Limited Edition of 1002 pieces. In his first formula 1 season in the year 2000, Jenson Button was already driving for a top team that is Williams. After a small stop at Benetton he finally ended at BAR, which later became the Honda team. The British man, born on January 19th in Frome, is the Robbie Williams of motor sports, thanks to his former fianc? Louise, a pop star, who made him appear in the limelight regularly. At the moment he is engaged with the underwear model Jessica Michibata. The life of a superstar and wealthy man has sometimes swamped him, which is proven by the Buttogate affairs in 2004 and 2005: both times he had signed contracts for Williams and BAR respectively, but he refused to drive for them. Finally Honda made a buyout for a significant amount of money, an investment which would pay of later: in 2006 he won the Grand Prix of Hungary, the first victory for the Honda team and in the final third of the season he collected more points than any other driver. According to insiders he was the favourite at the start of the 2007 season, but in the end he only collected four points in a heavy disappointing season. But he proved his maturity, since in the background he tried everything to motivate the team and publicly supported them. This was more than necessary during the catastrophic season with RA108 in 2008. The time turned out to be right in 2009. Shortly before the season started Honda retired from Formula 1 and he did not know, if his career would continue at all. Button did not give up and after Brawn took over the team he accepted a salary cut and won his first World Championship title.
