Jenson Button's Engine Exploding at Australia GP, 2006

[Marcus666Sund]

0.16 Alonso - "I am really rrrrelaxed."

[StridingMan]

Sounds like a Tie FIghter

[xxApokalyptxx]

Button stopped in front of the line, because when he didn't finish the race he could substitute the engine for the next race without a penalty. The next race was Imola and he finished the race with a better result as he would have had in Melbourne when he crossed the line. So it was worthwhile to not finish the race.

[18PacWest]

50 yards from the finish line and that ends Jenson's race empty-handed.

[GOTMAXPOWER5433460]

@xxApokalyptxx Actually it backfired because he got 7th at Imola and he would've got 6th at Australia (if Fisichella had passed him so he actually lost 1 point) but tbh Honda only cared about getting a win rather than points.

Niice footage of an incredible event. Very nice!

[MrHumerousify]

i was there too...remembered people said oh wow..and people cheering after button left his car ao was a memorable day

[visual9876]

maybe he is not the best driver ever but no one will be champion without talent and jenson has talent of course otherwise he wouldnt be champion

[cdname47]

Was that Murray on circuit commentary?

Would LOVE to have heard his call of that CRAZY race!

It seems whenever Murray turns up for a guest appearance (Aus 2006, Nurburgring 2007) F1 Rewards him with a great race! :-)

Contaminaciooon para el publicooo hahahaha.

Contamination for the publiic hahahahaha

[18PacWest]

The Honda engine is engulfed in flames.

Button is $man. 10 mill dollars? Infamous champion. Hamilton is best. More best

[DinglieDonglie]

That is such an ironic comment. Jenson carved his own path through motorsport while Lewis took the corporate route, and you call JB a "$man".

10 mill dollars? What do you mean? Button's career earnings or Lewis' new Vodafone deal?

The F1 community is certainly fickle. And confused at times.

[ustiansniper]

button champion 2009 !!!!

[MerrasMies]

sadly... =(

[d0ubl3sh0t]

what everyone doesnt like his a champion ? wtf is up with you people ?

[MerrasMies]

Because we have seen that, if he got bad car, he's a bad driver. Brawn was only a amazing car

[ustiansniper]

your wrong he's got talent

[MerrasMies]

mmm... maybe, but hes not better than Hamilton, Raikkonen, Massa, Kubica or Alonso

[d0ubl3sh0t]

we'll find out next year

[DinglieDonglie]

@d0ubl3sh0t. People find it hard to swallow that he really did have it in him to win a title. The same guys who claimed he was a bad driver when the equipment let him down, now claim that any success was because he got a good car. More irony.

Jenson Button WDC 2009. I knew he'd do it. And HE did it with style!

[siants4senair]

annnnnddddd TAKE OFFFFF!!!!!!

[kingskyline]

Lmao. Only if it really did.

[colchilibeck]

yeah, he stuck it on pole and WON! what a race!

[Hiei2k7]

If button were on a good program like McLaren/Mercedes or the Ferrari Factory, he'd have a ton of wins. Instead he gets stuck into these rides which have no chance.

[Dunk300zxTT]

I'm not so sure.... He's just stuck it on pole for the 2009 Australian GP ;-)

Go Jensen!!!

[rednech23]

Button is always so unlucky.

[leejamiemellor]

its a bit like jonny herbert now button seems to have the same bad luck

[marcobarby74]

Compliments!!!

[d0ubl3sh0t]
