It was tough to be Jenson Button in Bahrain – his car never got further than the first few corners in each session, including a complete halt in Q1, and when it came to race day, it didn’t even leave the garage.
But instead of completely disappearing from our minds as the others raced, he did something magical – he took to social media to show us the grand prix from his perspective.
Not that we want Jenson’s career to suddenly end up in the commentary booth (but eventually, obviously), but we got some great insight into what he can offer after his career finishes.
As u probably are aware I will not b taking part in the Bahrain GP, the guys have worked flat out 2 get the car built but we’re unable 2 run

At least he’s got something to do in Spain if (when) the same happens again!
