Button on his first term with McLaren
Jenson Button's hopes of retaining his world championship are likely to end on Sunday, but he's still in high spirits when reflecting on his first season with McLaren
For Jenson Button, the return to Brazil this weekend brings back happy memories of last year, when he finally clinched the world championship with a humble but oh-so-valuable fifth place.
As well as being a special anniversary, this could also be his last weekend as champion since Fernando Alonso can secure the 2010 crown on Sunday. Four other drivers still have a say in that and, mathematically at least, Button is still in it.
