Sutton, Button and an iconic moment

NEWS STORY
27/10/2009

Without doubt, some of the most iconic (and personal) shots of Jenson Button in the wake of his title-winning drive in Brazil were taken by veteran snapper Mark Sutton, whose company sponsored the English racer on his single-seater debut.

Sutton Motorsport Images, the world's largest independent motorsport photographic agency, was quick to congratulate Button and the Brawn GP team on their championship success, the Towcester based company being particularly proud of Jenson's achievement since it was his principal sponsor during his debut season of single-seater racing and was responsible for all his public relations in 1998 and his maiden Formula 3 season in 1999.

Following a successful karting career, Button stepped up to single-seaters and it was here that he first came to the motorsport world's attention by winning the Slick 50 Formula Ford Championship and Festival. Less than two years later he lined up on the F1 grid with Williams in Melbourne and scored his first F1 points in only his second F1 race.
