Jenson Button at Silverstone

[Duncan]

Just found some old pictures from September 21st 2001.

Formula one driver Jenson Button and ITV commentator James Allen during filming for the new television series Pulling Power at Silverstone, Northampton.

In this edition Jenson compares driving a Renault on the playstation 2 game Grand Turismo 3, to driving the real Renault Clio V6.

Would be an interesting video to track down!

car featured is [v6plaque]187[/v6plaque] X932OFC

Good find! Renault certainly got its money's worth out of Jenson what with the drive/interviews he did in Monaco too. I bet he was just pleased he could trade in his Laguna V6 company car

Well spotted, that reminds me when his friend Fernando Alonso was in the presentation for the PH1 Clio v6 in Spain, this was back in 2000:

Clio v6 Alonso

I believe they both owned one when competing in Renault F1.

Shame JB is no longer in F1.....and that is one young-looking Alonso.....
