At Silverstone Button will be wearing a special helmet. "I recently ran a competition on my website, www.jensonbutton.com, in which I asked fans to design my helmet colour scheme for Silverstone, Button explained. "We had a staggering 7055 entries and I've opted for the design by Aries Janssens from Denbighshire in the UK, which I'll unveil on Thursday at the track. What I like about Aries' design is that it's very British and very me. By very me, I mean very patriotic. His design incorporates my logo and my name, and the 'o' in Jenson is a Union Jack button."
But apart from a special helmet the race weekend itself has also always been something special for Button. He said: "I always look forward to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone as it's my home race and therefore a very special weekend for me. I love the layout of the track because it's very fast and flowing, and I have a lot of good memories from when I used to spectate at the British Grand Prix as a boy."
