We All Start Somewhere...

Have you ever looked at a Formula 1 driver, and been like, I could never do that?! Well you can, everyone has to start somewhere, and two of the most iconic and well-known racing drivers started racing at local race circuits.

Jenson Button

Jenson Button started karting when he was eight years old and acheived a lot of success at a very young age! The video below shows him beating all the other drivers at the age of nine in 1989 (he is kart number 14)!

Jenson Button is now a Formula 1 driver and is very successful, however as a child although he won a lot of races he got into a lot of trouble as a young karter! When he started racing at Shennington Race Circuit, he got pulled in by the club chairman and was handed a ban for 5 races due to dangerous driving which put other drivers at risk.
