Show Notes

This week, Alistair and George interview 2009 Formula One World Champion Jenson Button. We chat to Jenson about family life in Los Angeles, car culture in the United States, his classic car collection – including a Fiat 500 with Tesla power – and his work with Radford. We also talk with Jenson about karting, the early days of his career and, perhaps inevitably, the Austin Maestro.

This episode also includes the Volvo XC40 Recharge, Alistair's first drive of the Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition at Silverstone's Stowe circuit, analysis of the French Grand Prix, and the pair look back at what cringeworthy vehicles they booked for their high school prom.
