Talking to the media at the end of a crazy Brazilian Grand Prix, Button could hardly find his words. Taking his first F1 title in a year that he wasn't even sure he was going to start back in February, the 29-year old Englishman thanked his team for the opportunity to rule the world. After making a Button-like entrance in the press conference room – he yelled “Where is everyone? I'm f*****g world champion!” – Button expressed his intense feelings after the race.
“It has been flat out since I have got out the car, it is more of a relief. You feel ecstatic, all the bad memories and the good memories go through your mind, not just from this year but previous years in the sport. Especially this year you know, such a great start to the season, then the last races pretty stressful for me because pace was there, but for whatever problem in qualifying we struggled,” said Button.
“This team has done staggeringly well, what this team achieved this season after the winter we had is exception. I don't really think there has been a season like it in Formula 1. It's great to be sat here as world champion and I personally think I thoroughly deserve it. I've been best over 16 races and that is what world championships are. I am it. I am world champion. I am going to say that all night because I heard my flight is cancelled.”
“This was my best race I've driven in my life, I know because of the emotion that's involved in it, but also because I knew what I had to do - I did it, and that is why I am sat up here as world champion. I am going to enjoy this moment very much. The people around me have been so supportive,” added the Brit.
