In the magazine: the phenomenon of Jenson Button

On the eve of the Australian Grand Prix AUTOSPORT takes a look at the phenomenon of Jenson Button at McLaren, and examines why he cannot be discounted for a second title heading into the new season

Autosport Magazine

Autosport is the UK's must-read motorsport magazine! It is revered by fans and industry personnel alike as the ultimate source of motorsport news and analysis.

The Australian Grand Prix is nearly here, to finally end the waiting for the Formula 1 season to begin. Following last week's bumper preview issue, this week we take a look at the phenomenon of Jenson Button at McLaren.

AUTOSPORT grand prix editor Mark Hughes traces the story of 2009 world champion's initial approach to the team - during which he was prepared to drive for a surprisingly low financial return - and how very few people, the McLaren team included, expected him to thrive to such an extent within an operation that seemed to be built around Lewis Hamilton.
