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
I keep my weight low, although you need to be able to move your weight around the race car to change the balance. Im 6ft and Im 70kg so I havent much fat on me. – Jenson Button
For me, triathlons were something that was down to me and my fitness. Now, I really enjoy the pain in the triathlon of chasing someone down. Its a bit like chasing down Nico Rosberg in the last few laps at Silverstone – it makes you feel alive. – Jenson Button
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
