Jenson Button may not have had much running over the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, but he will be doing plenty of running - literally - this weekend as he takes part in the London Marathon. Button has been appearing on BBC Radio 1 ahead of the event to promote his efforts. The keen triathlete is raising money for the Jenson Button Trust, in partnership with Cancer Research UK, and can be sponsored here.
