Former F1 champion Button to race in World Endurance Championship
The HinduFormer Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button will drive a Jota Porsche 963 in the World Endurance Championship next year. I’ve got a pass from my wife,” Button told the BBC, adding that the machinery is “more technologically advanced than F1 cars.” “In F1 cars, the technology is through the roof and it’s the pinnacle of aerodynamic design, and they’re the best teams in the world. “It’s very clever, but very complex, and it requires a different type of driver: you need to be skilled on the track, but also be an engineering expert.” The British driver retired from Formula 1 in 2016, having contested 306 F1 races during his 18-year career. That team atmosphere is very different to F1, where team mates are the first person you’ve got beat; in endurance racing you work with team mates to develop the car to win races.”
