question, how is that carjacking?
carjacking is where you force someone out of their car, and then proceed to steal it... the article says "someone approached his car"... big whoop?

Yeah big whoop that guys with guns tried to steal his car OR make an attempt at his life. Not even news worthy!
I bet his driver gave a better performance than Jenson did today.

then why don't they just come out and say that? i seriously hate the bbc.
Of course it's newsworthy, but not under a 'OMG JENSON BUTTON CARJACKED, NEARLY KILLED DEAD' headline that isn't at all factually correct.
Sure does make a profitable headline though.
Must be awful being so anally retentive, you must get bugged by so many little things in life.

you referring to me? yeah, i'm a bitter person most of the time.
Come on now its only a news headline, don't let it get to you.
That's not passion, that's just being a bunch of twats.
So coming from England apparantly means you know the passion that is within the Brazilians.
I learn something new everyday.
I think he meant he knew all about people being twats.
I know, but you don't have to come from England to know that, they're all over! 
Amen.
I read that as, being an Englishman he knows all about people being a bunch of twats about sport because of the football hooliganism that happens here.
But I still see your point

Firstly, the BBC's actual title was "Jenson Button unhurt after armed men threaten him", which seems pretty un sensationalist to me.
However, I do question their assertion that he was "targetted". Whilst it's very likely that the robbers, (because that's exactly what they were), were lying in wait in that particular location because they knew it was a route to the circuit, (and only pretty rich people can afford F1 tickets in Brasil), in order to rob people on their way to and from it, I find it hard to believe they were waiting for Jensen specifically. For one how would they know when he was likely to be passing by?
Secondly, this event has absolutely zero to do with the passion of the Brasilian nation for F1 as a sport. Armed robberies are widespread and occur on multiple occasions every day in Sao Paulo, (as does real car jacking). Apart from the fact that rich F1 fans are more likely to be targets than average people just walking down the street, this event has nothing to do with F1. Sao Paulo is a violent city. Violent crime is endemic there, (as it is in many other towns/cities in Brasil).

No it wasn't, at the time the headline was "Jenson Button Carjacked", the headline has now obviously been changed.
