Jessica Michibata has been an ever present supporter for Formula One ace boyfriend Jenson Button.

The 27-year-old Japanese model looked stunning wearing a strapless blue dress as she waited to see her boyfriend in action the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Showing her support: Jessica walks to the Marina Bay Street Circuit to see her boyfriend race
Wearing her hair back, she was a figure of fun during the walk, and showed no sign of nerves ahead of her boyfriend's race.
Instead, she was seen yelping with delight and smiling happily at photographers.
On Saturday she had to watch him settle for fourth place in the qualifying round.
Number one fan: Michibata is a regular fixture at Button's races
However, Button is still confident of a victory at Sunday's race.
He said: 'I found it a bit tough today; I didn't really feel comfortable with my car, the rear went away from me quite quickly, and I struggled to look after the tyres over a lap.
'I hope the balance will be better in the race than it was in qualifying. The high degradation around here will make it a tricky race, but I think we'll be okay. It's going to be tough for everyone on Sunday evening, but you can overtake around here. Starting from fourth means you can hope for the best – a win – but the pace just wasn't quite there for me in qualifying. I hope it's better in the race.'
Fingers crossed: Jessica will be hoping to see her boyfriend land victory in Sunday's race
While Button has been preparing for his big race this week, the pair have found time for a little fun in Singapore.
She was recently drenched as she made her way to the paddocks in Singapore to watch his first Formula 1 practice race on Friday, and she ending up changing her summery frock and sandals for a McLaren Mercedes team kit.
He tweeted: 'Absolutely chucking it down with rain here in Singapore. @jessybondgirl completely drenched = unhappy girlfriend!!'
They have also been seen walking hand in hand during any breaks from his racing heroics.
Big romance: The pair have been dating for over two years
