I've added the 2005 season to the table at the bottom, but this doesn't seem to match (m)any of the other drivers - should this be in this format? Happy to redo if necessary, someone let me know in here... NickF 22:12, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Jenson and teammate Takuma Sato were DQ'd for underweight cars...

Button will start his 100th race start in the 2005-China race. But according to wikipedia when doing the math by adding all Button race starts it would be his 101st race start in China as Button has been listed as Ret instead of DNS for this year 2005-USA race. Andreasu 03 October 2005 12:02
I haven't got the exact quotes, but Jenson said something about women drivers in F1 to FHM. Does anyone have the actual quotes, i can't remeber them, i don't read FHM and I got this of my motorsport info sources. Duke toaster 18:56, 27 October 2005 (UTC) yeah i remember this .,
it was to do with bernie eccolstones comments and jenson said women werent emotionally able to drive as what would happen when they had their period. i thought it was in F1 racing though not in FHM — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minnii93 (talk • contribs) 01:20, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
In '02, JB became the youngest driver with 50 F1 starts (or so I heard...). Trekphiler 08:54, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but if Jenson cannot talk about non-Honda cars that he owns then we can't say he owns them! I'm removing that and the part about him being good-looking as completely irrelevent. If anyone wants to discuss this I am quite happy to do so.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Suzanne03 (talk • contribs)
I know Jenson doesn't read this (or maybe he does...anyway) a very big congratulations on winning in Hungary. It was long overdue and he fully deserved it after so many years of being probably the unluckiest driver in F1. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.177.28.141 (talk • contribs)
I have removed the "EX" from the two races in 2005 that BAR were banned from entering. The team was excluded, not the drivers. Bretonbanquet 21:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Can someone please edit this part of the article to conform more to the previous formats? Thanks. Mogweist 23:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
It says in the article that Jenson Button is a Britsol City fan, however, there is no reference for this. Secondly, according to this interview he is a big Arsenal fan. Now, I know that this is vaguely allowed in an article, but then again most people who follow F1 also follow Football (and I mean most, not all!) so it could be considered to be allowed into the article.

'Most' F1 drivers live in Monaco ? Evidence ?

Shouldn't Jenson's nickname 'Gents' be 'Jense'? I've actually seen the latter in writing, but never the former. Lustigson (talk) 15:32, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

"Button was engaged to English pop singer and actress Louise Griffiths for two years. Their relationship ended in April 2005, and his socialising with friend David Coulthard became tabloid fodder." Sounds a bit like Button had a sexual relationship with Coulthard. Perhaps some rephrasing is in order? — Cheers, Truth's Out There –talk– 14:17, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Button took from November 2006 to March 2009 to record first and second F1 wins. Given that 1st wins are usually quickly followed by the 2nd, since the car is competitive or the driver at the top of their game, is it unusual to have a gap of two intervening seasons between wins? Is there any stats for this or other drivers to refer to? LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:53, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Perhaps it could be mentioned that Jenson took a large pay cut from his Honda contract during the management buy-out that created Brawn? -137.222.114.243 (talk) 12:13, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I've just gone through the article and cut out quite a lot of what I think is inappropriate structure. The article was tending towards the situation in which paragraphs were often only one or two sentences, and sections only one or two paragraphs. I think this really breaks up the text, making it hard to read as an article, although easy to pick out individual points, and does not match what some (not all) of our F1 Featured Articles look like (See Damon Hill and Brabham). Others do use a similar device, but not as actual headers (Alain Prost and Tom Pryce). Might be useful to discuss here if anyone feels strongly the other way. If you feel really, really strongly, put the headings back and then we can discuss it. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 18:05, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
I see the article is locked for editting, but to whoever can make changes: Jenson made up five places during lap 1, from 14th up to 9th, then after the safety car was quickly up to p7, before getting stuck for several laps behind Kobayashi - so more than the 'three positions in the opening laps' the article currently says.

Added Recentism tag; Not enough info on early F1 career with Williams/Benetton/Renault years almost missing in action. Mattg82 (talk) 01:52, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
The first reason that "EX" is not applicable to the two races in 2005 that Button missed is that he was not personally banned from competing. His team, BAR, were banned, but the drivers were free to drive for other teams if they had wished to do so. This being a driver results table, "EX" is the incorrect term. Secondly, "EX" refers to exclusions from a GP meeting once it has already started, but before the race, e.g. for infringements during practice or qualifying. It is not common any more but it used to happen a lot. If a driver is banned from competing, he is not on the entry list, therefore there would be no entry at all for that race.

I saw my change removing the flagicons on the infoboxes had been reverted - but the guideline quoted to justify this was for use of a general flagicon use within the article (i.e. where someone represents a specific country at a sporting event), not for someone’s nationalities and not on their infobox – which has its own specific guidlines within the flags section;
"Avoid flag icons in infoboxes As a rule of thumb, flag icons should not be used infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many. The guidelines for a number of common infoboxes (eg. Template:Infobox company, Template:Infobox film, Template:Infobox person) explicitly ban the use of flag icons."
If you feel a special case should be made for some individuals, please make the case on the WP:Flagicon talk page (there's been a discussion on there already for 'Flag in Infobox').
On a personal note I don’t disagree with the editor that flagicons are a nice visual aid - but I can understand why the general consensus has been to take them out for nationalities in infoboxes – so to try to ensure consistency across the encyclopaedia I've retaken them out.

Seen this changes I’m surprised to see the ole info about Jenson’s name back again… BTW, I know both, John Button as well as Dane Erling Jensen and, as a journalist specialised in Rallycross, trusted the info myself. But if his father’s and mother’s claims are different IMO the info about his name is completely useless for the Wikipedia. RX-Guru (talk) 14:53, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
The continued attempts to insert a grossly incorrect and exaggerated claims about canada 2011 isn't going to be tolerated. Vettel lost over 60 seconds combined because of all the saftey cars, and they are the only reason Button was anywhere near vettel by the end of the race. Let's stop There is nothing wrong or incorrect with the version I wrote up, it was 100% exactly what happened that weekend, 100% divorced of bias.Whatzinaname (talk) 22:03, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
