SAO PAULO: Jenson Button's long motor racing journey from childhood karting star to 2009 Formula One world champion left his father stunned and his team boss Ross Brawn in tears on Sunday.
The Briton's success in taking the title by finishing fifth at the Brazilian Grand Prix capped a roller-coaster 10 years in Grand Prix racing for one of the most popular men in the sport.
"It's really amazing," he said. "It was a totally awesome race, I'm world champion. It's 21 years since I first raced a kart. I loved it straight away but I also love winning.
