reminds me of the terrible joke my dad once told me.. 

- Name 3 motorsport stars named after places in scotland. 

-Sterling Moss;
Johnny Dumfries;
Air Toon Centre

Good stuff, especially considering the fact that Button's a Prost fan.

Better safe to ask than be gawked at for misspelling a name.

From a UK gossip site called Popbitch:

Fresh from second place in the Turkish Grand Prix this week, Jenson Button was spotted in a Notting Hill pub relaxing with friends.

A big F1 fan wandered over to get his autograph explaining this it was for her son, who was called Ayrton.

Jenson smiled and picked up a pen, just stopping to say "How do you spell his name?"
