Jenson Button is turning Japanese | The Sun |Sport|Motorsport: JENSON BUTTON last night revealed he is turning Japanese in a bid to wrestle every last point from his next three exhausting races.
On Sunday, he faces Formula One's toughest test in Singapore — a circuit where the heat and humidity can go off the scale and even the fittest drivers wilt.
Button, 31, took time off from the debate over an �80million deal with McLaren or a possible move to Red Bull or Ferrari to give his verdict on the gruelling leg of the season, which also takes in the Japanese and Korean Grands Prix by October 16.
It is a real sweat racing in the Far East, so that is exactly where the 2009 world champion will live to ensure he is fully acclimatised.
The Frome flier, whose girlfriend Jessica is Japanese, has his work cut out chasing down Fernando Alonso's Ferrari for second place behind inevitable title winner, Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
Button explained: "For the next month I will rent an apartment in Tokyo with my girlfriend Jessica.
"I pretty much live there when I'm not at each of these next three races in Singapore, Japan and Korea. I never spend as many days in one place during the year as I do in Japan during September and October.
