Spanners ReadyHOST
It may have been in 2022. where temporarily there was a reduction in overall downforce, and people were having to just break and lift a little bit into Copse.
Spanners ReadyHOST
And Jenson Button was on the commentary and went, oh my God, Copse is a corner again, because he understands the history of Copse.
Spanners ReadyHOST
And he would have been saddened over the years as Copse effectively becomes a straight.
Spanners ReadyHOST
And that's from this drumbeat of Aero Aero.
Horatio Fitz-SimonGUEST
been the beginning of a driver's journey.
Horatio Fitz-SimonGUEST
If you look back, I think Jenson Button's last Formula One driver to come from Formula Fords.
Horatio Fitz-SimonGUEST
But in their respect, Formula Fords really are a fantastic car in terms of what I think is the single most important asset in a driver's toolbox is understanding mechanical grip effectively.
Horatio Fitz-SimonGUEST
I started in go-karts before transitioning to Formula Fords when I was 21 was my first year of racing cars, my first full season.
MikeHOST
But generally, I thought the rest of it was excellent.
MikeHOST
Nice to see Jenson Button there.
MikeHOST
A couple of mentions of Froome in Somerset, which is a town I know quite well.
MikeHOST
We have friends who live there.
CameronHOST
They did an interview, I want to say, last Grand Prix, and he was asked, what's the struggle? What's this all about, George? We thought you were going to be champion this year, and you're 81.66 points behind Kimi Antonelli going into this Grand Prix weekend.
CameronHOST
And George's response was something like, Well, these rules and regs don't suit me because I'm a smooth driver, Alan Prost, Jenson Button style, aggressive mind.
CameronHOST
But that style depends on getting on the throttle early on the exit and through corner balance.
CameronHOST
And this year, the rears aren't very good.
Luke MartinHOST
2009, sorry, Braun GP, right? Everyone picked up on the double diffuser and the second half of the season, I think they won like one race.
Luke MartinHOST
But Jenson Button had already won too many races that they just couldn't catch up and they were still picking up points.
Luke MartinHOST
It wasn't like all of a sudden they were finishing outside the points.
Luke MartinHOST
And I think, you know, even if McLaren become the quickest car, it's not going to change.
AdamGUEST
The
JohnHOST
last person I personally remember doing something like that, apart from the Max Verstappen era, was Jenson Button.
JohnHOST
Was that in Canada? It was at the Canada or Hockenheim or something and he was more or less last on the grid and he ended up winning the race because it was against Vettel and I think it was two laps from the end and Vettel spun.
AdamGUEST
Yeah, it was Montreal at the corner just before the Wall of Champions.
48 MINS LATER
AdamGUEST
you can't expect
JohnHOST
the only team that's managed it I was going to say and came close but they won it was Braun in 2009 they're the only ones that have ever done it in my recollection
AdamGUEST
yeah I yeah that's all I can think Jenson Button yeah
JohnHOST
but I think as well with the 2009 season once the rest of the teams figured out how the double diffuser worked If they'd have figured it out two races in, Jenson wouldn't be a world champion
Andy JHOST
I'm Andy J and I'll be bringing you The Business of Formula One, a special series brought to you by PwC.
Andy JHOST
We'll explore what it takes to succeed on the track under extreme pressure with former world champion Jenson Button and examine how the sport has grown to become a multi-billion dollar global entertainment brand.
Andy JHOST
We'll also ask what businesses can learn from F1's development in tech and AI and how it's investing in the future generation of driving talent.
Andy JHOST
Listen wherever you get the business or watch Times Business YouTube from Monday the 14th of September.
Spanners ReadyHOST
even the drivers, you'd be interviewing them.
Spanners ReadyHOST
They'd say, "Oh, is there any chance of strategy, this and that?" I remember Jenson Button said, "Well, you know, obviously we'll look for opportunities, but it's Valencia." You know, that was his-
Megan SchusterHOST

Spanners ReadyHOST
... ringing endorsement of, of, of the track.
Pedro de la RosaGUEST
This one's for you.
Tom ClarksonHOST
Everyone loves an anniversary and I'm thinking of course of Hungary 2006 when he finished second to Jenson Button in the McLaren.
Tom ClarksonHOST
How vividly do you remember that weekend?
Pedro de la RosaGUEST
Honestly, I don't really remember that much.
Mike ParryHOST
And my third loser.
Mike ParryHOST
and I hate to say this because I've been a big supporter of his for the 16 years, he's been a Formula One driver, is Jenson Button, who is thinking of giving up being a Formula One motor racing driver, one of the most privileged jobs in the world, that tens of millions of young men would swap places with him at the drop of a hat for one hundredth of the money he's earned over 16 years.
Mike ParryHOST
And he's thinking of giving that up.
Mike ParryHOST
It is rumoured because he may be joining Chris Evans on the new Top Gear programme.
Mike GrahamHOST
And it's very funny.
Mike GrahamHOST
You know, some of the stuff they've done.
Mike GrahamHOST
And when you look at what Chris Evans is likely to do, whether he's got Jenson Button or not, there's no way it's going to be anywhere near as good.
Mike GrahamHOST
You don't think so? No, of course not.
