Button does not enjoy standing on Monza podium

Jenson Button feels Italians support only Ferrari.

Monza is among one of those circuits which still give the classic feel of Formula 1 but Mclaren Mercedes driver Jenson Button has revealed that he doesn’t enjoy standing on the Monza podium as the people of Italy, popularly known as the Tifosi, only support Ferrari.

“The Tifosi are there to support Ferrari. They’re not there to support us,” Button said.

When told that the red sea of Tifosi beneath the podium must be a sight to behold, Button said, “Yeah, I don’t know. I don’t like people booing. I’m not used to football crowds.”

“Winning in Spa was definitely amazing. I’ve won in Monaco, I’ve won in Suzuka, and now I’ve won in Spa. Those three stand out for me as being very special circuits. The only one missing is Silverstone, my home grand prix.”
