The retired Formula 1 racer Jenson Button has been disqualified from a triathlon… for speeding.

The 37-year-old was stripped of his 3^rd place podium finish when he was caught defying the speed limit on the cycling section of the race, which had reduced speeds in place for safety concerns.

Winner of the 2009 F1 championship, slowing down is not something that comes easy to Button. He said: "I finished third in age group so qualified for the world champs only to be disqualified for speeding in a go-slow zone. Ah well onto the next one!"
