Jenson Button is no stranger to Honda's engine woes, having experienced a couple of dismal seasons with the Japanese manufacturer back in 2007 and 2008 (remember that Earth livery?). As the curtain fell on a stunning championship showdown in Brazil, Button started walking towards newly-crowned Lewis Hamilton to congratulate him when his Honda RA108 caught fire and brought a fitting conclusion to a tough year. 12 months later, Button would succeed Hamilton as world champion at the same Interlagos circuit. But with a Mercedes engine in the Brawn GP.
