LEGENDS: Jenson Button’s first F1 win

LEGENDS: Jenson Button’s first F1 win

20 years ago, Jenson Button added his name to the illustrious list of drivers to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix, when he emerged victorious at Hungary in 2006.
A moment long overdue after multiple podiums, Jenson admits he did get to a point where he thought a win might never happen.
So how did he feel when he finally did cross the finish line and take the chequered flag first?
Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Jenson talks through the race in great detail, before describing the emotions of that huge milestone, how he celebrated and why it changed him as a driver.

Plus, the 2009 World Champion also reflects on when he was at his best in Formula 1, which driver on the current grid he relates to the most and why drivers are more insecure than we might think.
