Jenson Button MBE won the World Championship in 2009 with Brawn GP before moving to McLaren where he drives today. The 35-year-old is one of the most respected drivers in the F1 paddock. Jenson has 15 career wins to his name and 50 podiums after 284 starts.
Jenson has had some fabulous cars over the years including the Bugatti Veyron for a few months which he found to be fun but ultimately too expensive. Speaking to Times of Malta he said:
“The dream car was the Bugatti, and I owned one for a few months; it was fun while it lasted. I remember a couple of times it broke down, which was quite embarrassing in a traffic jam in the middle of London.”
“I’ve had some old cars I’ve really enjoyed, like a 1973 Porsche (911) 2.7 RS, but that didn’t like oil. It seemed to spit it out in the garage, whereas the first car I bought when I got into Formula 1 was a Ferrari 355. It was registered in 1998, I bought it in 2000, it’s done under 10,000 miles and I’ve just taken delivery again in Monaco because it’s been in storage. It’s like new.”
Below is a list of the fabulous cars that Jenson has reportedly owned over the years including the Veyron, his more practical C-Class Mercedes which he uses as his daily car and the Ferrari 355.
McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari Enzo, Bugatti Veyron (Few months Sold), Nissan GT-R, Ferrari F430 Spider, Ferrari 355, Ferrari 360, Ferrari 550 Maranello, Ford GT, C-Class Mercedes AMG.
