JEREZ – Jenson Button heeft op zijn helm een eerbetoon geplaatst aan zijn recent overleden vader. John Button overleed op 13 januari aan een hartaanval. De 70-jarige Brit was de grootste fan van zoonlief Jenson en reisde mee naar elke Grand Prix en elke testdag. Slechts eenmaal moest John verstek laten gaan, wegens ziekte miste hij de Braziliaanse GP van 2001. 'Papa Smurf' zoals Jenson hem liefkozend noemde, heeft een plekje gekregen op de helm van de voormalig wereldkampioen

Via Twitter toonde zijn team McLaren onderstaande foto.
