Jenson was born at the wrong time. He was more a Moss, a Fangio both in his technical silky smooth style and feel, and his outlook. His biggest downfall is that he cares about people and he has integrity. Schumacher, Senna, even hamilton, were quicker over a single lap but at the expense of their humanity. Senna and hamilton particularly fall very short of what makes a commendable human being.
Wonderful interview. Murray Walker was a great Formula 1 commentator and interviewer. Jenson Button is one of my very favorite F1 drivers. I was cheering him on all through the 2009 season when he won his championship.
Jenson buttons arrogance is astounishing. The fact he actually thinks he’s better than Hamilton is mind boggling. Hamilton completely destroyed Jenson in 2012 but had an insane amount of bad luck.
Jenson you had a car advantage mate, the car was better than everyone else, like the 2000-2004, 2007-2008, 2017-2019 Ferrari, 2005-2006 Renault, Senna/ Prost McLaren, 2014-2015, 2020 Mercedes. All championship cars.
If this was from 2016 it's incredible, 92 and Murray's sharpness and depth of knowledge is immense. I wish he had never retired, we lost out on another 10-15 years of brilliance.
It was 2016 indeed. Murray appeared in a 2019 episode of the Beyond the Grid podcast - which I believe to be his final interview - and, at 95, he spoke for over an hour. He certainly sounded a bit more tired there, but remained impressively sharp and articulate for his age.
