Jenson Button expresses envy towards Aston Martin's drivers, Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso, despite being a 2009 World Champion. Now an ambassador for Aston Martin, Button's jealousy stems from the team's chief technical officer, Adrian Newey. Known for his aerodynamic prowess, Newey has secured 26 world titles, leaving Button in awe. He admits in Jenson’s Journal, “I’d love to drive one of these new-generation cars, especially one designed by Adrian Newey.”
Button observes Newey's old-school approach, sketching ideas by hand, and admits to sneaking a peek at his notebook. As Aston Martin struggles with mechanical issues in 2026, including Stroll's qualifying mishap in Australia, Button remains supportive, focusing on the challenges posed by the new technical regulations. He emphasizes the thrill of driving in Formula One, stating, “Nothing really compares to the feeling of driving an F1 car.”
