Few drivers’ Formula 1 careers have had fluctuations as wild as Jenson Button’s.
From the huge promise of his debut with Williams as a 20-year-old to the crushing low of Benetton immediately afterwards, to all manner of lows and highs with BAR/Honda, then the Brawn fairytale and a long stint at McLaren where he went from surprising against Lewis Hamilton to struggling with Honda power.
In this video, Edd Straw gives every single one of Button’s F1 campaigns a mark out of 10 as he assesses the 2009 world champion’s achievements and tribulations.
If this gets you in the mood for more about Button, watch out for episode one of series three of our Bring Back V10s podcast on Thursday – which focuses on his and BAR-Honda’s breakthrough 2004 season, and his attempt to jump ship to Williams during it.
