A lot of people think Formula One isnt a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But were pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking, which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles. – Jenson Button
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
To drive an F1 car you have to be a little mad. On the morning of a race theres a mix of excitement and fear. If its a wet track, then its worse as youre not in control most of the time, which is the thing all drivers fear the most. – Jenson Button
The only time I think about life beyond F1 is when I contemplate becoming a dad. But theres no way thats going to happen while Im still racing. To be successful in F1 you need to be very selfish in lots of ways and youre away from home for long periods. Thats not the kind of father I want to be. – Jenson Button
