The 1999 Formula 1 champion says his next landing spot won't be in an open-wheel racing series.
Formula 1 champion Jenson Button enjoys testing his talent in various racing series, something that many drivers prefer to avoid, but the British driver says he wants to compete in a series full time once again in 2024.
“It’s great doing one-off races, but you don’t get the best out of yourself,” Button, the 1999 F1 champion says. That’s why next year Button plans to compete full-time in endurance racing, either IMSA or the World Endurance Cup. Since retiring from Formula 1 at the end of the 2016 season, Button has added the 2018 Super GT Series championship to his racing resume. He’s also raced in GT3 and rallycross. He made his NASCAR debut at the Circuit of the Americas earlier this year and co-drove NASCAR’s Garage 56 entry with Jimmie Johnson and Mike Rockenfeller in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.—Grant Park 220— with Rick Ware Racing, which receives support from Stewart-Haas Racing.
“I think a lot of drivers that are at the top level of one category, they’re worried about stepping out of their comfort zone, trying something new and not being as competitive. Whereas for me, I feel like I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ve won the world championship in F1. It’s what I set out to do. Now, I’m going racing because I love racing. I love learning new things. Those challenges are what keep me going. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be racing anymore.

Wyndham Clark plays big and becomes a major champion at U.S. OpenWyndham Clark always carried the message from his late mother to 'play big.' Nothing was bigger than Sunday when he held off Rory McIlroy with one clutch shot after another to become a U.S. Open champion. The final act was two putts from 60 feet away on the 18th hole at Los Angeles Country Club, and the 29-year-old Clark pumped his fist when it settled a foot away. He tapped that in for an even-par 70 and a one-shot victory over McIlroy and so many other stars.
