  • Title: UNITED KINGDOM: WILLIAMS-BMW FORMULA ONE DRIVER JENSON BUTTON VISITS THE WILLIAMS FACTORY IN OXFORD
  • Date: 9th August 2000
  • Summary: OXFORD, UK (AUGUST 9, 2000) 1. JENSON BUTTON DRIVING HIS BMW 2. (Soundbite) BUTTON (English) "You'd be amazed at how much actually goes into Formula One - and how many people are involved. I mean there are 400 people here. A lot of people don't realise that there are two people who go driving at the weekend and there's three cars and it's amazing how much actually goes into it, into Formula One." 3. BUTTON WALKING INTO MCLAREN FACTORY WITH RACE ENGINEER TIM PRESTON (Button voice-over - I think this is probably one of the most impressive factories in Formula One and I know they are all pretty impressive" 4. BODY SECTI0N BEING WHEELED THROUGH FACTORY 5. BUTTON TESTING HELMET WITH EXPERIMENTAL STRAP ON BACK 6. BUTTON WALKING THROUGH FACTORY 7. (Soundbite) BUTTON (English) - "I think it's a good idea obviously, safety-wise. We went through a video briefing at the last race and it does look good. But it's going to have to be different for every driver and it's going to be quite difficult to get it right because every driver's shoulders are different. They've made on for big drivers, small drivers and tubby drivers but every driver has got different shoulder blades and everything so it's got to be different for every driver. So it's going to take quite a bit of work I think." 8. BUTTON TALKING WITH MECHANICS AT MCLAREN FACTORY 9. (Soundbite) BUTTON (English) - "My goal isn't just to be in Formula One - it's to be a world champion as well which is what you need. There's no use aiming for Formula One because when you get here you say - I'm here, let's relax, bring in the money and enjoy myself. I'm not like that. I want to be world champion and be one of the best drivers in the world. So I'll be pushing on for many years yet." 10.
