Jenson Button struts his stuff on Deansgate, Manchester

One of a few short clips (thanks to a depleted battery!) of Jenson Button in his 2008 McLaren MP4-23 jumping a few red lights and obliterating the speed limit on Deansgate, Manchester.

Taken on a Panasonic Lumix G3 in HD.

Edit: Model corrected thanks to Keff02 ;)

My cousin is a Sports Agent affiliated to an international firm representing loads of big names. He’s spent the last 3yrs lobbying US congress & UK parliament to legally protect sports stars who accept bribes to throw matches/races.

He says it’s a fundamental ‘economic human right’ in a free market to accept ‘performance payments’ without penalty from the relevant sporting body. When I ask him about the fans he just laughs & calls them “stupid cattle to be milked, fucked & slaughtered”.

@SuperTruth77

Interesting concept. What's his home address as I have a fundamental economic human right to "borrow" all the stuff he has bought from representing people with such a warped sense of morality ;)

They're usually a friendly bunch at McLaren. We did some work at their factory down south and had a good look at the cars they were working on (back then was Raikkonen and Coulthard) but they were not this close and not running. :)

The handy thing abou the G3 is the camera has a moveable LCD screen, so you can hold it as high as you can and tilt it down, still being able to point it at the action; a couple of my others from eye level are just a blur of car through a small gap in the people ;D

It'd be great if his tyre gripped the road and he just went flying into the stands

Tires worn out, pitstop again. Not surprised they only lasted 9 seconds.
