  • When I do retire, I know for a fact that I'll never be able to replace the incredible feeling I get when I'm driving an F1 car.

  • I need to develop a car and engineer a car in a position that feels comfortable for me, and I don't think anyone can do a better job than I can in that position. The problem for me is if I can't get the car there I do struggle more than some.

  • I always sleep really well, particularly before a race, when the adrenaline's pumping.

    "Jenson Button". Interview with Laura Potter, www.theguardian.com. December 5, 2009.
  • Women don't get the same opportunities that men get in racing, so they don't get to learn race craft.

  • The only time I think about life beyond F1 is when I contemplate becoming a dad. But there's no way that's going to happen while I'm still racing. To be successful in F1 you need to be very selfish in lots of ways and you're away from home for long periods. That's not the kind of father I want to be.

  • I've spent as much as 30 grand on a watch but it's not about flaunting my wealth. I don't have many extravagances but watches are my biggest one. I must have 30 of them now. I've been collecting since the age of nine, when I won a black TAG in a karting event.

  • When you're in a car which can win every race, or fight for a win every race, that is pressure.

  • I love cycling, running and swimming. In recent years I've competed regularly in triathlons, which means I don't find the physical side of driving a struggle any more.

  • I don't purposely speed, but I might go over by five or six miles an hour from time to time. It doesn't give me a buzz driving on normal roads, because I can't go fast enough. It's never going to be anything like an F1 car.

  • I always think I should try to get to bed early, but then I can't stop myself from watching telly and fiddling around on the net.

  • If I ever have a son, and if he wants to follow in my footsteps in Formula 1, my main responsibility will be to point out some of the negatives.

  • It doesn't matter how much money you've got, or how many connections, there's always something you want that's out of reach.

  • I like old tunes when I'm driving. They're fun and uplifting. Billy Ocean, that kind of thing.

  • I'm world champion, baby!

    "Champion Button looks to the future with Brawn", www.cnn.com. October 19, 2009.
  • Resting for me is fitness training.

  • We all drive differently and have different styles. For me I need a car I can develop beneath me and feel comfortable in. If the car feels neutral and unbalanced it doesn't work for me.

  • When I was in Japan with my girlfriend Jessica, she would have had acupuncture every day if she could. I can just about stomach going to a chiropractor and I visited a talented one when I was there, but when he tried a needle on me, it was horrible. My muscles tightened and it didn't work at all.

  • I think fans of the sport have a good understanding now of how fit Formula One drivers need to be.

  • To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car, you have to be in it. When you're driving a 750hp machine at 320km/h, the noise and the vibrations are incredible. The G-force when you take big corners is like someone trying to rip your head off. You hit the brakes, and it feels as if the skin is being pulled off your body.

  • It doesn't matter who wins if I don't. I only care if I win. I'm jealous of anyone else who wins.

  • To drive an F1 car you have to be a little mad. On the morning of a race there's a mix of excitement and fear. If it's a wet track, then it's worse as you're not in control most of the time, which is the thing all drivers fear the most.

  • In the car and in front of the camera I tend to be very calm but behind the scenes I can get fired up and passionate, I just don't see the need to shout my mouth off in public.

  • I can't eat whatever I want, definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons, not just Formula One, so I always make sure I eat the right things.

  • I felt confident at 24, but I am a better driver now.

  • For me, triathlons were something that was down to me and my fitness. Now, I really enjoy the pain in the triathlon of chasing someone down. It's a bit like chasing down Nico Rosberg in the last few laps at Silverstone - it makes you feel alive.

  • If someone was making a movie about F1 in the last six months, they wouldn't need to add a Hollywood ending. If they do make that movie, it's got to be 'The Curious Case Of ,' where I've lived my life backwards. I'd like Johnny Depp to play me but he wouldn't be quite right.

  • I haven't got the yacht any more. The cost of running it was crazy. But it was so much fun while I had it. I don't regret it.

  • A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking, which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.

    "Button your lip" by Rachel Cooke, www.theguardian.com. March 5, 2005.
  • In my hometown there is a pub named after me - The Frome Flyer on Jenson Avenue. How cool is that?!

  • My school reports always used to point out that my concentration levels were appalling. I never listened in class because I was always daydreaming about racing. I never thought for a moment about doing anything else. There was no guarantee that I'd make a career in it but I never had any plan B.
