Button reflects on his title success
From the winter of uncertainty through the highs of early domination to the tense title run-in, 2009 was a remarkable year for Jenson Button. Adam Cooper heard the champion's thoughts on how the season unfolded
Back in March 2000 my first contribution to AUTOSPORT.com was an interview conducted with Jenson Button just minutes after he crossed the line in Australia at the end of his first grand prix. It was only a short Q & A, but it was also in effect the first feature ever to run on the young site, which up until then had been purely a news outlet.
I concluded the story with the line, "Believe me, we have not heard the last of this young man." That was hardly an earth shattering example of talent spotting on my part, since Frank Williams and Patrick Head had clearly decided that he was a man with a future, and others had been singing his praises since he was in junior karts.
