The first sight I riveted on this 29-year-old guy on the tv I was inescapably obsessed with his charming smile, his sparkling eyes with vivid expression.......Doubtlessly, this guy whose name is Jenson Button has impressed me with his outstanding racing skill in the F1 Malaysian Grand Pix.

Introducing Jenson
Your F1 hero?
I don't have one, but I used to love the racing between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in the late '80s and early '90s. I liked James Hunt back in his day, but not necessarily for racing reasons.
What's on your ipod?
Lots of different stuff, from the Eagles through to the Pigeon Detectives. There's lots of dance music on there as well.
Your best movie of all time?
I still think Pulp Fiction is great, and Swordfish is good too. I think Quentin Tarantino is great.
Your favourite actor?
John Travolta.
Are you a good cook?
No, not at all. The best thing I ever cooked was broccoli and Stilton soup, and I know it was excellent because my mum told me so! Although I can't cook, I love food. Fish and pasta are my favourites, and Japanese food is high up the list too.
What's your daily exercise routine?
It's not a routine because I vary it every time. But on a normal day, I have two sessions: a Cardio Vascular session and a weights session. The CV work could be anything from a sprint of 45 minutes to an endurance session of three hours; the weights session could also feature some core stability work to strengthen the abs and the lower back.
Your secret to a happy life?
Being surrounded by fantastic people, and I'm very lucky in that way. And being able to laugh at yourself is important too.
Something that you never leave home without?
Underpants and my Ray Bans.
The last book you read?
Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld. It's excellent.
If you weren't a racing driver, you'd be a...
I haven't really thought about it, but I know I couldn't sit behind a desk. It would have to be something which involved fitness and something fast. Something that got the adrenaline pumping, so probably a sport.
