Buyagift’s top 5 driving days to emulate Jenson Button…

You could have cut yesterday’s atmosphere with a knife. Sharing the same expression that seemed to ask ‘Can he really do it?’, we witnessed a fight back of epic proportions that Rocky Balboa would’ve been proud of. For those of us who live and breathe motor racing, yesterday’s events at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo, Brazil made for a historic day as Jenson Button became the tenth British driver to win the Formula One World Driver’s Championship.Having started the season with a record six victories from seven races, Jenson Button went into Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix placed in 14th position. After skilfully navigating his Brawn GP past a series of drivers including teammate Rubens Barrichello, Button finished 5th, scoring enough points to secure the title with a race to spare.
