Button does not fly

Jenson Button was due to race a BAR-Honda against a powerboat at London City Airport on Saturday, the stunt being organized by Britih American Tobacco but we hear that when it became clear that a couple of Formula 1 journalists had been invited to attend, the Button management team decided that the stunt needed to be called off because they did not want Jenson talking to F1 scribes.

Daft.
