Jenson Button may have enjoyed ge꧋tting back behind the w𒆙heel of a Formula 1 car during practice for the Monaco Grand Prix on Thursday, but the 2009 world champion has no regrets over his decision to quit racing full-time.
Button announced last September that he would be stepping back from h𝓰is McLaren race seat for 2017, becoming the team's ambassador and reserve driver.
The Briton thought he had made his final F1 start in Abu Dhabi last November, only to be drafted ൲in for Monaco when Fernando Alonso secured a drive in the 101st Indianapolis 500 on the same weekꩵend.
Button turned down the opportunity to test the 2017 McLaren-Honda MCL3🔯2 last mꦜonth, with his first running in the car coming on Thursday in Monaco.
Button still🌄 managed to display a good pace through FP1 and FP2, finishing the day 11th-fastest and noting that it felt "natural" to be back in💟 the car.
However, Button insists he has no regrets about the decision to quit racing,🦂 adding that he has not missed driving an F1 car over the past seven months.
"No. I de🍌🌜finitely stepped away at the right time," Button said.
"I haven't missed driving a Formula 1 car. But today I really enjoyed it, more than I have for a couple of years. That's two things probabl💧y, because the cars are better to drive and because I haven't driven one for seven months.
"I enjoyed it. I tapped the barrier a couple of time✱s. It's good to know that I'm pretty much online and pushing the limits, but no damage so far. So that's good as well."
"It was funny when I did the install lap this morning, I had a little giggle to myself as I headed into Mirabeau. It's a lovely experi🐼ence for me to drive these cars.
"Have I missed it? I haven't missed it, no. But when yo🍎u jump in the car you definitely enjoy the moments that you have."
