Recent rumours suggested Jenson Button could be in line for an expanded position within the Sky Sports F1 team, potentially stepping into a role currently held by Martin Brundle. The former world champion has now firmly rejected that idea. Button praised Brundle’s importance to the broadcaster and made it clear he sees no reason for any change.

“I am not positioned to replace Martin; he’s the man when it comes to commentary and insights,” Button wrote on social media.

The Briton added that his current level of involvement suits him perfectly, as he already balances several projects away from television.

“As much as I love jumping in when Martin is taking a well-deserved break, I wouldn’t want to do more as I’ve got enough going on!” the former F1 driver added.

Martin Brundle had already responded to the speculation himself, describing claims about changes to his schedule as “utter clickbait nonsense.” He also noted that he has worked a 16-race calendar for several seasons and continues under the same arrangement in 2026.

Away from broadcasting, Jenson Button remains active in several areas. He is an ambassador for Aston Martin F1 Team, competes in historic racing events and is involved in a range of business interests.

Sky Sports F1 confirmed its 2026 on-air lineup earlier this year, with Brundle, lead commentator David Croft and Ted Kravitz all retained, alongside contributors such as Bernie Collins, Jamie Chadwick, Nico Rosberg and Jacques Villeneuve.
