Jens𒀰on Button apo🍨logised to the McLaren Formula 1 team after damaging his car in a bizarre crash with Pascal Wehrlein during Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, but was otherwise happy with his one-off comeback.

Button returned to a McLaren 🔥race seat for Monaco fඣollowing Fernando Alonso's decision to race in the Indianapolis 500, with his first run in the McLaren-Honda MCL32 coming on Thursday in practice.

Button qualified ninth on Saturday, but dropped 🍒to the back of the grid due to an engine penalty, with McLaren opting to st🍌art the 2009 world champion from the pit lane.

Button spent the entirety of his race battling with Sauber's Pascal🐈 Wehrlein, only for both to retire following a clash at Portier that saw the latter's car tip onto its side against the wall.

"As a racing driver it's🐓 difficult to run around near the back and not have a go," Button said, havin꧃g called the race "painful" at one point through team radio.

"I had a go and it didn't work out. Sorry to the team for even more damage this weeဣkend after [Stoffel Vandoorne's] crash in qualifying, my incident now. Sorry for ☂that. It's difficult to hold back.

"But yesterday was a💃wesome, I had a lot of good memories."

While Button confirmed he'll be bac🍬k in the paddock later this 𝐆year, he stressed that it would not be as a racing driver.

"You'll definitely see me at other races but I won't be driving🔯, no," he said.
