How old is Jenson Button?


The Brit was born  in Frome on January 19, 1980.


The 38-year-old was brought up around racing, with his father John a former Rallycross driver.



Button rose through the ranks in karting before winning the British Formula Ford Championship at the age of 18.


He became Britain's youngest Formula One driver when he earned a seat for Williams in 2000.



Why is he not racing in the British Grand Prix?


Button stepped down from his McLaren seat two years ago, becoming their reserve driver.


He took Fernando Alonso's place for the Monaco Grand Prix in 2017, after the Spaniard competed in the Indianapolis 500 on the same day.



Button ended his Formula One career in November, having previously raced for Williams, Bennetton, Renault, BAR, Honda and Brawn, the latter of which he won the world championship in 2009.


He has since joined the Japanese Super GT Series and the World Endurance Championship, and took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in June.

I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select.
