Jenson Button and Dan Wheldon Karting 1989

[@doncapoeira8905]

RIP, Justin Wilson and Dan Wheldon. Sad to think that two of these talented youngsters would die while still young.

[@fluffskunk]

RIP Dan. If anybody wondered just how tight a community racing is...

[@poorjf]

Justin Wilson, Dan(iel) Wheldon, Jenson Button... in karts... in 1989!! This...is...awesome...

[@SonOfTheRightHand29]

rip dan and justin

[@forwarddrive4066]

Why is Wilson not in the title? John Button had no idea the Jensen would be a STAR! 👍👏👏👏👏👍

[@telephonic]

justin wilson is there too... he drove for minardi in 2003 in F1 and is a top driver in indy cars in the USA

[@djabula64]

RIP Dan Wheldon

[@Alexico007]

fascinating bit of footage. I wonder how many young kids would kill to have a dad whose hobby it is to run kadet karts all over the country!

[@Sonu666]

wow gr8 vid! what a move overtook 2 cars in 1 corner on the penultimate lap! thx for the share!

[@RealRunner7]

The list at 2:12 includes Jay Howard. Jay Howard was driving car 15 in Las Vega on 16 October 2011. His car coasted down the back stretch after the wreck but my recall is that he walked away uninjured.

[@kzar42]

Button was the best pilot in last year's F1, but the car wasn't a match for the RB ... this year however things are looking mighty good for him... Go Button 2012! RIP Dan

[@enzozachtv]

Jenson used to have blonde hair I didnt know that.

[@redluca56]

Jenson's mentor in karts compared him with Ayrton Senna when he was karting, that is some pressure.

[@sumyonguy]

wow....awesome to the poster! God bless the Wheldon family...

[@Nickomfacc]

John Button is a true legend!

[@erwinr9328]

RIP DAN!!!

[@ShiroWretchedEggX]

I miss Dan Wheldon.

[@forwarddrive4066]

Shiro 史郎 Wretched Egg I do as well,😓😫

[@IanR243]

"We might be looking at the future Johnny Herbert" - was he really the top Briton in F1 at the time? I guess it shows how good we've got it now if so.

[@Alex_Mac_]

-cont-... If ILMC had an award for the single best driver last year Anthony Davidson no doubt would have had it!

[@Jejking]

@2fatrat What an incredible piece of footage to see those four drivers up and close together. May I ask, where did you get the footage from? It's legendary.

[@Doggydoggg69]

@erwinruys I am guesing you saw this vid via GPUpdate?

[@Doggydoggg69]

I know this vid is about Jensen Button but maybe you could edit the title so people can also see a young Dan Wheldon racing karts in his early years. Just an idea. RIP Dan.

[@tarksable]

You should upload this properly so people can watch it via torrent

[@cmal82517]

Good win by Yenson

[@OllieEastgate]

Antony davidson is now one of the sky f1 presenters, right???

[@jameshunt8175]

fortunately, there are no fences lining the track. EYYY!!!

[@south0001]

hahaha little did he know indeed!!!! great video, thanks for the upload

[@alexbassi7678]

Sad to think that Justin Wilson was also killed in an Indycar accident. Jay Howard was racing and crashed in Las Vegas 2011 as well. Button, Wilson, Howard and Wheldon all made it to the big leagues. I wonder who else was in that race....

[@Alex_Mac_]

So let's match some of these young drivers with their later careers: Dan Wheldon: Indycar Jenson Button: Formula 1 Justin Wilson: Indycar Jay Howard: Indycar Anthony Davidson: Le Mans I must say I find it kind of funny when people see Anthony Davidson in these videos and go "Hey, thats Anthony Davidson! Isn't he an F1 commentator?" It's almost like nobody knows him as Anthony Davidson the factory LMP1 driver who is arguable the best single driver right now and is no question in the top 3! If

[@stupot194]

Dan Wheldon!

[@2fatrat]

Yes " YENSON" that was David Bobin a very wooden reporter who now works for SKY , say no more LOL

[@xPyroxx]

I wonder if Button comes and watches these videos? If he does.. Hello.

[@gturner38]

Amazing to think that much talent was on one kart circuit at that age. I do wonder why they couldn't pronounce Jenson. I mean, it's a British name, so why is he trying to make it sound Scandanavian?

[@SAMM0608]

3:29 was so sudden.. FREAKY !!! :P

[@loggyboy]

Are you saying Hamilton should have been mentioned? Hewas 4 when this was filmed!

[@erwinr9328]

@Doggydoggg69 Well actually I've been searching for this vid since a few years. It was on a karting video only thing was that my girlfriend erased it. And luckily GPUpdate put this one on, and the RIP Dan was just a mark of respect.

[@Chequeredflag1RBLX]

STOP. SAYING. YENSON. BUTTON.

[@UnlovedZetsu]

IndyCar vs. Formula 1 drivers Jenson Button vs. Dan Wheldon :3

[@xman822]

interviewer question " are we looking at the new johny herbert?" with all respect for Johnny Herbert, JB grew up to be much greater i mean alooooooooooooot greater!!

[@Gravelrally1]

4:01 - 4:11 Looks like Jenson got the job done with that lol

[@avinashpantjoe4892]

also justin wilson

[@chriscase2194]

clay pigeon raceway best track ever :)

[@sirhardone]

[@CandidaRosa889]

Yenson Button

[@blainy-o93]
