Jenson Button

Jenson Button - current F1 Championship leader.

JB first drove in Formula One in the 2000 Season with the Williams team before switching to Benetton in 2001. In 2002 Benetton became Renault F1. He next moved to British American Racing (BAR) in 2003. BAR were subsequently renamed Honda for the 2006 Season and Button won his first Grand Prix in Hungary, on 6 August 2006, after 113 races. Following the withdrawal of Honda from the sport in December 2008, he was left without a drive for the 2009 season until Ross Brawn led a management buyout of the team and Button suddenly found himself in a highly competitive, Mercedes-engined car. He went on to win six of the first seven races of the season, equalling a record achieved by only two other drivers, Michael Schumacher and Jim Clark.
