A Phoenix From The Honda Ashes - Jenson Button Autographed Picture Born on the 19th of January 1980 in the town of Frome in Somerset, Jenson Button started karting when he was 8 years old and achieved early success. In 1998 Jenson entered the Formula Ford championship and won it in his first season. The following year he moved in to the British Formula 3 Championship where he finished 3rd but would be poised to make his Formula 1 debut for the Williams team in 2000. In the years that followed, Jenson would drive for Benneton, Renault, BAR and eventually the Honda works team where he achieved his first Formula 1 win at Hungary in 2006. Jenson has some great seasons in Formula 1, ending the Championship in 3rd place in 2004, but in 2008 the real underdog story would begin. At the end of the 2008 season, Honda decided to pull the plug on their racing team. The team, the staff and even the drivers had no place in the Formula 1 season for 2009. The drivers, Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, were left without seats and with no time to find new teams, but then a management buy-out led by team principal, Ross Brawn, and chief executive, Nick Fry, would secure the team for the 2009 season under the new name of Brawn GP. With a raft of rule changes for the 2009 season, to say Brawn GP made the most of them and hit the ground running is a huge understatement. Their car came to testing and was the outstanding package of pre-season, something that would carry on in the first half of the 2009 season, leading the team to 8 victories and the first ever championship double for a debut team, with Jenson Button taking the World Drivers Championship by 11 points from a resurgent Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel and now is your chance to own this amazing Jenson Button Autographed Picture celebrating that World Championship. Moving to McLaren for the 2010 season, Jenson Button partnered legendary Formula 1 driver, Lewis Hamilton for the next three seasons. Lewis is without doubt, one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, but we feel Jenson is quite underrated, considering in their three seasons together, Jenson actually outscored Lewis 672 to 657. Jenson Button is an amazing driver, and retired from Formula 1 in 2017 after making his final appearance for McLaren in the 2017 Monaco Grand Prix as a stand-in for Fernando Alonso. His World Title will always be remembered as the story of the true phoenix rising from the ashes of Formula 1 and this Jenson Button Autographed Picture will be a memory to cherish of a historic team, season and driver.
