On the occasion of his 44th birthday, RacingNews365 takes a look at some of the best drives of the 2009 Formula 1 World Champion.
Jenson Button is known for producing some of the best drives in modern Formula 1 history. Despite being initially dismissed as a “playboy,” he impressed in his early years with Honda, eventually earning his first victory after 113 races and winning the championship with Brawn GP in 2009. He held his own against Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso before retiring in 2016. Some of his standout drives include his unconventional pit strategy in the 2010 Australian GP, where he took a decisive victory for McLaren. He also showcased his skills in wet conditions, such as his charge from 16th to fourth place in the 2008 German GP, and his impressive performance in the 2009 Brazilian GP that secured his championship title. Another memorable drive was his victory in Monaco, where he dominated the race and even made the mistake of parking in the wrong spot at the end. Additionally, the four-hour marathon that was the 2011 Canadian GP highlighted Button’s resilience and versatility as he fought his way back from last place to take the win.
