Button to drive in Moscow this weekend

Jenson Button will be driving a 2008 McLaren through the streets of Russian capital city Moscow this weekend. The demonstration run will coincide with a similar event in Sochi, home of the country’s inaugural Grand Prix from 2014.

The outing for the 2009 World Champion will mark the 450th anniversary of St. Basil’s Cathedral, with the car in question being that which took Lewis Hamilton to the title.

Further South in Sochi, which will also be home to the 2014 Winter Olympics, the aforementioned festival will be attended by Red Bull, Ferrari, Renault and Virgin.
