    I absolutely love Jensen Button, & I'll never forget that legendary drive he done winning the world F1 title. He was one of the F1 characters and I personally think we need to bring to the circuit more people like him. Great interview Chris.

    The 6R4 is designed with a normally aspirated V6 engine. It is basically a Rover V8 engine with 2 cylinders removed, along with some elements of the Cosworth DFV. The fuel injected engine, as well as the radiators, are mounted at the rear of the car where the back seats would be in a standard MG Metro.

    About 15 years ago, I was at a wedding in the South of France (Villa de Rothschild). I was staying at the Hotel Columbus and was at breakfast the morning after. All of a sudden a part of the restaurant was closed and in walks Jensen Button with some gorgeous girl. I just sat there and thought...”the life of an F1 driver...what a lucky bugger”.

    • @DanteICE
      @DanteICE 3 роки тому

      I think he's getting confused somewhat, it was a 3.0 V6, a proper cut and shut job from a V8, technically cut 2 cylinders off (the prototype at least was quite hacky). It was made by Rover and desgined by a cosworth engineer. However I think he MIGHT be getting confused with the Jaguar XJ220, which was originally spec'd with a proper V12 and most people were expecting it to be somewhat of a road going version of the XJR-9, which had raced in Le Mans a few year earlier which was a V12, but in the end they used the MG 6R4 engine, bored out to 3.5 litre and strapped a couple of turbos to it, so he might be getting two stories mixed up and the wrong way around.

      He’s a bit of a lightweight on the technical details, surprising given his dad built engines. fisichella said button was picked because he looked like he could have been in a boy band, some truth in that I think. However, he’s made good with what skills he has in life, $$$$$ in the bank.
