Setting pulses racing! Jessica Michibata flashes her model figure in a nude bikini... while hunky husband Jenson Button goes shirtless on South of France getaway

He had a disastrous day at the British Grand Prix last weekend, but Jenson Button's wife Jessica Michibata did her best to banish all memories of Silverstone during a romantic getaway for the pair this week.

The 30-year-old model showed off her stunning figure in a tiny nude-coloured bikini as the pair enjoyed a day on board a luxury yacht off the South of France coast.

Jenson, 35, couldn't take his eyes off his wife of less than a year as she cooled off with a dip in the ocean.

Argentine-Japanese model Jessica made the most of the scorching temperatures as she stripped down to her tiny two-piece.

The nude and gold bikini flaunted her lithe frame, with the beauty tying back her blonde locks as she prepared to jump into the ocean.

After a refreshing dip, Jessica climbed back on board, revealing more of that model body as her skimpy bikini bottoms rode up.

Formula 1 driver Jenson looked besotted with his wife, as he joined her for a dive, showing off his muscular body and his intricate bicep tattoo in a pair of blue swimming shorts.

The couple were enjoying a few days of rest and relaxation as Jenson comes to terms with a difficult Formula 1 season with his team Mclaren.

The British driver failed to even complete a lap during the last race, on home turf at Silverstone, with the 2009 world champion due back behind the wheel again on July 26 in Hungary.

Finally breaking his social media silence four days after Silverstone, Jenson told his Twitter fans: 'Sorry for no tweets post British GP but it's taken me this long to get over the disappointment! PMA!, on to the next one. #JB22'

The sportsman has been keeping busy though, organising and participating in the Jenson Button Triathlon this weekend in Derby, which also saw sporty Jessica take part.

Jenson and Jessica tied the knot in Hawaii last December, with the model telling HELLO! magazine in April that the Formula 1 driver brought her to tears with their very personal vows.

Gushing about the big day, Jessica told the magazine: 'It was an incredible day. It was very private and intimate. We wrote our own vows because we wanted to say something that was personal to just the two of us.

'I designed my own dress - something very simple and modest - and I could hear my sisters crying at several points during the service.' 

The couple got engaged after six years together and headed down the aisle less than 10 months later. They met in a bar in Tokyo in 2008 and split briefly in 2011 owing to work commitments but reconciled only six months later.
