Jenson Button made light of an embarrassing burn on a delicate part of his body on his way to victory in Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix as he and his Brawn GP team basked in being the early-season pace-setters.
Button, 29, said he suffered a burn to the top of his left buttock due to an extremely hot electrical box that generated great heat in the ambient air temperature of 370C.
“Wow, that was hot,” said the Briton after his third win of the season.

“It was really hot. All the boxes around my seat were burning. I burnt the top of my left buttock on an electrical box. It’s a little bit burnt. Hopefully we can solve that issue.” eTaiwan News
“We’ve got a tough life, we racing drivers. We didn’t expect it to be this hot. But that’s a small price to pay because it’s a very special feeling to have won this race,” he added.
Button was particularly pleased with his first lap which saw him jump up from fourth place where he started on the grid. Bild.de
