JENSON BUTTON has returned to the Williams F1 team – 21 years after first signing for them. The US-based investment firm purchased the team from its founder Sir Frank Williams in August, with Clarie Williams stepping down from her role as deputy team boss after the Italian GP last September. Button, 41, said: “I am so delighted to once again be able to say that I’ve signed for Williams. “Sir Frank Williams showed faith in me which I will be eternally grateful for and I am incredibly excited to have the chance to come back and help the team as it strives once more for success. “Jenson has always been a friend of the team and so it is great to welcome him back into the Williams family.
