Jenson Button & Girlfriend Jessica Michibata Having Fun in St Tropez

This kind of post-race relaxation certainly beats a foil blanket and a Mars bar at the finishing line. 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.

The couple appeared closer than ever during their romantic pit stop before Button gets back in the driving seat for the European Grand Prix in Valencia a week on Sunday.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.Earlier they appeared to be enjoying the sunshine as they strutted along the exclusive Club 55 together hand-in-hand.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 sports car for £900,000.Over the weekend Button was pictured with a swarm of women surrounding him, showing he is still as popular as ever with the ladies.
