The Following Year Jenson Button Switched To Benetton Which In 2002 Became Renault
The following year he switched to Benetton, which in 2002 became Renault, and then for the 2003 season he moved to BAR. Following the withdrawal of Honda from the sport in December 2008, he was left without a drive for the 2009 season, until Ross Brawn led a management buyout of the team in February 2009, and Button suddenly found himself in a highly competitive, Mercedes-engined car. For 2010, he moved to McLaren, partnering fellow British racer and former World Champion Lewis Hamilton. He was named after his father’s friend Erling Jensen, changing the “e” to an “o” to differentiate it from Jensen Motors.
