With the lead this guy has in both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships, it was only a matter of time.

In case you’ve been missing a lot of motor sports lately, the 2009 F1 season is currently being dominated by the Brits again. And while the young British sensation Lewis Hamilton dominated it last year, another Brit is on top this year, Jenson Button.

Thanks to the magic Ross Brawn brought to the table, Jenson Button has been able to put his name on top of the race for the drivers’ championship while also putting Brawn GP on top of the constructors’ championship standings.

Cool huh? It’s understandable for these guys to feel a little confident and it was only a matter of time for one Jenson Button to, well, become a bona fide cocky sonuvabitch.

It turns out that Jenson Button is now calling himself as the best racing driver in history. Imagine that. And guess what, he already came to that conclusion after only six wins in eight races.

That’s how Button billed himself when the affable Piers Morgan, interviewing him for August’s GQ Magazine, asked the Brawn GP driver for his opinion on the greatest racing driver in history. ”Me, I’m the best,” was Button’s response. No doubt with his tongue firmly in his cheek.

The interview also touched on last year’s Championship success by fellow Brit Lewis Hamilton. Asked for his thoughts on Hamilton’s 2008 title, 29-year-old said, ”It doesn’t matter who wins if I don’t. I only care if I win.”

”I’m jealous of anyone else who wins.”

”But him winning was great for the sport and good for me because I was able to get my head down without much attention and get a great car sorted out. I didn’t have to worry about people writing rubbish about me because Lewis was getting it all.”
