Overview
- Button wrote in his Jenson’s Journal column on Monday that he would “love to drive the Aston Martin Valkyrie around Le Mans one day” and added “perhaps we can make it happen.”
- The 2009 world champion officially retired after the 8 Hours of Bahrain in November 2025 but framed his comment as a potential one-off return rather than a full comeback to racing.
- The Valkyrie AMR-LMH was developed with input from Adrian Newey and is competing this season in the WEC Hypercar class with teams such as The Heart of Racing, which provides a practical platform for guest drivers.
- Button said the Indy 500 is not for him and described the Triple Crown as unlikely for his career, while naming Fernando Alonso as the modern driver most likely to complete that trio.
- No drive or contract has been announced and media coverage describes Button’s remarks as public intent; any Le Mans entry would require a formal seat offer or team agreement before becoming reality.
