Iron man Button primed for glory

Jenson Button feels being arguably the fittest driver in Formula One also gives him a mental edge and keeps his nerves in check as he targets a second world title.

McLaren driver Button has become a supreme athlete since teaming up with personal trainer Mikey Collier in 2008, combining his F1 exploits with competing in triathlons.

To underline Button’s physical condition, Collier has revealed that in pre-season assessment tests by the teams he has served, his now very close friend has been declared the fittest driver over the years.
