I almost wrote the lad off for doing that bloody awful advert for BBCi.

But I can forgive him now.

He is in a fast car and he is making use of it. Currently fastest in practice for this weekends grand prix. Only a matter of time before he wins something at this rate.

He has the name for it though.

Jensen Button sounds like a race driver. Like Carlos Fandango, or Dirk Maserati.

David Coulthard was never going to be a champion, he sounds like a Scottish property lawyer.

Juan Pablo Montoya and Giancarlo Fisichella - born for the job.

Justin Wilson? Sounds like a lad working in the local phones4u shop.

Perhaps the name DOES matter?

Jealousy?



Mmm...

He worth more than £8 million already.

Has a pad and huge boat in Monaco.

Drives an F1 car.

Has broken through to be a leading F1 driver, and maybe even a future Ferrari driver...

He 's got access to unlimited chicks...

He's younger and fitter than nearly all of us...

What is there to be jealous about?

Hah ! He could still be an arse in spite of these things. Just a rich, fast and younger arse.

What about the best ever named F1 driver.

Give it up for Giovanni Lavaggi 1995-1996 (couple of races)

Anglophiled to - "Johnny Carwash"

Well sort of

Nigel Mansell ?

Dick Seamen?

On the JB thing - There must be more than a few Fleet Street sports sub-editors praying for a win just so they can use their head lines:

"On the Button"
"Jense pushes the right Buttons"
"Jenson Intercepts!"

By the way, he's not an Arse! He's a top bloke IMO!

Having said that, when he smiles for a long period of time, he looks like he should really be in a home!
