What happened: Formula 1's official account shared a lighthearted clip of former driver Jenson Button making a run to the podium in Monaco, tied to Grand Prix race week in Monte Carlo. The post, captioned "built different," plays on the 78-lap distance and the physical demands of the street circuit. A reply joked that running the track may be easier than driving it to the finish without clipping the barriers.
