More quotes by Jenson Button
To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car, you have to be in it.
Jenson Button
If I run I lose so much weight, which I need because you're limited on weight when you are a tall driver. And have you seen marathon runners? They're quite skinny.
Jenson Button
I always think I should try to get to bed early, but then I can't stop myself from watching telly and fiddling around on the net.

It doesn't matter who wins if I don't. I only care if I win. I'm jealous of anyone else who wins.
Jenson Button
When it comes to my racing career I'm very driven and very selfish. People who are around me at races will know that I'm a different person here than in my personal life. I completely blank people at races. I need to be focused. I'm rude.

When I was in Japan with my girlfriend Jessica, she would have had acupuncture every day if she could. I can just about stomach going to a chiropractor and I visited a talented one when I was there, but when he tried a needle on me, it was horrible. My muscles tightened and it didn't work at all.

I need to develop a car and engineer a car in a position that feels comfortable for me, and I don't think anyone can do a better job than I can in that position. The problem for me is if I can't get the car there I do struggle more than some.

I haven't got the yacht any more. The cost of running it was crazy. But it was so much fun while I had it. I don't regret it.
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. I'm 6ft and I'm 70kg so I haven't much fat on me.
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 don't see the need to shout my mouth off in public.
Jenson Button
I think social networks are really working for the drivers, because we're able to talk directly to fans and they get first-hand information. And I think it's great for the partners as well and the businesses that are involved in Formula One.
Jenson Button
To drive an F1 car you have to be a little mad. On the morning of a race there's a mix of excitement and fear. If it's a wet track, then it's worse as you're not in control most of the time, which is the thing all drivers fear the most.
Jenson Button
When I do retire, I know for a fact that I'll never be able to replace the incredible feeling I get when I'm driving an F1 car.
Jenson Button
I'm world champion, baby!
Jenson Button
The fast, flowing parts, the high-speed corners, that's where a Formula One car is at its best - changes of direction, pulling high g-forces left and right.
Jenson Button
In my hometown there is a pub named after me - The Frome Flyer on Jenson Avenue. How cool is that?!
Jenson Button
My father did everything for me. He was awesome.
Jenson Button
I always sleep really well, particularly before a race, when the adrenaline's pumping.
