Durango Dude 2 Report post Posted November 8, 2010 Jenson Button escapes armed attack in Brazil by John Neff (RSS feed) on Nov 7th, 2010 at 12:52AM Here's what we know. According to The Press Association, reigning Formula One World Champion Jenson Button has survived an armed attack on the vehicle in which he, his father, trainer and manager were being transported back to their hotel in Sao Paulo, Brazil after Saturday's qualifying session for the Brazilian Grand Prix. Button was fortunately riding in an armored vehicle provided by his team, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, that was piloted by a police driver trained in avoidance techniques. According to Button himself, the attack occurred while his vehicle was moving slowly past a shanty town in Sao Paulo. Six armed attackers, reportedly brandishing machine guns, attacked the vehicle, though Button doesn't mention whether shots were fired or his vehicle was hit. He has, however, praised his driver, who he says "bounced off about five cars" while ferrying the party from harm's way. That's quite a compliment coming from the reigning World Champion. Vodafone McLaren Mercedes also provided Button's teammate Lewis Hamilton with an armored vehicle and trained police driver. The precautions were reportedly taken on account of the high number of gun crimes in Sao Paulo. We're not sure if that's standard procedure for all F1 teams visiting Brazil this weekend, but we bet it will be in the future. Thanks to everyone for the tips!

Are you watching the same championship as me? Alonso is only in the position he is in today because Massa was told to let him through a few races back, I repeat, it will be travesty if this petulant cretin leaves Abu Dhabi tomorrow with the WDC. I couldn't give a fig about Hamilton and Button, they aren't the issue, but the very thing you attack them for is what put Alonso in the pound seats for the race tomorrow. Ferrari told Massa to pull over and that's what he did, sounds very corporate puppet to me. BornFree2010-11-12 18:25:50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
