McLaren Formula One driver Jenson Button 34 entered the New Year as a married man after marrying his long-term girlfriend Jessica Michibata in Hawaii after announcing their engagement last year..
‘Happy New Year from Mr & Mrs Button,’ the 2009 world champion told his 1.9 million followers on Twitter. ‘We’re excited to see in the New Year with family and loved ones.’
The Briton’s Formula One future was uncertain until last month, when McLaren finally announced his contract had been extended and he would be partnering arriving double world champion Fernando Alonso next season.
This year will be the 16th season in Formula One for the most experienced driver on the starting grid and winner of 15 grands prix.
