Jenson Alexander Lyons Button was born in 19 January 1980 in Frome, Somerset, England. He was the 2009 F1 world champion. Button started his career with the Williams team in 2000, racing his first race in Australia. It was obvious from the start that he had talent, but racing for teams with uncompetitive cars, resulted in taking him several years to win his first Grand Prix, in 2006 in Hungary, with Honda.
Button competed with several different teams, during his F1 career. After his success in British Formula Ford and British Formula Three, Williams aproched Button and signed him for his first F1 season in 2000, alongside teamate Ralf Schumacher. He became Breatin's youngest ever F1 driver (by that time). Former F1 driver Gerhard Berger described Button as a "phenomenon", before his first race in Australia, as others also also praised him.
