McLaren's Jenson Button shows that he can still cut it in F1 after making a expert overtake on Lewis Hamilton during P2 at the Monaco GP!

Jenson's still got it! Watch as Jenson Button pulls off a cheeky overtake around Lewis Hamilton as the 2009 world champ returned to F1 action in Monaco.

Button drove an F1 car for the first time in six months in Thursday's practice session at Monte Carlo after being called in as stand-in for Fernando Alonso while the Spaniard competes at the Indianapolis 500.

And Button didn't let the session pass without incident, passing Hamilton into the chicane after their Mercedes and McLaren cars emerged side-by-side out from the tunnel.

Button finished the session a creditable 12th, matching team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne for speed and delivering a performance on his comeback which Sky F1's Ted Kravitz described as "flawless".
