Jenson Button Wins Canadian Grand Prix 2011

Jenson Button hailed his astonishing drive from last to first through the rain of Montreal as the best victory of his Grand Prix career.

He survived an early high-speed clash with team-mate Lewis Hamilton to knock World Championship leader Sebastian Vettel off the top step of the podium on the very last lap

Delirious at the remarkable nature of his rain interrupted Canadian Grand Prix victory, Button said: ‘I really don’t know what to say, it’s been a very emotional three hours — or whatever it’s been since the start. I kept on pushing and I managed to get past Seb at the end. Another great win for me, the best of my career.’

A Formula 1 steering wheel is a substantial bit of kit, especially when taking into account all the things the driver has to do and think about in his car’s cockpit other than driving at full pelt for up to two solid hours in searing heat!

A plethora of knobs, buttons, levers and toggles to change settings, activate the radio, the drinks bottle, and allsorts else fill the oval form of each £20,000 wheel , which is FIA-homologated and made up exclusively of carbon fibre.

So let’s talk you through everything going on in Lewis and Jenson’s respective offices, going through the buttons and dials labelled A to H first... Phew.
