Please God, don’t let this be true.
A West Midlands motor racing fan has named his baby boy after new Formula One world champion Jenson Button and former world champion Lewis Hamilton.
Trevor Sutton and partner Mandy Smith, from Wyken in Coventry, decided this would be a great way to celebrate the achievements of the two British drivers.
Sutton has been a motorsport fan for 25 years and attended his first Formula One British Grand Prix in June last year.
Jenson Button
The 38-year-old said:
‘We had already thought about names and were going to name him after a friend, but when Button won the championship, we decided we should name him Jenson, to celebrate him winning. We already think he’s going to be into his racing, as we had a 4D scan and in one of the photos he looks like he’s holding a steering wheel!’
Lewis Hamilton
Baby Jenson Lewis will get his first taste of live motorsport at this season’s British Touring Car Championship meeting at Silverstone, when he will be just nine months old.
The proud father-to-be added: ‘If we were able to meet Jenson, that would be unbelievable. We saw Lewis at the British Grand Prix; we were in the crowd and he was giving a speech, so the opportunity to get the two Jensons together at the show would be amazing.’
I just want to cry…
Update: looks like Mr Sutton’s wish came true.
