Question: Which film makes you cry?
Jenson Button: Not many. Actually ‘The Notebook’ almost made me cry. And also ‘Days of Thunder’… no, not really, that was a joke.
Question: What are you afraid of?
Jenson Button: I don’t like sharks and losing, I suppose. It’s the abhorrent opposite of winning!

Question: Have you ever dyed your hair?
Jenson Button: I did it when I was younger. I was around 14. I dyed the front very blond. It looked horrible.

Jenson Button: No piercings. I have three tattoos at the moment, but I’m getting a fourth when I’m in Japan. What two of them mean I cannot tell you, it’s private and in Japanese. That one (on the right side of his hip) is a button… that’s obvious.
Question: What did your teachers say about you in your school report?
Jenson Button: I tell you what, I wasn’t so bad in lessons but I was a bit poor at concentrating. My mind always used to be thinking of something else - I was always thinking about racing.

Jenson Button: Someone I really admired was Alain Prost - his driving. I also admired Nigel (Mansell), who was always fun to watch. Outside of Formula One, there wasn’t really anybody.
