Jenson Button celebrated his 200th Grand Prix in style on Saturday night with McLaren hosting a reception in his honour.

Leading paddock figures were in attendance, including Button's first Formula One boss Sir Frank Williams. "In those days he was quite good looking," joked the legendary team boss.

Martin Whitmarsh and Ross Brawn also paid tribute the man who delivered Brawn GP's title, while Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa, Paul di Resta and a raft of others joined in the celebrations.

During his speech Button thanked his father, joking that when he was told about the 200 party he immediately thought it was for his father's birthday.

Button made his debut with Williams at the 2000 Australian Grand Prix, and has notched up 10 Grand Prix wins, 7 pole positions, 4 fastest laps and the 2009 world championship.
