Jenson Button sings no regrets

Jenson Button came into this season with just one meagre win from 153 grands prix, yet even with the benefit of hindsight he admits he would not change a thing.

The Brawn driver, who goes into Sunday's British Grand Prix with a 26-point lead in the race for the driver's title, is more than happy to have trodden a difficult career path.

Ahead of the Sunday's British Grand Prix, which will see him sporting a special Union Jack-themed helmet, he said: "Even though I've been through a lot of tough times in the past, I've always said I think the decisions I have made, or what I have had to deal with, I wouldn't change it as it makes you who you are.

"Now I have the opportunity to show and to achieve with a very good team and a very good car, and in a way it makes it very sweet for me.

"I have been in Formula One for nine years now, and I felt ready to win races. I now have the team that gives me the opportunity to fight for race victories almost every weekend."
