#Jenson250: Twitter Q&A

The 2014 Bahrain Grand Prix signalled Jenson Button’s 250th race start. To celebrate, we opened up and floor and invited you to send in your questions for a live Q&A. Here's a recap.

‏@adamgatto: ”Do you still get the same feeling when you sit on the grid as you did all those races ago?”

JB: "Yes. I still get the same adrenaline rush as race 1: Melbourne 2000. I'll never lose that buzz." 

‏@hannahhou: “Which race that you haven't already won would you most like to win?” 

JB: "My home grand prix, at Silverstone, which would be a very special race win..." #PinkForPapaSmurf 

@McLarenF1_JB22: “Out of 10, what would you rate my collection of Jenson Button cars?”

JB: "Very nice collection! You're only missing the Silverstone limited edition helmets!" 

@walkingleaf79: “What’s your favourite racing car?” 

JB: "The 2011 MP4-26. Mega downforce, screaming V8's and a very competitive car." 

@F1_Nina: “What's the perfect day for you?” 

JB: "Starting from pole, seeing the chequered flag first and then having a few drinks with friends post-race." 

 

‏@annagrigoryan: “Go Jenson! Which race of 250 is your favourite one?”

JB: "Tough decision, but I'd go for 2011 Suzuka." 

‏@f1mclarenfan: “What have 250 races taught you?” 

JB: "250 races... well, that there's always more to learn." 

‏@Jones1Mark: “What is your biggest achievement out of motor racing? Thanks and good luck JB ;)” 

JB: "Hmm... doing a 4-hour 19 minutes 70.3 Ironman." 

@J_Atkinson_6: “If you could see one track return to Formula one, which one would you choose?”

JB: "Imola - the San Marino Grand Prix. My first pole position in 2004. Love that circuit."
