01 Jun 2014|2,775 views
Jenson Button, the 2009 Formula One World Champion, will return to the Goodwood Festival of Speed on June 26-29, where he is sure to provide one of the event's star attractions.
Button, 34, fits in perfectly with the Festival of Speed's 2014 theme: Addicted to Winning. Since being catapulted into Formula One less than three years since first driving a racing car, Button - now in his 15th season at the top level - has achieved phenomenal success.
Button is no stranger to the Festival of Speed and has attended 14 times previously, driving machinery as diverse as a 1970 Can-Am McLaren M8D, a P1 supercar and Alain Prost's 1986 title-winning grand prix car. This year, McLarens attending the event include M23, MP4/2 and MP4-26 Formula One machines.
Button is the third ex-Formula One World Champion to confirm his attendance at this year's Festival of Speed, joining fellow Briton John Surtees and Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi - who will celebrate 40 years since McLaren’s maiden drivers' world championship by driving the M23 in which he claimed the 1974 title.
Jenson Button said, "Goodwood is one of the highlights of my season. I've had the chance to get behind the wheel of some incredible historic racing cars there, which I'd never have been able to drive otherwise, and to meet some of the most enthusiastic fans, who have given me a tremendous amount of support over the years. I'm really looking forward to it."
