The fast, flowing parts, the high-speed corners, thats where a Formula One car is at its best – changes of direction, pulling high g-forces left and right. – Jenson Button
When Im on my own, I can be negative. I need my friends and family around to help pick me up if Ive had a bad qualifying session. I think insecurity plagues a lot of sportspeople. – Jenson Button
Youre pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car, and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%. – Jenson Button
In the car and in front of the camera I tend to be very calm but behind the scenes I can get fired up and passionate, I just dont see the need to shout my mouth off in public. – Jenson Button
On one level, nothings really changed in my life. I still drive my daughter in the car pool on Monday. But its impossible not to be aware of this rush of attention its impossible not to be seduced by it once youve entered into it, seduced by being unhappy when the attention wanes. – Michael Tolkin
