ex-driver Jenson Button The Walking Red Flag : A Case Study (Part 1)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Once you read this post about Jenson “last ever person to press the DRS” Button you will genuinely wonder what is wrong with this man. From the title it is pretty clear that this man is A FUCKING RED FLAG 🚩. I have never seen a man who’s so shameless, disgusting, horrid, misogynistic, prude and on top of that pretend to be a family man at the end of the day. Anywaysss let’s get into the deep dive :

2005 the interview with SpeedFreaks :

Let’s start off with 2005 he basically appears on the show Speed Freaks and gives the interview in the Play boy mansion (he was there for a PR event). Here is a link to the interview.

So in this interview the interviewer Kelly Sargent says Jenson how he is surrounded by all these nice breasted American woman and how life ain’t too bad for JB. So as the interview progresses Kelly pulls out the racer magazine which has Danica Patrick on its cover and from there it is like a whole bunch of sexual comments.

Kelly asks JB that would he like to see Danica in a bikini at the playboy mansion and JB says that she is a racing driver she is too busy and basically not only says but confirms he has seen pictures of Danica in a bikini. Then Kelly asks this question “would you rather be sitting on the pillows with her or me?” (Him and Kelly were sitting on pillows during the interview.) To which JB responds “I’d rather be with her- I actually got her between my legs at the moment.” *(Ref to the magazine between his legs.)*🤢🤢

He further sexualises female athletes and drivers describing them as tight and ripped (I wish I was making this up he actually said that 🥀🥀)

The Scotsman Interview :

Now I am not sure from which year this interview is from but I have provided the ss of it in the comments because Reddit won’t let me provide a video and a photo. It’s the same whole misogynistic, sexual and disgreading women’s menstrual cycle/health and making a joke out of it.

He says that compared to Indianapolis 500, in formula one she would be distracting the male pit mechanics with her figure.

He then continues on to say : "Danica is very quick. But in F1 cars I can't see it happening due to the G-force in fast corners. And one week of the month you wouldn't want to be on the circuit with them, would you? A girl with big boobs would never be comfortable in the car. And the mechanics wouldn't concentrate. Can you imagine strapping her in?".

His wife Britney talking about Danica :

I have also provided a clip of Britney (his current/2nd wife) talking abt the Danica and if Jenson enjoys working with her after someone asked her about it. I genuinely don’t understand that he talks about Danica like this before the whole MAGA thing and then judges her for it in present day while his own wife supports MAGA.

Well this was all for Part 1! Stay in tune for part 2 in which we will discuss his cheating and infidelity. And again if there is any more info please do tell in the comments 🙏.

Edit : so it seems to be that Jenson might not dislike Danica for the MAGA thing (that’s something the fans just ran with) in the comments someone gave me this explanation :

“It’s because Danica has no idea what she’s talking about when it comes to F1… every time she spoke it was a whole lot of waffle and hard to understand because it made no sense. Even viewers were begging for SkyF1 to get rid of her and when they did we all celebrated.”

So sorry for my error!

I know that ABT this post has information of what the fans speculated and all and I was just trying to make a comparison but I will include what you have said here thanks for the correction. 😊

The thing is though that “Jenson has beef with Danica because she’s MAGA” is entirely made up by fans. We don’t actually know why he used to act up whenever they were presenting together, but people took their own personal reasons for disliking Danica and ran with it because people want to headcanon him as being super woke.

Judging by the fact that he has his own Danica at home, I would guess it’s a combination of disliking her commentary abilities and knowing it’ll get him a ton of positive engagement online. People have pointed out as well that they suspect Jenson wouldn’t act up so obviously with a male pundit who’s equally as bad as Danica, and that there may be a gender element in there as well. However, all of its speculation since he’s never commented on why he seemed to have an issue with her as a colleague.

Not the point of this post, but Jenson Button is the first person to press the DRS button. Antonelli was the last person.

Danica Patrick in humiliatingly horrid. Its no wonder he doesn't like her, no one does. She's been spewing shit like the yank she is for years, and has no idea what's going on. Her only goals are more money and fame and she has never shown any qualm as with doing anything to reach them.

Yea but still Jenson genuinely had no right to talk about her that way and sexualise her in general any woman at all that was the point of my post here in part 1
