Starting next year, British driver Jenson Button, who previously won the Formula 1 championship, will compete in the World Endurance Championship with the Porsche team. The World Endurance Championship includes the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. Button, 43, stated in an interview with the BBC: "I am at my peak right now. I have my wife’s approval." He added that "endurance racing cars are technologically superior to Formula 1 cars."
Button also mentioned: "I have a lot to learn... and this takes time; everything is very clear but also very complex and requires a different type of driver. You have to be skilled on the track, and you also need to be technically knowledgeable." Button retired from Formula 1 in 2016 after a long racing career spanning 18 years, during which he participated in 306 races. He won the Formula 1 title in 2009.
