Button to be star of the show again
World champion Jenson Button will headline the AUTOSPORT International Show next week, in a very different position to his last visit to the Birmingham NEC 12 months ago
When the AUTOSPORT International Show was in full swing last year, Jenson Button's Formula 1 career was in limbo. He didn't have a drive, his team's future was as bleak as the Birmingham weather and Lewis Hamilton was Britain's biggest grand prix star after winning the world championship.
This year, things are a little different, as the NEC will rise to fete the 2009 world champion. Not many people would have guessed that, as he celebrated the title in Brazil, Button would head into 2010 as half of an all-British superteam at McLaren. Twelve months on, Jenson, who turns 30 this month, is huge news in F1. And rightly so.
