Thats bar rather than B.A.R! On Saturday Jenson Button and Vitantonio Liuzzi turned up at the London nightclub 'Umbaba'. The two F1 drivers held a drinking and dance contest at the club and spend over £500 on vodka alone at the trendy bar.

"The two drivers turned up separately with groups of pals," an onlooker told the Daily Mirror. "But within half an hour they decided to have a drinking challenge. They both knocked back bottles of Grey Goose vodka but Jenson then moved on to cocktails. Vitantonio shied away from the mojitos though, so it was definitely one-nil to Jenson."

After the drinks came the dancing contest: "It was hysterical. They both staggered on to the dancefloor, but Jenson stunned his rival with his hilarious John Travolta moves. They were both taking it deadly seriously. There was a crowd of clubbers standing around them cheering and clapping."

"Jenson particularly likes grooving to a rock house mix of Jay-Z and Linkin Park. Vitantonio was finally forced to admit defeat when Jenson encouraged other partygoers to join his 'train' as he led them round the club in a conga. Jenson had about 12 people attached to his waist so in the end Vitantonio had to join on as a passenger!"

This wasn't the first time Button was spotted clubbing in London. Last week he was spotted with Red Bull Racing driver David Coulthard.
