Jenson Button ready for Spa-Francorchamps

Jenson Button, the briton of the BAR Honda team, is very confident he can do better in the race than he did at Monza. The team is self-assured that the higher downforce requirements of Spa will suit the car more. They may be as both their cars performed a lot better at the Turkish venue where more downforce is required than at Monza.

Jenson Button "I have had mixed fortunes at Spa. For my first race there in a Formula One car back in 2000 I qualified in P3 which was great. Last year we qualified reasonably well, but during the first corner incident at the start of the race I lost my front wing and had to come into the pits. The car was then running well and I was looking good for a podium finish, but then a tyre blew out on the straight and I had quite a big accident.
However, I am really looking forward to going back there as I think that we should have a car that works well on this type of circuit. It's also nice to go back to Spa because of its history and it's a great drivers' circuit. It has certain types of corner that no other circuit in the world has, so I am looking forward to it and hope that the weather will be good to us this year."
