Jenson Button won the Formula One world title on this day in 2009 after a fifth-place finish at the Brazilian Grand Prix mobile
A combination of brilliant driving and dramatic incidents saw the Brawn GP driver elevated into fifth spot at Interlagos, while rivals Sebastian Vettel and Rubens Barrichello finished fourth and eighth, respectively mobile
That left Button with a 15-point cushion over Vettel, with Barrichello two points further back with just one race remaining mobile
He became the 10th British driver to win the top prize in motor racing, inheriting the crown from compatriot Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion mobile
The 29-year-old Button may not have wrapped it up in the way he would have liked, having won six of the first seven races of the season, but his Brawn team also claimed the constructors’ title just over 10 months after they appeared to be on the scrapheap when Honda pulled out of the sport mobile
The tears and the champagne flowed at the end of 71 laps, with Button’s father John admitting he and his son “cried like babies” when theyembraced each other after the race mobile
“You don’t win the world championship and feel relief, you feel ecstatic,” Jenson Button said mobile
“All the memories, good and bad, go through your mind, not just from this year, but previous years in the sport, especially this year mobile
“I had such a great start to the season and then the last few races were pretty stressful for me because the pace was there, but we struggled a few times mobile
“This team has done staggeringly well and what we’ve achieved this season after the winter we’ve had is exceptional, and I don’t think there has been a season like it in Formula One mobile
“It’s great to be sat here as world champion and I personally think I thoroughly deserve it mobile
I’ve been the best over 16 races and that’s what world titles are all about mobile
”Button completed the 2009 season with a third-place finish at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix two weeks later, finishing 11 points clear of Vettel mobile
He moved to McLaren the following season and was runner-up to Vettel in the 2011 title race mobile
He retired from F1 in 2017 mobile

Italy will be forced to stage parts of the 2026 Winter Olympics abroad after funding for a new sliding track was pulled mobile
The Italian government will no longer pay for an expensive redevelopment of the historic Eugenio Monti track at Cortina d’Ampezzo, which was used in the 1956 Winter Games mobile
The century-old track closed down 15 years ago and costs have spiralled well beyond the original €50m estimate mobile
It means bobsled, luge and skeleton events at the Milan-Cortina Olympics will need to be held outside the country, most likely either at the sliding track in Igls, Austria or St Moritz, Switzerland mobile
“Recent years’ dramatic international scenario has forced a reflection on the resources regionally allocated by the Italian government as investment for this specific venue,” organizing committee leader Giovanni Malago said at the International Olympic Committee’s annual meeting being held in Mumbai, India mobile
“This venue has been at the center of a long and controversial process,” Malago acknowledged, after a tender for the work produced no viable contractor mobile
The IOC had long been skeptical about the Cortina sliding track project and urges Olympic hosts to avoid building venues which do not fulfil a proven need for local communities mobile
Using venues outside a host country is now encouraged to limit costs for Olympic organizers who typically overspend budgets mobile
Malago said Milan-Cortina officials will decide which sliding track to use after consulting with the IOC mobile
Milan-Cortina won hosting rights in 2019, beating a Swedish bid centered on Stockholm that planned to use a sliding track in Latvia mobile
