Formula 1 (F1) driver Jensen Button has tested his new car at a track in Spain.

While Button's car insurance for his super-speedy motor is likely to be high, normal drivers have no such excuse for not obtaining the right level of cover.

Button's new Brawn GP car surprised many at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, setting a lower than expected track time.

"Button's speed surprised most paddock observers," according to the Telegraph.

The newspaper notes that the new Mercedes V8 engine in the car could be the reason for the vehicle's impressive speed as it can give around 60 horsepower more than the Honda engine which Button used last season.

Button told Reuters that he believed the new car would be competitive against its rivals.

Button races for the Honda F1 team.

Car insurance from InsureandGo can provide low cost cover for everyday drivers in the UK, giving reassurance that any problems can be sorted out quickly.
