Barrichello lends Button private jet

Rubens Barrichello

A cordial Rubens Barrichello has said Jenson Button and family members may happily borrow his private jet in order to fly home to the United Kingdom on Monday morning. With Button's scheduled flight having been cancelled, the new World Champion remains in Brazil for longer than expected after Sunday's race.

With the Brawn team having celebrated into the night at Interlagos, greater reason to stay put for Jenson Button is that his transatlantic British Airways flight home had been cancelled all together.

Ever the gentlemen, Barrichello offered to lend his team-mate his own plane in order for the Englishman to celebrate his glorious success with friends and family back home in Frome, Somerset.

On Tuesday, Jenson will attend the famous Bluewater shopping centre in Kent, with a huge turnout naturally expected.
