Button puts Brazilian gun scare behind him

Published Nov. 11, 2010 1:21 p.m. ET

Jenson Button is ready to move on from his harrowing gun scare in Brazil.

Armed men attempted to attack the armored car carrying the defending Formula One champion on Saturday when he left the track in Sao Paulo after qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Button said Thursday before the title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that he'd never had a gun pointed at him before. Button, his father, trainer Mike Collier and manager Richard Goddard were sped away from danger by their driver. Nobody was hurt in what appeared to be a robbery attempt.

He added, ''I've talked about it enough, you know? Let's move on. Let's get racing.''
