Jenson Button Wins Canadian Grand Prix 2011

2011-06-13T00:53:00.005+01:00

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.’

This was undoubtedly not the way Sebastian Vettel planned on getting his weekend started.

Vettel, a winner of five of the season's six Grands Prix, crashed and destroyed the entire front end of his Red Bull RB7 car in Friday morning's opening practice at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

The reigning World Champion added to the Montreal Wall of Champions' legend by losing control and wrecking at the famous final chicane, bringing out a red flag with an hour still left in the 90-minute session.

Mclaren F1 2011 Spec Steering Wheel : Click The Picture To Enlarge

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.

Why the Monaco Grand Prix still packs a punch

2011-05-28T15:07:00.002+01:00

Once a year Formula 1 absolutely lives up to its billing as the most glamorous sport in the world and that time comes at the Monaco Grand Prix.

On Friday morning, I had to gingerly step aboard a tender and then climb a rope ladder dangling from the side of a yacht to interview Renault's Nick Heidfeld on deck. Yes, this really could only happen in Monaco.

Without a doubt, the glamour and prestige of the tiny principality, where residents are required to have a significant sum in the bank, inflates F1's wow factor.

"I love it here, it is fantastic," crooned Lewis Hamilton, a Monaco race-winner in 2008 for McLaren. "Wow, this is such a beautiful place to be."
