ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - NOVEMBER 24: Jenson Button of Great Britain and McLaren Honda and Felipe Massa of Brazil and Williams talk in their final Drivers Press Conference before their impending retirement during previews for the Abu Dhabi Formula One Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit on November 24, 2016 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Both these men have been great stalwarts of the sport. Button has been a former F1 champion and Massa came as close as it could ever be in 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix to being a champion; both have been the nicest persons on the grid.

Button has confirmed he will “all but leave” at the end of this season. Massa had a DNF in his last home race and thus the fans cried, he cried, even the rival teams’ pitcrew cried as he walked back through the pitlane after an accident ruined his last home race. The emotions will be running high but everyone would want both these drivers to finish well, hopefully in the points, or even end up on the podium.
