@Andrew Pike I'm so glad to hear that. JB has always seemed to be authentic, but there's always that tiny chance that someone is a phony, but can put on an act to attempt to look good for the public. I suppose almost every F1 driver is ego driven, just the nature of the game, but some of them realize they put their pants on one leg at a time like everybody else.
My brother worked for Ferrari around the same time, he reckoned Jenson and Kimi was the most down to earth guys out of all the drivers and I also have a friend who was an assistant for Lewis Hamilton’s girlfriend and let’s just say he’s not on the same planet as Jenson, can’t deny Lewis is a great driver.
A really good interview and a very good interviewing technique too; gave Jenson plenty of time to speak and finish his points while steering the conversation with a very light touch.
This is such an excellent, in-depth, and interesting interview. The questions were very engaging and JB is gold. The whole Hamilton in the title was totally unnecessary.
In terms of driving intelligence Jenson Button was arguably the greatest. His ability to manage fuel and tyres, his smoothness, was and is, untouchable.
Lewis Hamilton's history, ability, talent, stats and ultimately his story... tells that he is arguably, not only the best driver in the world but the best ever f1 driver to date.
But you have to look at the car and the competition. There are drivers from the past who had tougher competition, like Senna who was up against some of the best drivers the sport has ever seen. In a car which didn't have a huge advantage, like Merc do at the moment.
@@BlatentlyFakeName either way lewis is definitely one of the goats. When he did have competition 14-18 as well as 07-08 he performed quite well and up to the standards of the prosts, sennas, shumachers.
Apparently, Hamilton hasn't improved himself since 2012. The Hamilton who Button went up against is nowhere near the Hamilton we see today; way more complete, way more composed, way more calculated, way more experienced. Also, any driver pairing that doesn't have to go through team orders and has the best car for an extended period of time will fall out. No question. If Alonso or Verstappen would've been placed next to Rosberg at Mercedes, the same shenanigans would've occurred between 2014-2016. The young guns like Verstappen and Leclerc keep Hamilton sharp; they're like him in his first few years in the sport; HUNGRY to beat everyone. Together with Mercedes, Hamilton is the modern and improved embodiment of the Schumacher-Ferrari partnership who took on similar young guns like Räikkönen and Montoya two decades ago. The fact that he had to get beat by the likes of Button and Rosberg, two world champions, to get where he is today is something he'll undoubtedly take for granted. It's only improved him as a whole.
But what's the point of th8s comment? Button literally says in the video that Lewis has improved a lot since they were teammates. Did you watch the video?
I remember in 2013 when Jenson took his F1 McLaren to the streets of Frome, (mine and his home town) hearing the V8 engine in real life was one of my greatest experiences
Nice clickbait title. Obviously, *"Is Lewis Hamilton a good guy?"* isn't posed to Button. Next time, use one of these: *_"Why Lewis Hamilton Hasn't Been Knighted"_* or *_"Jenson Button Will be Knighted Before Lewis Hamilton"_* ;-) 13:39 Can anyone enlighten me as to these wheel-to-wheel fights? Button was a good driver, but not in HAM's league where outright speed and wheel-to-wheel combat are concerned. It took a personal implosion, heavily influenced by matters in his private life, for HAM to lose to Button over the course of a season. No one objectively assessing 2011, HAM's racing annus horribilis, would call it otherwise. Button needed all his level-headedness and the benefit of ~7 more years in F1 to overcome an imploding HAM for that 1 season. 16:00 It's far simpler. HAM could and can still drive just about anything extremely quickly whereas Button was average when the car setup wasn't to his liking.
Fanboys like you in any sport are pretty tragic. Of course he was in his league. He outraced him on many occasions throughout the 3 years. Hamilton as button says was much more consistently fast in qualifying, although not always. Presumably you have a range of excuses for Hamilton to explain why Button was able to out qualify and out race Hamilton throughout the 3 years on different occasions. It's much simpler to just be honest and say, sometimes Button was faster/better, sometimes Hamilton was faster/better. Overall Hamilton was and had more success than Button, particularly in qualifying. It was a closely fought competition between the two.

@@catherinemorgan7836 Also, no,not everyone who criticises Button is a Hamilton fanboy. But reality is that majority of them *ARE* biased and uneducated Hamilton fanboys, including the moron that wrote the first comment
Jenson Button is one of my favorite F1 drivers. The titling of the interview with the Lewis Hamilton nonsense was right silly, I'd have watched the interview with Jenson, regardless of the Hamilton silliness.
Another mediocre racing driver with Green Eyed Monster trouble, he seemed reluctant to admit how Great Lewis is, does he not know how many world championships and pole positions he holds , Lewis is always polite, very generous and encourages all the young drivers to succeed in the future. Was very disappointed with his interview.
I wouldn't say he's better but he is still a world champion and done it with a team with little money and little hope and also beat Lewis a few times with the same machine but Jenson would have to be at his best all the time to be competitive with an off pace Lewis, now put max verstapen in the same car as Lewis and then Lewis would have problems
I’ve just finished Jensen’s book and he says that Lewis is probably the greatest of all time. He’s proud that there were a few moments in his career when he was able to beat him but Lewis set a bar that he couldn’t reach.
When they were teammates, Button was able to match an inexperienced Hamilton (comfortably beating him in 2011!). In 2012 Hamilton ironed out his flaws and has grown ever since.
Jenson you did very well against lewis but in 2 of your 3 seasons against him he was comfortably better. 2012 he finished ahead despite losing over 100 points through failures. Lets get the record straight
I've always liked Jenson. He's such a nice bloke, but here he's talking up his own race craft which doesn't suite him. Jenson you were a very good racing driver, but sorry to say you can't be measured with Hamilton. Be humble when you talk about you and Hamilton being teammates.
Bruh he definitely held his own against Lewis when they were teammates and beat him over one out of three seasons they were together (and the last one Jb was only 2 points behind). I would still say Lewis is better, but not by a massive amount and you can definitely compare the two and Jenson wasn't over hyping himself thats just the way it was.
@@maxbrennan8221 - we can call Hamilton spoiled or whatever, but he didn't feel inspired to achieve his best in a car that was far from a race winner. Button on the other hand had everyhing to win or prove. Usually Jenson is humble, but this time he was a bad looser not acknowledging Hamilton. If we set aside all the numbers, Hamilton is a much better racingdriver overall. Vettel and Rosberg are phenomenally fast over one lap and has built their racing carers on that. Button is known for his tire and fuel saving driving. But when compared to Hamilton they all lack the overtaking and racing skills. Or not to mention Hamiltons greatest asset, his racing awareness. Button being a countryman to Britain's biggest racing driver and not acknowledging him is just pathetic. Even more so when mentioning that Lewis Hamilton has a race winning car when winning all his titles. Jenson Button won his two titles in the most dominant Brawn. Listen to David Coldtardt. He was one of the cockiest drivers, but now when he's retired he praises Hamilton. So does all the British former F1 drivers but Button.
Acke I’m not playing down Hamilton’s driving at all, and I don’t think Jenson is either. In the video, he said that the Lewis he raced against is different from the Lewis of today, and of course that’s true - any sportsman changes over time. When Lewis fought for the title in 07, he lost it due to some rookie errors (he was a rookie, so it’s hard to fault him for that, but still). When he won in 08 it was far from a dominant performance as he was fighting with the Ferraris all season. Now we see him dominating the field because he’s the most complete driver on the grid, but it wasn’t always that way. Lewis was much younger than Jenson when they were team mates, and it’s fair to say that he probably learned a lot from him even though they were rivals. You don’t have to be better than someone to teach them something and Lewis probably learned a lot from Jenson’s racing style - as you mentioned, that was always a strength of his. In F1, you can’t be the best if you’re only a good qualifier, or only good on tyre management, or overtaking, or any of it. You have to be able to do it all to be successful, and Hamilton is so successful at the moment because he’s good at every aspect of racing - he’s a brilliant qualifier, fierce but fair in wheel to wheel racing, doesn’t crash a lot when making overtakes, good at managing tyres and fuel but can absolutely blitz the lap times if needed. But he didn’t always have all those skills and he probably learned not just from Jenson but all of his strong competitors along the way. Jenson isn’t failing to acknowledge Lewis’s talent, he’s just saying that back then he wasn’t the same driver he is now which is totally fair. No disrespect to either of them, I think Lewis is the better driver but Button is also very good and is 100% qualified to make the points that he did and talk in the way that he did which was very respectful and honest.
@@acke26 now whose making excuses, everyone knows Hamilton is better but you don’t need to be so butt hurt when someone gave him a challenge, I think Button was up there with Alonso and Rosberg in his most competitive team mates.
Seems abit salty about Lewis to me, To say Max has the most natural talent is out of jealousy imo, max makes way to many mistakes still lewis came straight in and won a championship. Good guy Jenson but not on that level with the greats
I think you’ve misunderstood what JB means by natural talent, his mistakes are what makes people refer to his natural talent, his mistakes are on the mental side. He’s not salty he’s giving his opinion at the time and it was shared by many. He may have a different opinion now.
Whenever jenson is asked about Lewis, He always says he was quick and then goes on for hours about how he was better than Hamilton. He always makes himself sound so much better than he actually was
the problem with comparing schumacher and hamilton is that the racing is totally different. and the mercedes dominance, i never thought we might see it, is even more dominant than the Ferraris were.
@gladbecker82 4 wheels, a steering wheel. Seems pretty similar to me. Mercedes is indeed more impressive than Schumacher/Ferrari. But when you consider the disparity in budgets between Brawn/Todt,Rory ferrari and the field versus mercedes/redbull and ferrari - I'd wager what Lewis continues to accomplish is extraordinary. Schumacher enjoyed, number 1 status, a weak teammate, by far the largest budget, infinite testing - often at 3 circuits simultaneously, bespoke tires, all backed by the might of ferrari and the FIA.
Last year I was at a show and they had a simulator of being in the race car as Jenson is driving, It went round for 2 laps and the strain on my neck after 2 rounds and they do 60 to70 laps, tough job.
I was at Silverstone back in 2012 and most of the crowd in the stands opposite the pits rooted for button when he appeared but ignored us walking straight to his garage but it was only that lewis guy who stopped and acknowledged us all at the crowd and Lewis was the only driver that waved and even gave us the thumbs up going as far as peeping through the board marker gate
I always remember the end of the 2008 season in Brazil and his 2008 Honda decided to catch fire.. It was a physical manifestation of his season. It's not over until it's over! He nearly lost his career but ended up beating Hamilton at Mclaren.
Only discovered your channel. Can imagine you too would have liked to have asked many other questions, but this is both really insightful and top quality journalism. 💥🤛🏽
I was always a JB fan throughout his F1 career. Good seasons and bad from the beginning. Probably the smoothest and fluid driving style of any driver since Prost. Had a fantastic season in 04 finishing 3rd in the championship behind the unbeatable Ferrari’s. World champion in 09 in an amazing car with a very fast team mate in Barrichello. The difference between him and Hamilton as drivers is obvious. Jenson could never find the one lap qualifying speed the way Lewis could and does. His driving style needed a virtual perfect set up or he struggled. Lewis is a more aggressive driver and it allows him to drive around a car without a perfect set up. That’s it .
Lovely guy and was fortunate enough to live near Monaco for a few years. I used to drink in the Ship and Castle in Monaco and shared a beer or 2 with his dad. Wonderful family and was sad days when he passed. Jenson was brought up the right way and a great driver
Great interview, Button in my opinion one of the nicest guys in F1, Followed his career since his first race at Williams to his last race at Maclaren . always a pleasure to see him about the paddock these days.
JB is just trolling at this point. He knows damn well that, bar Hamilton's slip ups in 2011, Hamilton outclassed him over their 3 years together and beats him by about 120 points, when driver misfortune is taken into account, which makes this whole narrative about JB outscoring Hamilton completely laughable. JB benefited from Hamilton's woeful luck a ridiculous amount of times. JB did deserve to beat Hamilton in 2011 but In 2012 alone Hamilton's misfortune stopped JB from taking an absolute thumping in the championship standings. The fact that they were only 2 points apart in 2012 is an absolute joke.
Jenson always deliberately leaves out key pieces of context to make himself look better. he’s such an arrogant bellend that disguises him by being a nice guy.
i don’t get it when people say it’s impossible to identify the best driver of all time, only because it’s hamilton. f1 is a team sport and choosing your team should be a recognised skill. f1 is formulated to find out who the best driver is at every race and over an entire season so why is it so difficult to identify the best? it wasn’t too difficult before hamilton. since when has there ever been a title “one of the winners” or “one of the champions” in f1. there has always been one winner so hamilton is the greatest of all time. button was so quick to say verstappen was the most talented, i wonder how he measured that talent. the bias is so easy to spot button.
hamilton didn't choose merc, daimler wanted heidfeld (who would be for sure atleast 2x champ against Rosberg), after Lauda had started working for merc - he was the "enforcer" of the idea to bring ham to Merc, he had to persuade hamilton, Daimler wanted a german driver in a german car, but Lauda made a "stubborn choice" and Merc considered it as a gamble
Jenson - good call on the road safety. I find it bewildering that people driving a ton, if not two tons of machinery that can kill at low speed let alone high speed. Why do people think they can ignore the highway code (UK) and drive poorly risking themselves and others. I wish the gov't here introduced a 5 year driving test. Normal test - for the same cost of a lesson. Hand your license in at the test center. Do your test. If you pass - the examiner signs your chit, or app to say you can your license back. If you are a sh*te driver - you do not collect your license. You are subject to an immediate ban. You take lessons to resit your test. Once you can prove you are no longer a danger to yourself, other car/van drivers, bikers and pedestrians - they you can have your license back. So many bad drivers now thinking they are so precious and they rules don't apply to them
He beat Lewis in one season when they were teammates so that counts. Lewis is not unbeatable (in the same car bla bla bla),he is just so good and consistent. Bottas 3.0 has a chance.
Button knows deep down in his heart, that he was just a mediocre F1 driver, who on occasion exhibited "rare moments" of greatness, combined with luck, in a rather "unspectacular" manner! - a sentiment shared by the overwhelming majority of the F1 Community (Past & Present).
@@Cal3000 Bottas' very fast, but raw talent is a determinating factor as to when you're gonna plateau in your evolution. Valtteri will always hit a wall before he can find the extra pace to beat Lewis. Nico needed Lewis' data, engineer and mechanics, and Lewis' unreliability to barely scrape by at the last race. Valtteri has had some of the same advantages and still the truth remain. Max Verstappen himself said that he is 'perplexed as to how Lewis can do all the extra curriculars and still be able to deliver at the highest level, because he himself is 💯 focus on racing only all the time'. Jenson was very good but there's a reason why he only won 1 championship and never got close again. He always embellishes his 3 year stint against Lewis at Maca. Only racers the caliber of Max have a shot at beating Lewis in the same car if they can remain consistant. Bottom line is if he stays long enough in F1 Lewis will slow down and become #2 or #3 or #4.
Driving on the phone? - easy Driving whilst drinking? (not alcohol) - easy Sorry but my Nissan GTR has a screen that's laggy and complex to use whilst driving and they come standard in most cars nowadays ffs, absolute RUBBISH.
Button is a real champion.... true talent and a true sportsmen. Thats what a champion is, not just someone who wins races but also a good example to the public and for his sport. Hamilton is great but think his still got some growing up to do. For me, of our generation Button is the best.
Just saying, but as a really, really long time Formula 1 fan, l thought it was an interesting interview. I heard details about Brawn GP, from Jensen, I had not heard before. And I was watching F1 when James Hunt and Murray Walker did the commentary.
I don’t understand the fuss surrounding Brawn. It was a rebranded Honda that had a full season of development time behind it as they were so shit in 2008. Not quite as magical as folk make out.
If you do a net worth google search Jenson comes up with a number of figures from $20m - $150m. Odd. But do the same search for Damon Hill and only one figure comes up. $30m.
Cant we just appreciate drivers for their individual achievements? So many people detracting from Jenson's win and time at mclaren with Lewis. Jenson was an excellent driver. Jenson even admits that the Lewis he was faily close to (performance wise) from 2010 to 2013 is not the same one as today.
I’m not sure I care too much about what Button has to say about Hamilton any more. Jensen HAD a lot going for him during his F1 career but that is now a distant memory. What I find a touch irritating is how much, still, the guy is being bigged up for his past achievements and his existing role as ‘an Ambassador of the sport’. Fine. But his feedback on the whole now is pretty irrelevant I believe.

GREAT interview. You asked great questions and let Button answer - no interruptions. GREAT job. Of course, he is usually a great interview - but I thought you got a lot 'out' of him. Thanks.
as jenson said about speed limit it depends on the roads motorways should be 110mph as top speed with a 15 percent limit as the speed limit a roads 70 mph not in built up areas but out of built up area 70 mph 25 mph on biult up areas and 85 mph on daul carrage ways the cars these days have better bracks and better control and handleing try 100 in a capri and it lifts up on the front same as the old cortinas and escorts feels like 140 mph at 100 in them the old jags xjs and xj was ok at those speeds
If you say so. What else did he say? There are horrendous crashes on the Autobahn. That’s what you’d get if the speed limit was 110 mph carnage. Then you’d get the usual idiots who wanted to go faster.
Lewis was for sure better in qualifying but I would point to Jenson's wet driving and tyres management skills which sometimes were the most important or at least the deciding element in some races. I'm a huge supporter of Lewis and his amazing battle to get to 7 championships. Losing to Rosberg may yet prove the most important of all his seasons, I hope it doesn't.
@@Slacky2k13 He was beaten 2-1 over 3 seasons, Hamilton beat him in 2010 by 26 pts finishing 1 race less, in 2012 he finished 3 races less and still beat him, and that was not the more complete Hamilton of today!

"Fernando's not racing anymore." Man talk about a low key slam on Indy Car.
Apparently, Hamilton hasn't improved himself since 2012. The Hamilton who Button went up against is nowhere near the Hamilton we see today; way more complete, way more composed, way more calculated, way more experienced.
Also, any driver pairing that doesn't have to go through team orders and has the best car for an extended period of time will fall out. No question. If Alonso or Verstappen would've been placed next to Rosberg at Mercedes, the same shenanigans would've occurred between 2014-2016.
The young guns like Verstappen and Leclerc keep Hamilton sharp; they're like him in his first few years in the sport; HUNGRY to beat everyone.
Together with Mercedes, Hamilton is the modern and improved embodiment of the Schumacher-Ferrari partnership who took on similar young guns like Räikkönen and Montoya two decades ago.
The fact that he had to get beat by the likes of Button and Rosberg, two world champions, to get where he is today is something he'll undoubtedly take for granted. It's only improved him as a whole.

Nice clickbait title. Obviously, *"Is Lewis Hamilton a good guy?"* isn't posed to Button. Next time, use one of these: *_"Why Lewis Hamilton Hasn't Been Knighted"_* or *_"Jenson Button Will be Knighted Before Lewis Hamilton"_* ;-)
13:39 Can anyone enlighten me as to these wheel-to-wheel fights?
Button was a good driver, but not in HAM's league where outright speed and wheel-to-wheel combat are concerned. It took a personal implosion, heavily influenced by matters in his private life, for HAM to lose to Button over the course of a season. No one objectively assessing 2011, HAM's racing annus horribilis, would call it otherwise. Button needed all his level-headedness and the benefit of ~7 more years in F1 to overcome an imploding HAM for that 1 season.
16:00 It's far simpler. HAM could and can still drive just about anything extremely quickly whereas Button was average when the car setup wasn't to his liking.
Fanboys like you in any sport are pretty tragic. Of course he was in his league. He outraced him on many occasions throughout the 3 years. Hamilton as button says was much more consistently fast in qualifying, although not always. Presumably you have a range of excuses for Hamilton to explain why Button was able to out qualify and out race Hamilton throughout the 3 years on different occasions. It's much simpler to just be honest and say, sometimes Button was faster/better, sometimes Hamilton was faster/better. Overall Hamilton was and had more success than Button, particularly in qualifying. It was a closely fought competition between the two.
It's been said that anyone who criticises BUTTON, must be a Hamilton Fanboy! . . . However, Button faced scathing criticsm from senior F1 figures long before the Hamilton era . . .

All of them were proven false, Button was more easily one of the best drivers of the modern F1 era and he is easily one of the best wet driver to ever live.
Ans he was mor ethen capable of putring up a fight with Lewis and beating him
@@catherinemorgan7836 Also, no,not everyone who criticises Button is a Hamilton fanboy.
But reality is that majority of them *ARE* biased and uneducated Hamilton fanboys, including the moron that wrote the first comment
Jenson Button is one of my favorite F1 drivers. The titling of the interview with the Lewis Hamilton nonsense was right silly, I'd have watched the interview with Jenson, regardless of the Hamilton silliness.
Another mediocre racing driver with Green Eyed Monster trouble, he seemed reluctant to admit how Great Lewis is, does he not know how many world championships and pole positions he holds , Lewis is always polite, very generous and encourages all the young drivers to succeed in the future. Was very disappointed with his interview.
12:36 the most effortless and casual call-out i have ever witnessed
Jenson trying to convince himself he is nearly as good as Lewis 😂
He's better than Lewis. But poltics made them prefur Lewis at McClaren. He wrote in his book
dave erwin that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read
I wouldn't say he's better but he is still a world champion and done it with a team with little money and little hope and also beat Lewis a few times with the same machine but Jenson would have to be at his best all the time to be competitive with an off pace Lewis, now put max verstapen in the same car as Lewis and then Lewis would have problems
I’ve just finished Jensen’s book and he says that Lewis is probably the greatest of all time. He’s proud that there were a few moments in his career when he was able to beat him but Lewis set a bar that he couldn’t reach.
When they were teammates, Button was able to match an inexperienced Hamilton (comfortably beating him in 2011!). In 2012 Hamilton ironed out his flaws and has grown ever since.
One of the nicest and most real people in F1, I hope he continues to be involved in F1 so we can keep seeing his lovely demeanour!!
Is it literally impossible for anyone to talk about Brawn without using the word fairytale?
Everything was put in place by honda ..just a silly idea on their part to run without any real sponsers for the previous two seasons (earth car )
I hear Ross is going to write children`s books when he retires...Hamsel & Russell, the fairytale of 2021...or is it 2022?
Jenson you did very well against lewis but in 2 of your 3 seasons against him he was comfortably better. 2012 he finished ahead despite losing over 100 points through failures. Lets get the record straight
I've always liked Jenson. He's such a nice bloke, but here he's talking up his own race craft which doesn't suite him.
Jenson you were a very good racing driver, but sorry to say you can't be measured with Hamilton.
Be humble when you talk about you and Hamilton being teammates.
Bruh he definitely held his own against Lewis when they were teammates and beat him over one out of three seasons they were together (and the last one Jb was only 2 points behind). I would still say Lewis is better, but not by a massive amount and you can definitely compare the two and Jenson wasn't over hyping himself thats just the way it was.
@@maxbrennan8221 - we can call Hamilton spoiled or whatever, but he didn't feel inspired to achieve his best in a car that was far from a race winner. Button on the other hand had everyhing to win or prove.
Usually Jenson is humble, but this time he was a bad looser not acknowledging Hamilton.
If we set aside all the numbers, Hamilton is a much better racingdriver overall. Vettel and Rosberg are phenomenally fast over one lap and has built their racing carers on that. Button is known for his tire and fuel saving driving. But when compared to Hamilton they all lack the overtaking and racing skills. Or not to mention Hamiltons greatest asset, his racing awareness.
Button being a countryman to Britain's biggest racing driver and not acknowledging him is just pathetic. Even more so when mentioning that Lewis Hamilton has a race winning car when winning all his titles. Jenson Button won his two titles in the most dominant Brawn.
Listen to David Coldtardt. He was one of the cockiest drivers, but now when he's retired he praises Hamilton. So does all the British former F1 drivers but Button.
Acke I’m not playing down Hamilton’s driving at all, and I don’t think Jenson is either. In the video, he said that the Lewis he raced against is different from the Lewis of today, and of course that’s true - any sportsman changes over time. When Lewis fought for the title in 07, he lost it due to some rookie errors (he was a rookie, so it’s hard to fault him for that, but still). When he won in 08 it was far from a dominant performance as he was fighting with the Ferraris all season. Now we see him dominating the field because he’s the most complete driver on the grid, but it wasn’t always that way. Lewis was much younger than Jenson when they were team mates, and it’s fair to say that he probably learned a lot from him even though they were rivals. You don’t have to be better than someone to teach them something and Lewis probably learned a lot from Jenson’s racing style - as you mentioned, that was always a strength of his. In F1, you can’t be the best if you’re only a good qualifier, or only good on tyre management, or overtaking, or any of it. You have to be able to do it all to be successful, and Hamilton is so successful at the moment because he’s good at every aspect of racing - he’s a brilliant qualifier, fierce but fair in wheel to wheel racing, doesn’t crash a lot when making overtakes, good at managing tyres and fuel but can absolutely blitz the lap times if needed. But he didn’t always have all those skills and he probably learned not just from Jenson but all of his strong competitors along the way. Jenson isn’t failing to acknowledge Lewis’s talent, he’s just saying that back then he wasn’t the same driver he is now which is totally fair. No disrespect to either of them, I think Lewis is the better driver but Button is also very good and is 100% qualified to make the points that he did and talk in the way that he did which was very respectful and honest.
@@acke26 at least Jenson had the balls :)
@@acke26 now whose making excuses, everyone knows Hamilton is better but you don’t need to be so butt hurt when someone gave him a challenge, I think Button was up there with Alonso and Rosberg in his most competitive team mates.
The most underrated driver of the 2000s
Wise words about drivers and their phones.. big respect JB!
Seems abit salty about Lewis to me, To say Max has the most natural talent is out of jealousy imo, max makes way to many mistakes still lewis came straight in and won a championship. Good guy Jenson but not on that level with the greats
I think you’ve misunderstood what JB means by natural talent, his mistakes are what makes people refer to his natural talent, his mistakes are on the mental side. He’s not salty he’s giving his opinion at the time and it was shared by many. He may have a different opinion now.
Whenever jenson is asked about Lewis, He always says he was quick and then goes on for hours about how he was better than Hamilton. He always makes himself sound so much better than he actually was
the problem with comparing schumacher and hamilton is that the racing is totally different.
and the mercedes dominance, i never thought we might see it, is even more dominant than the Ferraris were.
@gladbecker82 4 wheels, a steering wheel. Seems pretty similar to me. Mercedes is indeed more impressive than Schumacher/Ferrari. But when you consider the disparity in budgets between Brawn/Todt,Rory ferrari and the field versus mercedes/redbull and ferrari - I'd wager what Lewis continues to accomplish is extraordinary. Schumacher enjoyed, number 1 status, a weak teammate, by far the largest budget, infinite testing - often at 3 circuits simultaneously, bespoke tires, all backed by the might of ferrari and the FIA.
Last year I was at a show and they had a simulator of being in the race car as Jenson is driving, It went round for 2 laps and the strain on my neck after 2 rounds and they do 60 to70 laps, tough job.
I was at Silverstone back in 2012 and most of the crowd in the stands opposite the pits rooted for button when he appeared but ignored us walking straight to his garage but it was only that lewis guy who stopped and acknowledged us all at the crowd and Lewis was the only driver that waved and even gave us the thumbs up going as far as peeping through the board marker gate
title is dumb, interview was good
Welcome to the internet
I always remember the end of the 2008 season in Brazil and his 2008 Honda decided to catch fire.. It was a physical manifestation of his season. It's not over until it's over! He nearly lost his career but ended up beating Hamilton at Mclaren.
Interviewer "It might have been Australia, my memory is not great"
Translation "I failed to do research for this interview"
Harsh, was a very good interview by someone who seems like he knows and understands F1
Only discovered your channel. Can imagine you too would have liked to have asked many other questions, but this is both really insightful and top quality journalism. 💥🤛🏽
Imagine flooring your supercar, losing control and bumping an F1 Champ. What a spanner he must have felt.
I was always a JB fan throughout his F1 career. Good seasons and bad from the beginning. Probably the smoothest and fluid driving style of any driver since Prost. Had a fantastic season in 04 finishing 3rd in the championship behind the unbeatable Ferrari’s. World champion in 09 in an amazing car with a very fast team mate in Barrichello. The difference between him and Hamilton as drivers is obvious. Jenson could never find the one lap qualifying speed the way Lewis could and does. His driving style needed a virtual perfect set up or he struggled. Lewis is a more aggressive driver and it allows him to drive around a car without a perfect set up. That’s it .
Lovely guy and was fortunate enough to live near Monaco for a few years. I used to drink in the Ship and Castle in Monaco and shared a beer or 2 with his dad. Wonderful family and was sad days when he passed. Jenson was brought up the right way and a great driver
To me the best F1 driver all round great guy 😀

Great interview, Button in my opinion one of the nicest guys in F1, Followed his career since his first race at Williams to his last race at Maclaren . always a pleasure to see him about the paddock these days.
A credit to British Motorsport. Really good bloke.
A true legend of the sport! I miss his presence on the grid (and Alonso too)!
Your dream came true
Jenson has always been my hero since I watched his debut..
How him and Jos Buttler arnt brothers is beyond me, they looks and sound so similar
All brits are like this
Both are from Somerset!
Interesting interview. What’s with the click bait title?
JB and road safety. 100% phones are a killer.
JB is just trolling at this point. He knows damn well that, bar Hamilton's slip ups in 2011, Hamilton outclassed him over their 3 years together and beats him by about 120 points, when driver misfortune is taken into account, which makes this whole narrative about JB outscoring Hamilton completely laughable. JB benefited from Hamilton's woeful luck a ridiculous amount of times.
JB did deserve to beat Hamilton in 2011 but In 2012 alone Hamilton's misfortune stopped JB from taking an absolute thumping in the championship standings. The fact that they were only 2 points apart in 2012 is an absolute joke.
Oh he knows it, as do the journalists. It just doesn't suit their narrative to give Lewis his flowers while he is still in the sport.
Jenson always deliberately leaves out key pieces of context to make himself look better. he’s such an arrogant bellend that disguises him by being a nice guy.
Jensen has the most contagious smile
i don’t get it when people say it’s impossible to identify the best driver of all time, only because it’s hamilton.
f1 is a team sport and choosing your team should be a recognised skill. f1 is formulated to find out who the best driver is at every race and over an entire season so why is it so difficult to identify the best? it wasn’t too difficult before hamilton.
since when has there ever been a title “one of the winners” or “one of the champions” in f1. there has always been one winner so hamilton is the greatest of all time.
button was so quick to say verstappen was the most talented, i wonder how he measured that talent. the bias is so easy to spot button.
hamilton didn't choose merc, daimler wanted heidfeld (who would be for sure atleast 2x champ against Rosberg), after Lauda had started working for merc - he was the "enforcer" of the idea to bring ham to Merc, he had to persuade hamilton, Daimler wanted a german driver in a german car, but Lauda made a "stubborn choice" and Merc considered it as a gamble
imagine street racing and crashing into a F1 world champion hahah
Yeah. Difficult to blame the other guy's lack of driving skill...
I'm still waiting for a journalist to be bold enough to admit the Canada 2011 crash with Lewis was Jenson's fault.
Jenson's still one of my all time favourite drivers
Jenson - good call on the road safety. I find it bewildering that people driving a ton, if not two tons of machinery that can kill at low speed let alone high speed. Why do people think they can ignore the highway code (UK) and drive poorly risking themselves and others. I wish the gov't here introduced a 5 year driving test. Normal test - for the same cost of a lesson. Hand your license in at the test center. Do your test. If you pass - the examiner signs your chit, or app to say you can your license back. If you are a sh*te driver - you do not collect your license. You are subject to an immediate ban. You take lessons to resit your test. Once you can prove you are no longer a danger to yourself, other car/van drivers, bikers and pedestrians - they you can have your license back. So many bad drivers now thinking they are so precious and they rules don't apply to them
Great interview!
In all honestly, Brawn GP would make a good movie (if done right)
All I could concentrate on was the interviewere nose blowing on the mic as Jenson spoke
He beat Lewis in one season when they were teammates so that counts. Lewis is not unbeatable (in the same car bla bla bla),he is just so good and consistent. Bottas 3.0 has a chance.
agreed...bottas tho? naah
@@truth4reel I'm a Hamilton fan and I think Bottas is really good and has a chance. He is heavily slept on.
Button knows deep down in his heart, that he was just a mediocre F1 driver, who on occasion exhibited "rare moments" of greatness, combined with luck, in a rather "unspectacular" manner! - a sentiment shared by the overwhelming majority of the F1 Community (Past & Present).
@@Cal3000 Bottas' very fast, but raw talent is a determinating factor as to when you're gonna plateau in your evolution. Valtteri will always hit a wall before he can find the extra pace to beat Lewis. Nico needed Lewis' data, engineer and mechanics, and Lewis' unreliability to barely scrape by at the last race. Valtteri has had some of the same advantages and still the truth remain. Max Verstappen himself said that he is 'perplexed as to how Lewis can do all the extra curriculars and still be able to deliver at the highest level, because he himself is 💯 focus on racing only all the time'. Jenson was very good but there's a reason why he only won 1 championship and never got close again. He always embellishes his 3 year stint against Lewis at Maca. Only racers the caliber of Max have a shot at beating Lewis in the same car if they can remain consistant. Bottom line is if he stays long enough in F1 Lewis will slow down and become #2 or #3 or #4.
Driving on the phone? - easy

Funny I'm not a native English speaker but I feel like his accent is half British and half other like American or Australian
Very good of Henson on road safety. Minute 27
Manc Flyer who’s Henson!?
Button is a real champion.... true talent and a true sportsmen. Thats what a champion is, not just someone who wins races but also a good example to the public and for his sport.
Hamilton is great but think his still got some growing up to do. For me, of our generation Button is the best.
Damn, you got some balls to say that
Lewis and Jenson had a decent relationship
Who is Max Gasly? (In the chapter labels)
Button give great interviews... so long as the interviewer is good as well.
One of the great drivers and a gentleman
Good bloke and that is why he only won one championship
He destroyed you in 2012 jenson, the fact you think youre better than him is unbelievable.
"you dont need to be drinking your coffee when you drive you need to focus"
How tf am I supposed to focus if I dont have coffee in me tho?
Just saying, but as a really, really long time Formula 1 fan, l thought it was an interesting interview. I heard details about Brawn GP, from Jensen, I had not heard before. And I was watching F1 when James Hunt and Murray Walker did the commentary.
Soooooo,
russel kinda reminds of button
and lando like hamilton...
I don’t understand the fuss surrounding Brawn. It was a rebranded Honda that had a full season of development time behind it as they were so shit in 2008. Not quite as magical as folk make out.
"Focus and understand your surroundings"
This would get more views without that stupid title
If you do a net worth google search Jenson comes up with a number of figures from $20m - $150m. Odd. But do the same search for Damon Hill and only one figure comes up. $30m.
Cant we just appreciate drivers for their individual achievements? So many people detracting from Jenson's win and time at mclaren with Lewis. Jenson was an excellent driver.
Jenson even admits that the Lewis he was faily close to (performance wise) from 2010 to 2013 is not the same one as today.
Canada!! I still love that race
I’m not sure I care too much about what Button has to say about Hamilton any more. Jensen HAD a lot going for him during his F1 career but that is now a distant memory. What I find a touch irritating is how much, still, the guy is being bigged up for his past achievements and his existing role as ‘an Ambassador of the sport’. Fine. But his feedback on the whole now is pretty irrelevant I believe.
No surprise to see hamilton fans bashing another driver

Of course, he is usually a great interview - but I thought you got a lot 'out' of him.
Thanks.
I don't think Lewis is really better than Button. Look at 2011
Look how much this guy achieved in his career and you can't present this interview as just being about him? So disrespectful.

Great guy
British they want to compare Lewis to button. Button. Is like uber6b drive. Campare to lewis.
I wish Braun had kept going.
Question in the title doesn't get asked. Downvote this timewasting clickbait crap.
clickbait the title might be but still a great intreview with Jenson
as jenson said about speed limit it depends on the roads motorways should be 110mph as top speed with a 15 percent limit as the speed limit a roads 70 mph not in built up areas but out of built up area 70 mph 25 mph on biult up areas and 85 mph on daul carrage ways the cars these days have better bracks and better control and handleing try 100 in a capri and it lifts up on the front same as the old cortinas and escorts feels like 140 mph at 100 in them the old jags xjs and xj was ok at those speeds
If you say so. What else did he say? There are horrendous crashes on the Autobahn. That’s what you’d get if the speed limit was 110 mph carnage. Then you’d get the usual idiots who wanted to go faster.
Over the 3 years Lewis made you look like a numpty! In qualifying, over the race distances. Get over it!
Lewis was for sure better in qualifying but I would point to Jenson's wet driving and tyres management skills which sometimes were the most important or at least the deciding element in some races. I'm a huge supporter of Lewis and his amazing battle to get to 7 championships. Losing to Rosberg may yet prove the most important of all his seasons, I hope it doesn't.
... except he outscored him in the 3 years, some numpty to beat the greatest driver of this generation in the same car.
@@Slacky2k13 He was beaten 2-1 over 3 seasons, Hamilton beat him in 2010 by 26 pts finishing 1 race less, in 2012 he finished 3 races less and still beat him, and that was not the more complete Hamilton of today!
Going to see Spa 2012 :)
jenson is a hero of mine, there's nothing i dont like about him
clickbait title, he never asks the question
on the phone instant ban ???? this should be the same as drink driving ???? wankers ???
Anyone getting annoyed by the interviewers breathing down the mic
One glance at your phone...then bang !! could it be another car or a person, why take the chance? totally with Jenson on this one, you should lose your license !!
Ok, you've got a supercar, and you think you can drive. You just crashed it into Jenson Button. Would have loved to have seen that guy's face!
