Gent Jenson: Button wraps his girlfriend in a towel

After recording a personal best in the London Triathlon earlier this month, Formula One star Jenson Button treated his model girlfriend Jessica Michibata to some quality time on board a yacht in Saint-Tropez.

Look how fast I can go: Jenson and Jessica make waves on a jet ski in Saint-Tropez

After frolicking on jet skis in the Mediterranean, Brawn GP driver Button, 29, was given the tough job of rinsing the sea water off his 24-year-old girlfriend. He then wrapped her up in a black towel and tenderly kissed her cheek before fetching himself a beer.

Guests on the yacht were even treated to a jazz band hired from the exclusive Club 55 restaurant yesterday. It is unclear who owns the vessel, but Monaco-based Button would have no problems chipping in for the rental after reportedly offering to sell his Bugatti Veyron for £900,000.

Swarms of bikini-clad women have clustered around Button in France. One onlooker said: "Jenson was surrounded by female attention, but he didn't react."
