding, and that there would be "absolutely no turning back"; his team required Button to fulfill some contractual obligations with sponsors.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:133" href="#fn:133">133</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:134" href="#fn:134">134</a> After several weeks of talks, Williams agreed to release Button in exchange for an estimated £18 million in compensation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:135" href="#fn:135">135</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:136" href="#fn:136">136</a>

<h4>Honda (2006–2008)</h4>
<h5>2006</h5>

BAR was renamed <a href="/facts/Honda_in_Formula_One/4ktQ594F">Honda</a> prior to 2006 following a buyout by the Japanese manufacturer and Button was partnered by the experienced <a href="/facts/Rubens_Barrichello/cn9t03Dg">Rubens Barrichello</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:137" href="#fn:137">137</a> Honda granted Button equal status and he would receive no preferential treatment alongside Barrichello.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:138" href="#fn:138">138</a> The new team performed well in testing, helped by the extra resources now available from Honda, and Button was confident in the car.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:139" href="#fn:139">139</a> He had been frustrated by not converting his increasing experience and confidence in his driving into success in 2005 and was excited about Honda's car and engine development enabling race victory challenges.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:140" href="#fn:140">140</a> Button scored points in five of the first eleven races, finishing third at the second round, the <a href="/facts/2006_Malaysian_Grand_Prix/v8FDKz6I">Malaysian Grand Prix</a>, and pole position for the following <a href="/facts/2006_Australian_Grand_Prix/FrIInfTg">Australian Grand Prix</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:141" href="#fn:141">141</a> The first win of his career was at a rain-affected <a href="/facts/2006_Hungarian_Grand_Prix/2p4wWhY6">Hungarian Grand Prix</a> from a 14th position start – the 113th Grand Prix start of his career.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:142" href="#fn:142">142</a> Button finished fourth or fifth at each of the next five races and ended the season with a podium finish at the final round in <a href="/facts/2006_Brazilian_Grand_Prix/hgu06YGe">Brazil</a>. Over the last six races of the season, he scored more points (35) than any other driver.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:143" href="#fn:143">143</a>

<h5>2007</h5>

In <a href="/facts/2007_Formula_One_World_Championship/SFkUkmrS">2007</a>, Button again drove with Honda alongside Barrichello. He was unable to partake in pre-season testing because of two hairline fractures to his ribs, sustained in a karting incident in late 2006.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:144" href="#fn:144">144</a> His <a href="/facts/Honda_RA107/8qHcjh7W">Honda RA107</a> car had an <a href="/facts/Aerodynamics/Cn6Lnl3H">aerodynamic</a> imbalance from lacking grip after <a href="/facts/Shuhei_Nakamoto/LWFVYAAJ">Shuhei Nakamoto</a> was appointed Senior Technical Director following the departure of <a href="/facts/Geoff_Willis/IXa1l6HA">Geoff Willis</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:145" href="#fn:145">145</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:146" href="#fn:146">146</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:147" href="#fn:147">147</a> His year was worse than in 2006, driving within the middle of the field and usually qualifying outside of the top ten. He scored six points over the course of the season for 15th overall with a best finish of fifth at the rain-affected <a href="/facts/2007_Chinese_Grand_Prix/5mzmRBtW">Chinese Grand Prix</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:148" href="#fn:148">148</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:149" href="#fn:149">149</a>

<h5>2008</h5>

Button stayed with Honda for <a href="/facts/2008_Formula_One_World_Championship/ox8j9IuK">2008</a>, and continued to be partnered by Barrichello. He and a group of friends went to <a href="/facts/Lanzarote/9C8GJSts">Lanzarote</a> to establish a base to train for the upcoming season. Button was confident since the technical director <a href="/facts/Ross_Brawn/MfREx9QK">Ross Brawn</a> became Honda's team principal and noticed wind tunnel designs of the car.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:150" href="#fn:150">150</a> Button began working with human performance coach Michael Collier that year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:151" href="#fn:151">151</a> The <a href="/facts/Honda_RA108/0oHgeR8z">Honda RA108</a> proved to be uncompetitive, and he scored three points that year because he finished sixth at the <a href="/facts/2008_Spanish_Grand_Prix/9tCJ4MGH">Spanish Grand Prix</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:152" href="#fn:152">152</a>
On the morning of 4 December 2008, the <a href="/facts/2008_financial_crisis/qw8n1pSN">2008 financial crisis</a> caused Honda to withdraw from F1, leaving Button's chances of a drive in <a href="/facts/2009_Formula_One_World_Championship/dDBwXCTQ">2009</a> dependent on the team finding a buyer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:153" href="#fn:153">153</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:154" href="#fn:154">154</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:155" href="#fn:155">155</a> He was informed of the news by Goodard the day before and Button changed his plans to discuss the withdrawal with colleagues and not the performance of his 2009 car.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:156" href="#fn:156">156</a> He declined an offer to drive for <a href="/facts/Red_Bull_Racing/l9JjPJzJ">Red Bull Racing</a>'s junior team <a href="/facts/Scuderia_Toro_Rosso/GDjdwTCe">Toro Rosso</a> because they would not give him a podium-winning car and they wanted sponsorship funding.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:157" href="#fn:157">157</a>

<h4>Brawn GP (2009)</h4>
Brawn purchased the Honda team for a nominal fee and renamed it as <a href="/facts/Brawn_GP/CjfpxGoL">Brawn GP</a> in early March 2009. Button signed a contract to drive for the team in <a href="/facts/2009_Formula_One_World_Championship/dDBwXCTQ">2009</a>, and took a pay cut as part of the agreement. Although he was installed by bookmakers as a 100–1 outsider for the championship, Button's <a href="/facts/Brawn_BGP_001/H67sF1CY">Brawn BGP 001</a> car was quick and reliable in pre-season testing in Europe due to an efficient aerodynamic package, a powerful <a href="/facts/Mercedes-Benz_in_Formula_One/wDLaEP5q">Mercedes-Benz</a> V8 engine and grippy <a href="/facts/Slick_tyres/TCxJg5q8">slick tyres</a>. The car's seat was lowered to make him comfortable.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:158" href="#fn:158">158</a>

Button won six of the first seven races with four pole positions,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:159" href="#fn:159">159</a> having benefited from a double diffuser design making him and the Toyota and Williams teams faster than others.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:160" href="#fn:160">160</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:161" href="#fn:161">161</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:162" href="#fn:162">162</a> Once the major teams had introduced their own reconfigured diffusers Button's dominance ended, averaging sixth position in the following ten races and scoring 35 points after accumulating 61 in the first seven.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:163" href="#fn:163">163</a> This was due to the team spending 10 per cent of its allocated £7 million budget on developing the car and Button's smooth driving style preventing him from generating heat into its tyres in cold weather.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:164" href="#fn:164">164</a> At the <a href="/facts/2009_Brazilian_Grand_Prix/LkFdxqSA">Brazilian Grand Prix</a>, Button was hampered in qualifying by a poor choice of tyres in the wet weather and could achieve 14th position. His championship campaign was boosted by Vettel qualifying 16th, but team-mate and closest rival Barrichello qualified on pole. In the race, Button finished fifth, taking enough points to secure the championship with one round remaining.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:165" href="#fn:165">165</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:166" href="#fn:166">166</a> At the final race of the season, the <a href="/facts/2009_Abu_Dhabi_Grand_Prix/EJVTJFdE">Abu Dhabi Grand Prix</a>, Button qualified behind Barrichello again, but finished on the podium in third position.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:167" href="#fn:167">167</a>

In the off-season, Brawn and team principal <a href="/facts/Nick_Fry/t9cedTV7">Nick Fry</a> informed Button they wanted him to sign an extension to his contract and be paired with <a href="/facts/Nico_Rosberg/yUSqYjMa">Nico Rosberg</a>. Button asked for a commitment to car development for 2010 and a close to a repeat performance of the 2009 season. Brawn and Fry said <a href="/facts/Mercedes-Benz_in_Formula_One/wDLaEP5q">Mercedes</a> would buy-out Brawn GP without locating potential sponsors, which Button found unappealing and told his manager Richard Goodard he desired a new challenge.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:168" href="#fn:168">168</a>

<h3>McLaren (2010–2017)</h3>

Goodard telephoned McLaren team principal <a href="/facts/Martin_Whitmarsh/wIsyCm56">Martin Whitmarsh</a> to enquire about a drive for Button.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:169" href="#fn:169">169</a> Whitmarsh did not believe Button would leave Brawn GP since they had won the Championship; Goodard mentioned McLaren's competitiveness at the end of 2009 and partnering 2008 world champion <a href="/facts/Lewis_Hamilton/rqSQeCXq">Lewis Hamilton</a> appealed to Button. Discussions took place at the team's headquarters in <a href="/facts/Woking/3Y70MDPo">Woking</a> and a three-year deal was signed soon after.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:170" href="#fn:170">170</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:171" href="#fn:171">171</a> Button said he moved because he wanted the motivation and challenge from competing alongside Hamilton,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:172" href="#fn:172">172</a> but Whitmarsh cautioned the two before the start of the season he would observe any relationship problems between them.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:173" href="#fn:173">173</a>

<h4>2010</h4>

Button won at the <a href="/facts/2010_Australian_Grand_Prix/z4uVFEcc">Australian Grand Prix</a> and the <a href="/facts/2010_Chinese_Grand_Prix/VXjabrC7">Chinese Grand Prix</a> in variable weather to take the lead of the Drivers' Championship.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:174" href="#fn:174">174</a> He later finished second in <a href="/facts/2010_Turkish_Grand_Prix/TEoYvQyg">Turkey</a> after a miscommunication with his team caused him to battle Hamilton for the victory. This cooled his relationship with Hamilton who believed McLaren favoured Button. He followed with two podium finishes and a trio of points scoring finishes to remain in contention for the championship.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:175" href="#fn:175">175</a> Button retired at the <a href="/facts/2010_Belgian_Grand_Prix/MNsTf9EU">Belgian Grand Prix</a> after Vettel hit him and punctured the radiator of his car. Second at <a href="/facts/2010_Italian_Grand_Prix/oDknBCEE">Monza</a> was followed by a fourth place in both <a href="/facts/2010_Singapore_Grand_Prix/DuArWlJ8">Singapore</a> and <a href="/facts/2010_Japanese_Grand_Prix/hPPa0e1k">Japan</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:176" href="#fn:176">176</a> During the <a href="/facts/2010_Brazilian_Grand_Prix/RH8wKWQK">Brazilian Grand Prix</a> weekend, Button and his entourage were threatened by a number of criminals in the <a href="/facts/Favela/hqzLRaP3">favelas</a> on his way back from qualifying at <a href="/facts/Aut%25C3%25B3dromo_Jos%25C3%25A9_Carlos_Pace/Bt3cfC9k">Interlagos</a>; nobody was harmed during the incident.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:177" href="#fn:177">177</a> Button was mathematically eliminated from retaining the title with a fifth place in the race and took fifth in the championship with third in <a href="/facts/2010_Abu_Dhabi_Grand_Prix/L3CSTUpV">Abu Dhabi</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:178" href="#fn:178">178</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:179" href="#fn:179">179</a>

<h4>2011</h4>

Button's <a href="/facts/McLaren_MP4-26/UQT6FUM8">MP4-26</a> car for <a href="/facts/2011_Formula_One_World_Championship/8SMbl99d">2011</a> was built around his taller frame from intra-team input in late 2010.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:180" href="#fn:180">180</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:181" href="#fn:181">181</a> He believed the introduction of <a href="/facts/Pirelli/C8ygGWng">Pirelli</a> tyres that season would suit his smooth driving style and said a world championship victory would make it difficult for him to retire from F1.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:182" href="#fn:182">182</a> Button began the season by finishing no lower than sixth in the first six races with three podium results.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:183" href="#fn:183">183</a> He won the rain-affected <a href="/facts/2011_Canadian_Grand_Prix/7rjHmmcy">Canadian Grand Prix</a> after two collisions dropped him to the back of the field and overtaking Vettel when the latter ran wide on the slippery track on the final lap.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:184" href="#fn:184">184</a> Button then won the <a href="/facts/2011_Hungarian_Grand_Prix/TTEY4n7m">Hungarian Grand Prix</a>, which was held in similar weather, and the <a href="/facts/2011_Japanese_Grand_Prix/E4Jo7mMg">Japanese Grand Prix</a>, but his results over the course of the season mathematically eliminated him from championship contention when Vettel took the title in Japan. Button took 3 victories and 12 podium finishes to finish runner-up with 270 points.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:185" href="#fn:185">185</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:186" href="#fn:186">186</a>

<h4>2012</h4>

Whitmarsh wanted Button to remain at McLaren for the next three years while the latter held talks with Ferrari about a race seat in 2013.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:187" href="#fn:187">187</a> Before the 2011 Japanese Grand Prix, he signed a three-year extension to his contract with McLaren.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:188" href="#fn:188">188</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:189" href="#fn:189">189</a> Button was satisfied with the new <a href="/facts/McLaren_MP4-27/yqvdxydK">MP4-27</a> car due to McLaren finding a regulation loophole banning the blowing of exhaust gases over parts of the vehicle to improve downforce.

<h4>2013</h4>

Button was joined at McLaren by <a href="/facts/Ferrari_Driver_Academy/1MIz4TVx">Ferrari Driver Academy</a> graduate <a href="/facts/Sergio_P%25C3%25A9rez/w5cWBd6V">Sergio Pérez</a> for <a href="/facts/2013_Formula_One_World_Championship/22Qwwe1z">2013</a> and their relationship was cooler because the latter entered the team hastily.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:195" href="#fn:195">195</a> He was appointed a director of the <a href="/facts/Grand_Prix_Drivers%2527_Association/n83R7Itn">Grand Prix Drivers' Association</a> (GPDA) in March 2013.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:196" href="#fn:196">196</a> McLaren built the <a href="/facts/McLaren_MP4-28/SWM3jHTS">MP4-28</a> car not in advance of regulation changes for <a href="/facts/2014_Formula_One_World_Championship/t7HfM4z6">2014</a>, but from scratch.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:197" href="#fn:197">197</a> This caused Button to drive an unstable car with understeer, a lack of downforce and severe tyre degradation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:198" href="#fn:198">198</a> After finishing ninth at the season-opening <a href="/facts/2013_Australian_Grand_Prix/8NFbG43s">Australian Grand Prix</a>, McLaren introduced components from the MP4-27 onto the MP4-28, which had no significant effect and Button continued to attain sub-par results throughout the season with a best of fourth at the season-ending <a href="/facts/2013_Brazilian_Grand_Prix/vYyq87Fe">Brazilian Grand Prix</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:199" href="#fn:199">199</a> He was ninth overall with 73 points. Button was involved in aggressive driving from his teammate Pérez early in the season in <a href="/facts/2013_Bahrain_Grand_Prix/kx7Y5jvJ">Bahrain</a> and <a href="/facts/2013_Monaco_Grand_Prix/LCjpLcKd">Monaco</a>, annoying him.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:200" href="#fn:200">200</a>

<h4>2014–2015</h4>

He activated the terms of his contract to stay with McLaren for 2014 in September 2013,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:201" href="#fn:201">201</a> but considered taking a sabbatical from F1 following the unexpected death of his father in Monaco in January 2014.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:202" href="#fn:202">202</a> Button was joined by <a href="/facts/Kevin_Magnussen/l84jmNVc">Kevin Magnussen</a>, with whom he was able to build a rapport, and the <a href="/facts/McLaren_MP4-29/486K8FQM">MP4-29</a> car had an understeer from lacking front downforce and an unstable rear.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:203" href="#fn:203">203</a> He finished third at the season-opening <a href="/facts/2014_Australian_Grand_Prix/bDWj9Isn">Australian Grand Prix</a> after Red Bull Racing driver <a href="/facts/Daniel_Ricciardo/b9sg3Vbp">Daniel Ricciardo</a> was disqualified for a fuel flow consumption infringement and his team lost a subsequent appeal against the decision.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:204" href="#fn:204">204</a> It would turn out to be his final career podium. Button achieved a quartet of fourth-place finishes and scored points seven more times for eighth in the Drivers' Championship and 126 points.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:205" href="#fn:205">205</a> Button qualified better than Magnussen ten times and scored twice as many points.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:206" href="#fn:206">206</a>

Button became unenthusiastic over F1 and the press speculated on his future in the sport with rumors Alonso would be Magnussen's teammate in <a href="/facts/2015_Formula_One_World_Championship/25Fx52P1">2015</a>. He wanted to remain at McLaren but was made insecure about his career and told himself to concentrate on the present and not be concerned about the future.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:207" href="#fn:207">207</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:208" href="#fn:208">208</a> Dennis did not want Button to drive for McLaren but fellow team shareholder <a href="/facts/Mansour_Ojjeh/Uq2A9o4K">Mansour Ojjeh</a> told him Button should remain over Magnussen after reviewing the situation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:209" href="#fn:209">209</a> Negotiations between Button and McLaren racing director <a href="/facts/%25C3%2589ric_Boullier/TvCezNr9">Éric Boullier</a> and team owner Ron Dennis concluded with an agreement for Button to continue racing on 10 December.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:210" href="#fn:210">210</a> Button agreed to take a pay cut,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:211" href="#fn:211">211</a> with his contract containing the option for a second year; McLaren or Button were able to activate clauses to break the contract after the season if one of the parties desired it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:212" href="#fn:212">212</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:213" href="#fn:213">213</a> Button struggled in 2015 due to an unreliable and an underpowered Honda engine lacking straightline speed,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:214" href="#fn:214">214</a> securing four top-ten finishes and a best result of sixth at the <a href="/facts/2015_United_States_Grand_Prix/FpRfPYHh">United States Grand Prix</a>. He was rarely able to progress past the first qualifying session and took 16th in the Drivers' Championship with 16 points.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:215" href="#fn:215">215</a>

<h4>2016–2017</h4>

He was retained by the McLaren team for <a href="/facts/2016_Formula_One_World_Championship/1ICNWLC7">2016</a> following contractual discussions with Dennis and meetings with aerodynamics and engineers at the <a href="/facts/McLaren_Technology_Centre/sbcQv5Hf">McLaren Technology Centre</a> (MTC). Button received a 50 per cent pay rise by staying at McLaren for another year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:216" href="#fn:216">216</a> He had considered returning to the Williams team but decided against it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:217" href="#fn:217">217</a> His car's new Honda engine was more powerful and allowed him to challenge for points-scoring finishes but reliability continued to hinder him and McLaren.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:218" href="#fn:218">218</a> He finished 15 of the 21 races that year,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:219" href="#fn:219">219</a> qualifying a season-high third at the <a href="/facts/2016_Austrian_Grand_Prix/nTVnj2vm">Austrian Grand Prix</a>, the highest start for the McLaren-Honda partnership. Button went on to finish the race a season-high sixth.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:220" href="#fn:220">220</a> He was unable to finish higher than eighth thereafter and ended his full-time career with a suspension failure at the season-ending <a href="/facts/2016_Abu_Dhabi_Grand_Prix/hFplEbFG">Abu Dhabi Grand Prix</a>. Button took 15th in the Drivers' Championship with 21 points finishing better than Alonso five times and qualifying higher on four occasions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:221" href="#fn:221">221</a>
Before the <a href="/facts/2016_Belgian_Grand_Prix/FbHk9ufR">Belgian Grand Prix</a>, he told Dennis he planned to retire after the season.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:222" href="#fn:222">222</a> Dennis asked Button to wait before returning for discussion to which he said he had already decided.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:223" href="#fn:223">223</a> He suggested Button take a sabbatical and mull over the decision to retire while resting and made Button an ambassador for McLaren.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:224" href="#fn:224">224</a> He would work in the team's simulator at MTC, represent them at sponsor functions and attempt to help them in car development.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:225" href="#fn:225">225</a> Button was retained by McLaren as reserve driver with the option to return to full-time racing for the team in <a href="/facts/2018_Formula_One_World_Championship/BGyyNMFB">2018</a> if he and McLaren agreed to it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:226" href="#fn:226">226</a> He was replaced as a GPDA director by <a href="/facts/Romain_Grosjean/Fcc4lblN">Romain Grosjean</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:227" href="#fn:227">227</a> In April 2017, Boullier asked Button to drive in lieu of the <a href="/facts/2017_Indianapolis_500/gSrMrK6W">Indianapolis 500</a>-bound Alonso at the <a href="/facts/2017_Monaco_Grand_Prix/9gc7oVUH">Monaco Grand Prix</a> and agreed after Goodard told him there was no way to get out of the commitment because he was contractually bound to drive.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:228" href="#fn:228">228</a> He prepared in the team's simulator instead of testing in Bahrain because he would learn nothing by not driving on a narrow street circuit.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:229" href="#fn:229">229</a> He retired late in the race following a collision with Sauber driver <a href="/facts/Pascal_Wehrlein/2YPCmD5W">Pascal Wehrlein</a> that damaged his car.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:230" href="#fn:230">230</a>
In November 2017, Button was replaced as McLaren reserve driver by <a href="/facts/FIA_Formula_3_European_Championship/dLljukrq">2017 FIA Formula Three European</a> champion <a href="/facts/Lando_Norris/Iy9z2frH">Lando Norris</a> for 2018.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:231" href="#fn:231">231</a> His contract with McLaren expired without renewal at the end of 2017 allowing him to focus on other racing ventures.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:232" href="#fn:232">232</a>

<h3>Williams senior advisor (2021)</h3>
In January 2021, Button rejoined Williams as a senior advisor on a multi-year deal. He assisted their race and <a href="/facts/Williams_Driver_Academy/aW5fBPHQ">Williams Academy</a> drivers on-track and at the team's headquarters and conducted ambassadorial duties for the team.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:233" href="#fn:233">233</a> It was expected from Button to focus on the entire team and not one specific department, but he could not enter Williams' premises due to travel restrictions from the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:234" href="#fn:234">234</a> Forthwith, COVID-19 protocols restricted his bonding with the team since he was in the Sky Sports broadcasting bubble.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:235" href="#fn:235">235</a>

<h2 id="super-gt-career">Super GT career</h2>

Button became interested in <a href="/facts/Super_GT/V1l1Po6N">Super GT</a> in about 2011,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:236" href="#fn:236">236</a> and discussions with Honda led to his series debut at the 2017 <a href="/facts/Suzuka_1000km/P8jE0VFl">Suzuka 1000km</a> in a <a href="/facts/Honda_NSX_(second_generation)/qkUAQAs6">NSX-GT</a> for <a href="/facts/Mugen_Motorsports/gYud7a6P">Team Mugen</a> with teammates <a href="/facts/Hideki_Mutoh/wP6kaSKh">Hideki Mutoh</a> and <a href="/facts/Daisuke_Nakajima/Uc9wRYwo">Daisuke Nakajima</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:237" href="#fn:237">237</a> The trio finished 12th following two penalties and two tyre punctures.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:238" href="#fn:238">238</a> He also considered racing as a third driver for <a href="/facts/Team_Penske/N2CCheJQ">Acura Team Penske</a>'s <a href="/facts/IMSA_SportsCar_Championship/tp8Ng1v3">IMSA SportsCar Championship</a> team, but was rejected.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:239" href="#fn:239">239</a> Button drove the full <a href="/facts/2018_Super_GT_Series/lUwaMsFj">2018 Super GT Series</a> for <a href="/facts/Team_Kunimitsu/LLrbmc7H">Team Kunimitsu</a> in the No. 100 GT500-class Honda NSX-GT alongside <a href="/facts/Naoki_Yamamoto_(racing_driver)/gzrGIggz">Naoki Yamamoto</a>;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:240" href="#fn:240">240</a> Button wanted to drive a <a href="/facts/Bridgestone/Psgl8qe7">Bridgestone</a>-shod car and drivers recommended Yamamoto because he speaks English.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:241" href="#fn:241">241</a> Button's team helped him to communicate better, adapt to the series and its culture.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:242" href="#fn:242">242</a> He and Yamamoto won at <a href="/facts/Sportsland_Sugo/8Nw4XodG">Sportsland Sugo</a> and took two-second-place finishes to enter the season-ending race at <a href="/facts/Twin_Ring_Motegi/MVU6wzH4">Twin Ring Motegi</a> equal on points with the <a href="/facts/TOM%2527S/YTFBSkhb">TOM'S</a> duo of <a href="/facts/Ry%25C5%258D_Hirakawa/0M2E39Nl">Ryō Hirakawa</a> and <a href="/facts/Nick_Cassidy/8cDvkfH5">Nick Cassidy</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:243" href="#fn:243">243</a> He held off Hirakawa to win the GT500 title by three points and was the first rookie champion since <a href="/facts/Toranosuke_Takagi/BEGhPGTT">Toranosuke Takagi</a> in <a href="/facts/2005_Super_GT_Series/aCJ9Pdlw">2005</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:244" href="#fn:244">244</a>

<h2 id="driving-style">Driving style</h2>

Button has a smooth driving style;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:292" href="#fn:292">292</a> journalist <a href="/facts/Mark_Hughes_(journalist)/Ws5DVIby">Mark Hughes</a> wrote in 2009:

<blockquote>Button has a fantastic feel for how much momentum can be taken into a corner and this allows him to be minimal in his inputs—his steering and throttle movements in particular tend to be graceful and beautifully co-ordinated.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:293" href="#fn:293">293</a></blockquote>
This allows him to perform well in wet-weather where the front of the car tends to slide more than the rear,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:294" href="#fn:294">294</a> and many believe his smooth style better preserves the tyres during a race.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:295" href="#fn:295">295</a> He adapted his style in go-karts and transferred it to more powerful machinery.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:296" href="#fn:296">296</a> Since 2000, Button has braked with his left foot,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:297" href="#fn:297">297</a> by dragging the brake pedal and stopping the car in less time to control and modulate power.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:298" href="#fn:298">298</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:299" href="#fn:299">299</a> He likes to turn into a corner early under braking and balance the car on pedal application and steering,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:300" href="#fn:300">300</a> creating more strain in tyre loads for a longer physical lap but allowing for a higher minimum corner entry speed and allowing Button to adapt to a changeable or slippery track.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:301" href="#fn:301">301</a>
He is comfortable driving a car with understeer,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:302" href="#fn:302">302</a> prefers the rear to be stable into corners and on which he is able to lean on leaving them,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:303" href="#fn:303">303</a> and rarely locks the inside of his front tyres.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:304" href="#fn:304">304</a> His smooth driving also means he cannot generate the necessary tyre temperature on a cool track.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:305" href="#fn:305">305</a> Button occasionally cannot get his tyres to operate efficiently over a single lap in qualifying because his gentle steering produces less energy into the wheel.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:306" href="#fn:306">306</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:307" href="#fn:307">307</a> His driving gave him additional thought time and be less prone to making an error for improved consistency in races and notices events without the team necessarily instructing him on what to do.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:308" href="#fn:308">308</a> Button accurately exploits grip on a damp corner to adapt to his limits earlier than other drivers. During 2001 and 2007, when <a href="/facts/Traction_control/Y93K07SE">traction control</a> was legal in F1, he was able to control the throttle pedal to prevent <a href="/facts/Wheelspin/Yg4b2USq">wheelspin</a>, allowing him to be as fast due to his feel for grip exiting a turn.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:309" href="#fn:309">309</a>

<h3>Driver number</h3>
For the 2014 season, the FIA created a new sporting regulation allowing a driver to select a unique car number for use throughout their F1 career. Button chose the number 22, which was the one he was assigned in his 2009 championship season.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:310" href="#fn:310">310</a>
