In the words of the Sugababes we helped to "Push the Button".

We've followed the progress of Jenson Button for several years now and he made an audio diary for us. It's been some ride.

He didn't win his first Grand Prix until his 113th race and last year it looked as though his Formula 1 career could be coming to an end after his team Honda announced they would not be taking any further part in F1. Unless someone bought them out, Button would not have a team to race for.

At the 11th hour Ross Brawn - former Team Principle of Honda - did just that and the rest, as they say, is history.

At the start of this year Button and Brawn GP won the first Grand Prix of the season in Melbourne - their first ever race. Jenson stayed top of the pile throughout the campaign and became World Champion with a race to spare. Brawn GP won the constructors title too.

This morning we were lucky enough to have Sir Jackie Stewart (3 times World Champion) and 1996 Champion Damon Hill on the programme. To get a real insight into what it is like to be top of the world, we just let them interview each other about the 2009 World Champion, Jenson Button.
