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

Bongi Mbonambi is free to play in the Rugby World Cup final after World Rugby confirmed there is “insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges” after he was investigated for an alleged racial slur during the semi-final win over England mobile
England flanker Tom Curry alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victory mobile
After 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck mobile
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe mobile
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment mobile
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast mobile
Following an investigation, World Rugby released a statement saying they won’t proceed with charges and that “the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light”, which freed the path for Mbonambi to be selected as the Springboks’ starting hooker for Saturday evening’s clash with New Zealand mobile
The statement said: “World Rugby has undertaken a review of allegations made by England’s Tom Curry in relation to the use of discriminatory language by South Africa’s Mbongeni Mbonambi during the England versus South Africa Rugby World Cup 2023 semi-final on Saturday, along with a further allegation brought forward in recent days about a previous match in the Autumn Nations Series 2022 mobile
“Any allegation of discrimination is taken extremely seriously by World Rugby, warranting a thorough investigation mobile
Having considered all the available evidence, including match footage, audio and evidence from both teams, the governing body has determined that there is insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges mobile
Therefore, the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light mobile
“It is important to note that World Rugby accepts that Tom Curry made the allegations in good faith, and that there is no suggestion that the allegation was deliberately false or malicious mobile
”Tom Curry made the allegation during England’s World Cup semi-final defeat (PA Wire)Curry had been the target of threats on social media after the allegations, with his club Sale Sharks saying they were “absolutely appalled” by the “nature and level” of abuse, while England captain Owen Farrell also slammed those sending the flanker abuse mobile
Despite the threats, Curry has been selected in the England team to take on Argentina in the bronze final on Friday evening and World Rugby also addressed this aspect of the situation in their statement mobile
They wrote: “World Rugby is also concerned by the social media abuse that both players have been subjected to this week mobile
There is no place in rugby or society for discrimination, abuse or hate speech, and World Rugby urges fans to embrace the sport’s values of respect, integrity and solidarity mobile
”South Africa captain Siya Kolisi confirmed that he had reached out to Curry and condemned the mobile online abuse received mobile
“If it’s a player, coach or referee, I don’t support that and I feel for him,” said Kolisi in the team announcement press conference mobile
“I have spoken to him, I sent him a message when I saw that was going on because he’s somebody that I respect and I’ve played against for quite a while mobile
“I’ve been through it too mobile
We can take it as players when it comes to us directly but when it comes to your family, it’s totally different mobile

“We’ve experienced it too mobile
Cobus [Reinach] and his family received death threats earlier this tournament mobile
As a rugby family, as much as we compete, we do support each other when things like this happen mobile
”Siya Kolisi confirmed he had reached out to Tom Curry (Getty Images)The RFU also released a statement following World Rugby’s confirmation that they wouldn’t press charges and said they were “deeply disappointed” by the decision mobile
“The RFU fully support Tom Curry in raising the racially abusive behaviour he experienced whilst playing for England against South Africa,” said the statement mobile
“During the match mobile between England and South Africa on Saturday 21st October 2023, Tom Curry reported to the referee that he had been racially abused by Mbongeni Mbonambi mobile
The subsequent World Rugby investigation was informed by Tom Curry that he had also been the victim of the same abuse, from the same player, in the Autumn Test 2022 mobile
“World Rugby have today announced their decision not to bring charges in respect of either incident mobile
The RFU are deeply disappointed by the decision taken by World Rugby mobile
The decision not to put the evidence before an independent disciplinary panel has denied the disciplinary process the opportunity to hear Tom Curry’s voice and to independently assess his account of these serious events, together with the other available evidence mobile
“In their continued full support of Tom, the RFU together with the England squad, condemn the disgusting abuse he and his family have received on social media as a result of his having had the courage to put unacceptable behaviour that has no place in society or on the rugby field, in the public eye mobile
