BEYOND THE GRID LEGENDS: Jenson Button revisits his maiden F1 win – 20 years on

Twenty years ago, Jenson Button added his name to the illustrious list of drivers to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix, when he emerged victorious in Hungary in 2006.

A moment long overdue after multiple podiums, Button admits he did get to a point where he thought a win might never happen.

So, how did he feel when he finally did cross the finish line and take the chequered flag first?

Speaking to Beyond The Grid host Tom Clarkson, Button talks through the race in great detail, before describing the emotions of that huge milestone, how he celebrated and why it changed him as a driver.

Plus, the 2009 World Champion reflects on when he was at his best in Formula 1, which driver on the current grid he relates to the most, and why drivers are more insecure than we might think.
