Online: Can anyone stop Jenson now?

Jenson Button continues flying high, soaking up the mounting pressure to deliver another victory at Monaco, while his rivals left, right and centre are left with a mountain to climb

Walking back along the bridge over Rascasse just before the start of the Monaco Grand Prix, I found myself a couple of metres behind John Button. Wearing his trademark 'race day' pink shirt, and carrying the intercom headphones that help him follow the race, you could see in his body language the mixture of emotions flowing through him.

One moment he would stop to wave to cheering fans in the grandstands, smiling away as he revelled in the continuing remarkable story of Jenson's 2009 season. Then he would turn and, head down lost in thoughts, keep marching back towards the paddock - clearly nervous about the events that were due to kick off.
