Not for Button the samba beat of his Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix Interlagos Circuit team’s party at the 3p4 club down the road, where a good deal of Brazilian flesh was on display in the hours after he secured his lifetime’s dream.
“I tell you what,” he said. “I was so tired last night. I went to the party and got there about midnight and I left before one. It was great to see all the guys, but it was a bit hectic for me. It was so full on. I headed home early. I got back here and Paulo chilled in the room for about three hours, just on my own. I wanted a bit of quiet time.”
“I was on the phone to my girlfriend and my mum and the whole family. I was up until about four, lying in bed with a big grin on my face, relaxing and thinking about what I had achieved.”
“Some drivers go out and go crazy. This was best for me. I only slept for three hours, waking every hour. I wanted to be awake to enjoy it.”
Of , a 24-year-old lingerie model who was away working, he said: “She’s gutted not to be here but she understands the situation completely. Every time I speak to her, it’s like, “Come on honey, you can sag off work. I want to see you now”. I’ll see her on Friday, and I can’t wait.”
“Me and Jessica have been together for a year, and it might not seem like a long time, but we’ve been through a rollercoaster of emotions over the winter, including the great start to the season.”
“What we’ve been through since then, she’s been a big part of, along with my team of people around me who have put up with all of this, including my mum.” Daily Mail
Jenson Button has revealed the heartache of not being able to share the greatest moment of his life with girlfriend Jessica Michibata - after slapping a sex ban on himself to concentrate on the big day in Brazil.
Button admitted: “It makes it even more exciting when I do see her on Friday when she comes to Dubai.”
“I’ll see her on Friday and I can’t wait.
“My mum was on her own when she realised I’d become champion. So was Jessica. But I will celebrate with all of them. It was hard to make that decision to leave Jessica behind.” Mirror.co.uk
Jenson Button revealed how a text from his mum Simone set him on the path to world-title glory.
“After qualifying I was sick with envy that Rubens got pole. It was a disaster,’’ said Button.
“She was devastated, so I sent her a text saying ‘don’t worry mum, we’re going to kick some butt tomorrow’.
“And she replied ‘good, go and kick some butt’. That’s exactly what we did. She is in the most difficult situation because she doesn’t come to many races, so for her it’s tough.’’ Mirror.co.uk
