2015 Russia - Pre-Race: Jenson Button takes on David Coulthard at Rallycross

[@McRocket]

That was fantastic. Often these little videos are a bit silly - but this one was properly cool. Plus, the look on Button's face when the guy told him that the car he was driving has actually raced against his Dad was moving. Thanks very much for this FSB - I never would have seen this has you not posted it.

[@jcynavarro]

+McRocket the look on his face... man, that must have been some kind of feelings right there..

[@AmirPomen]

yeah....something special for him...i can tell that he was reluctant to get out of that beetle after that... :p

that moment is amazing the face of jenson was priceless

[@charly0418]

Wow the BBC is amazing at producing content

[@gurpreetsingh1328]

It's a shame they won't do f1 next year

[@tnexus13]

Its Whisper Films who made it for the BBC, owners incliding DC & Jake Humphries. They still do the C4 production.

[@NikonPhoto07]

You can see Jenson have a very touching moment at 2:58 when he realized that his father used to race against that exact car.

[@freddyskunk78]

i initially had the same though but when you look closer you can see its actually really good editing...when the guy in the blue suit told him jenson's hands were on his neck 2:58 ... when he turns around to look at david 3:00 his hands are no where near and the guy in the suit is almost in the car at 3:02 but stands outside with his hands in his pocket at 3:03

[@thebuttermelts]

it was a longer moment and they just cutted it, but the scene is the same, so... i dont get your point. it was touching. especially with the following shots of the circuit and the music. good job bbc :)

[@MrBboyflexibi]

freddyskunk78 I think after the video shut down , he straight away bought the car

[@Dutchbird757]

These guys are just awesome. Jenson giggled like a school girl! 👍 Well done BBC SPORT, as usual!

[@nerecool5]

DC: "Can you hear me?" JB: "You are sat next to me, of course I can hear you" LOL!!!!!!!

[@Fleischpeitsche555]

Absolutly fantastic guy's. Very, very likable. I miss DC in Formula 1. DC & JB one of my favourite Guys in Formula One Scene , because they are human and not arrogant like many other drivers. Best wishes from Dortmund / Germany.

[@daniel1987davies]

such a moving video at the start about Jenson's Father. what an inspiration too him. If only we could all be like that to our offspring! The video gave me goosebumps all the way through especially when they mentioned the beetle that raced against Jenson's Dad. He's face was a pure moment for him! Thanks for the video BBC 👌👍

[@andyelliott8027]

It's only because of his dad that he was able to race, when his dad died the joy went out of F1 for Jenson, not surprisingly. I can remember John Button racing those rallycross cars, great days.

[@Papalotis97]

you would see why jenson would be intimidated by 600 hp, he has been racing with less that for almost a year

[@Jake-ui4wz]

panagiotis karagiannis He raced in f1 though which is 700-800+ I think the v8s were almost a thousand and the v10s were.

I liked the way he reached across to shift with his left hand at 7:13.

[@DannyPhilipsen]

I really love this piece!

[@danielcard1620]

what a epic race between David and jenson

[@Jef_Vermassen]

So much feels! Great video :D

[@tommy4862]

That DS3 is spitting some serious flames :)

The best race in F1 2015 season, Jenson's a damn good driver.

[@Dirkietje8]

Jenson Button 2017 Rallycross championship confirmed! He's loving that car, bet he called his dad straight after.

[@eszetto9736]

His dad's dead...

[@Dirkietje8]

Ah shit, really? Didn't know that actually.

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

How much do we all love Button! :D I know it is highly unlikely, but Jenson for the win in 2016 because it would be an awesome, joyful and an unbelievably emotional moment for him, his close ones and all of his followers \m/ \m/. Let's fuel this fire!

[@Ben94]

4:46 I was like: '...Where did that voice come from...?'

[@wolfstealth782]

Flippin awesome! Even tho I swear I could feel grey hair strands bustin' outta my noggin when they both started off in the beetle LOL & idk but I pictured @ around 7:49 they would have hopped into like a lifted VW bug so that they could take off into those lush green hills! Oh, and also so sweet about Jenson's father 💐

[@Krakkenn69]

Geniales... Como niños pequeños... Grande Button..

[@daniellongworth7513]

I think they got Murray to dub commentary over it as well which is a great touch.

[@stephentrout7879]

+Dan L they used the audio form the john button race in 74? that they showed in the beginning.

[@daniellongworth7513]

I would be shocked if Murray Walker commentated on some random C-class rally race from 1974, but anything is possible.

[@usedtoexistonce]

he did commentate

[@urooz]

wow wow wow wow wow!!!!! just loved this!

[@MrNurdiboy]

Aweseome! would love to see Jenson in rallyX for real

[@shanefanon]

This is awesome.

[@winchuni22]

Coulthard takes things well as a commentator and doesn't big himself up too much as a former driver. Despite not having won the championship I actually think he was a better driver than Button, although they are quite similar.

[@JCDenton2000]

Yeah man couldn't agree more. Both top lads as drivers and people.

[@liverpoolbuttonf1fan]

+winchuni22 A better driver. Are you having a laugh?

[@winchuni22]

liverpoolbuttonf1fan No. I've watched both drivers through their careers. Button is a good driver who found himself in the unique circumstance of an awesome car with Brawn and has done okay since and was fairly average beforehand. Coulthard had some good cars but played number two to Mika and had Schu to beat. He did well though and given the car Button had would likely have won the title as well imo.

[@liverpoolbuttonf1fan]

winchuni22 Button has matched Alonso so far. The best driver in F1(alot of people say that) and he was close to Hamilton. Button has beat 3 world champions and Coulthard had a very very hard time beating Hakkinen. Coulthard was pretty much the Webber of our time

[@winchuni22]

liverpoolbuttonf1fan Button has matched an indifferent Alonso in a shit car. Hardly comparable to Mika fighting a world championship. I also don't buy into the whole 'Alonso the best driver' theory which I think is a romantic tale. Button did match Hamilton though I'll give him that. I do like Button but I stand by my original comment.

[@carvert658]

JB needs to come to rallycross

[@mj68874]

Chris martin is quite a good driver.

[@spkprobe2]

Hilarious, really enjoyed that .....

[@DZEMAG]

I wonder why McLaren can`t make their own F1 engines like Ferrari and Mercedes. You would think that would just be the best option for the future of McLaren instead of depending on an engine manufacturer that is garbage.

[@LimYQS]

Lol button shifting with his left hand on a lhd haha!!!

[@sikaerkki666]

rallycross was best,when there was martin skancke,alamäki and niittymäki...there was more than 1k hp... and those guys did not fear anything...

[@ItachiGT]

He should be driving some other series than F1 and with a competitive car and team. But money wins...and in F1 he gets the most money until the end of 2016.

[@alisadamia]

he's voice turning from a man to a girl... hahaha.. cute JB...

[@phillipkerfoot2389]

come on jenson do rallycross

[@sikaerkki666]

papa smurf... '

[@trifio5242]

Why Jenson is talking like a 14 year old boy? :)

[@barbagiggia]

Coulthard is a mediocre driver, Button is a fast driver but not a top driver, he won the championship simply because he had a car that was another level above the others. But both are funny guys.
