Jenson Button’s Williams ‘comeback’ is a Formula 1 feelgood story, but can he really help Williams to fulfil its ambition to return to the front of the grid in the long-term?
The 2009 world champion’s potential contribution in his role as ‘special advisor’ is discussed in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, with Scott Mitchell and Edd Straw explaining what he can offer to the team.
While Button’s skills with sponsors and the media will help him in this role, we also discuss how his experience of racing in F1 will allow him to make a contribution both in terms of the drivers and the wider organisation.
And after a brief look back at that famous F1 rookie season in 2000, and the two failed attempts to reunite the driver and team in the mid-2000s, we also ask how likely it is that he will get back behind the wheel of a Williams grand prix car.
The Race F1 Podcast is released at least once a week and available free to subscribe to from all good podcast suppliers, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
