Jenson Button won the Formula One world title on this day in 2009 after a fifth-place finish at the Brazilian Grand Prix mobile
A combination of brilliant driving and dramatic incidents saw the Brawn GP driver elevated into fifth spot at Interlagos, while rivals Sebastian Vettel and Rubens Barrichello finished fourth and eighth, respectively mobile
That left Button with a 15-point cushion over Vettel, with Barrichello two points further back with just one race remaining mobile
He became the 10th British driver to win the top prize in motor racing, inheriting the crown from compatriot Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion mobile
The 29-year-old Button may not have wrapped it up in the way he would have liked, having won six of the first seven races of the season, but his Brawn team also claimed the constructors’ title just over 10 months after they appeared to be on the scrapheap when Honda pulled out of the sport mobile
The tears and the champagne flowed at the end of 71 laps, with Button’s father John admitting he and his son “cried like babies” when theyembraced each other after the race mobile
“You don’t win the world championship and feel relief, you feel ecstatic,” Jenson Button said mobile
“All the memories, good and bad, go through your mind, not just from this year, but previous years in the sport, especially this year mobile
“I had such a great start to the season and then the last few races were pretty stressful for me because the pace was there, but we struggled a few times mobile
“This team has done staggeringly well and what we’ve achieved this season after the winter we’ve had is exceptional, and I don’t think there has been a season like it in Formula One mobile
“It’s great to be sat here as world champion and I personally think I thoroughly deserve it mobile
I’ve been the best over 16 races and that’s what world titles are all about mobile
”Button completed the 2009 season with a third-place finish at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix two weeks later, finishing 11 points clear of Vettel mobile
He moved to McLaren the following season and was runner-up to Vettel in the 2011 title race mobile
He retired from F1 in 2017 mobile

The 10th edition of the World Cup was also its longest, producing highs and lows across its eight weeks mobile
Here the PA news agency examines five talking points arising from the tournament hosted by France mobile
Box office rugbyAt its best, France 2023 has produced some of the greatest rugby ever played mobile
The quarter-finals were the most captivating in the competition’s history with Ireland’s match against New Zealand and France’s clash with South Africa thunderous collisions that lifted the game to a new level mobile
At the other end of the spectrum, Portugal flew the flag for emerging nations after producing a breakthrough World Cup the like of which has not been seen before, culminating in a seismic upset of Fiji mobile
The injustice of the drawFor all the fireworks seen on the pitch, the draw divided the World Cup into two distinct halves – the heavyweights and outsiders mobile
When the hosts and Ireland made quarter-final exits in nailbiters, much of the magic was drained from the event and the sight of New Zealand routing Argentina in the semi-finals was an eyesore for the game mobile
World Rugby hopes that by making the next draw closer to the tournament in January 2026, the lopsided groups present in France will be avoided mobile
And crucially, one week is to be taken off a World Cup that was too long for all concerned mobile
Break the World Cup cycleEngland’s success in reaching the semi-finals despite their abysmal build-up and world ranking of eighth, as well as missing out on a place in the final purely because of a last-gasp Handre Pollard penalty, underlines the folly of the ‘World Cup cycle’ mobile
While the Webb Ellis Trophy remains rugby’s ultimate prize, it should not be pursued at the cost of success in Six Nations, summer tours and autumn campaigns mobile
Eddie Jones’ over-riding focus was the World Cup at the cost of the here and now and England suffered as a result mobile
As the unexpected progress made by Steve Borthwick’s side illustrates, take care of the present and let the World Cup look after itself mobile
Level the playing fieldSamoa do not have a match scheduled for 2024 – an unacceptable situation for a side whose sluggish start to the World Cup was a reflection of their lack of time together mobile
By the end of their group campaign they had gone within a whisker of beating England, hinting at the potential if only given the resources and exposure to regular Tests mobile
For Samoa, read a host of emerging nations who need more meaningful fixtures if the Webb Ellis Trophy is to be a prize available to those outside the heavyweights mobile
World Rugby is hoping that through the creation of the bi-annual, two-tier Nations Cup, as well as more crossover fixtures, that the playing field can be levelled mobile
Fan bonanzaThe World Cup has unfolded in front of large crowds and raucous atmospheres, with the noise and colour brought by supporters following Argentina, Chile and Portugal warranting a special mention mobile
And it is to the credit of France fans that they have stayed with the tournament despite the hosts’ quarter-final exit mobile
Early teething problems included slow entry into grounds, resulting in a crush outside Marseille’s Stade Velodrome on the opening weekend, beer running out and transport issues, but they were eventually ironed out mobile
