Jenson Button won the Formula One world title on this day in 2009 after a fifth-place finish at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

The tears and the champagne flowed at the end of 71 laps, with Button’s father John admitting he and his son “cried like babies” when they“You don’t win the world championship and feel relief, you feel ecstatic,” Jenson Button said.
“I had such a great start to the season and then the last few races were pretty stressful for me because the pace was there, but we struggled a few times.“This team has done staggeringly well and what we’ve achieved this season after the winter we’ve had is exceptional, and I don’t think there has been a season like it in Formula One.
