Jenson Button is a former British Formula 1 driver. In his F1 career which lasted for 18 long years, he managed to win the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship, driving for Brawn GP team on their sensational F1 debut season. The team later became the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 from the 2010 season.
Jenson made a statement in 2016 that he would bid adieu to the sport by the end of the season but remained with McLaren as a reserve driver and also the ambassador of the same until 2018. Button's last F1 race was when he made his single appearance in the 2017 Monaco Grand Prix replacing Fernando Alonso at McLaren who was driving in the Indy500 race on the same weekend. Button currently races for Japanese Super GT Series for the team Kunimitsu.

BAR was renamed HONDA for 2006 season where he first tasted victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix after 113 race starts. He drove for Honda till 2008 and for the year 2009, Honda went on to become Brawn GP headed by Ross Brawn, where he clinched his maiden and only World Championship title.
He will be remembered for his extraordinary performance in the Canadian GP 2011 with McLaren where he started last on the grid and eventually went to claim the win. From the year 2010-17, he drove with McLaren. Apart from decent F1 career, Button is one of the most flamboyant drivers in F1 with dashing looks and amazing fitness. His choice of cars is a dream list for most car fanatics, the man is fond of luxury in and out and his choice of automobiles is simply made of dreams
# The Classic - Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0L,8V
Like the saying goes " No matter where life takes you, don't forget where you come from" Jenson Button still loves the first car he ever bought, a Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0 L 8 Valve and he said in an interview with Top Gear that he couldn't get the 2.0L16 Valve because he couldn't afford it at that time. He got this car for £2000 Euros which he received as a winning amount from Karting and customized it by putting 17 wheels, Sachs Suspension and speakers in it and it drove too well for him.
# The stylish- Ferrari 355 GTS
The next car Button bought was a prancing horse from the Italian stable, a Ferrari 355 GTS which was yellow in color and he got this when he started off in Formula One and he was merely 19years old. The GTS sounds incredible and Jenson enjoyed driving it in Monaco for a few years. The 8 cylinders under the hood of this Ferrari boasts of 381 hp/8250 rpm and can reach up to a speed of 295km/h. This is also one of his personal favorites.
#The Luxurious & the Style Statement - Buggati Veyron
The first supercar bought by Jenson Button, the tag fastest street-legal car in the world at that point of time would have been more than enough to convince him. The ultra-luxurious Buggati Veyron which he owned for about two months, but later he couldn't deal with the insurance and maintenance costs and hence after some time, he had to sell it. The Veyron has 8.0 L (488 cu in) quad-turbocharged W16 engine mated with a 7-speed DSG transmission which makes it one fastest and luxurious cars on the planet.
#The eye-catcher - Ferrari Enzo
Next in his dream collection is a supercar named after the founder of Ferrari, a Ferrari Enzo which is a 12 cylinder mid-engine supercar. This car under the skin has a lot adapted from the F1 cars such a carbon fiber bodywork, electrohydraulic sequential F1 transmission, limited slip differential, front and rear pushrod-actuated double wishbones with horizontal external reservoir coil-spring dampers, ceramic composite ventilated disc brakes and more. The 6.0L V12 is capable of doing 0-100Kmph in about 3.1 seconds. However, Button had it only for 2 weeks because he said: "it only looks like a race car but actually is not." It costs a whopping $659,330.
#Super elegant- Porsche 911 GT2 RS
The Porsche GT2RS which he says, he didn't drive much. It is said to be one of those cars which are really powerful due to the well-equipped ultra modern mechanism in it, saving a lot on energy consumption. It is powered by a 3.8 L twin-turbocharged flat-6 engine that produces a whooping of 700 PS at 7,000 rpm and 750 Nm torque. The GT2 RS boasts of an astounding 172 HP per liter channeled to the rear wheels through a six-speed dual clutch transmission. It is the fastest 911 ever produced!
Even this one didn't remain with him for too long and he sold it. However, in due course of time, he also owned 2 vans which he got customized.
While one of these cars would tick the dream car list of millions of people around the world. Jenson Button has a dream list too, he quoted - "There are two dream cars that I’ll never own, because of how expensive they are already. One is the McLaren F1, the other is the Ferrari 250 GTO."
