Upcoming two races very important, says Button
Jenson Button realises the upcoming two races at Spa-Francorchamps and Monza are very important in terms of car development. After these two races the F1 teams won't return to Europe until after the final race in Abu Dhabi.
Speaking about the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix Jenson Button said: “We come into the Belgian Grand Prix knowing that we have some catching-up do to; we didn’t have a particularly strong race in Hungary, and the whole team wants to get back to the front again as quickly as possible.
“While we’re optimistic that the bodywork rules clarification will close the gap among the top teams, and that both Spa and Monza should suit our package better than the Hungaroring, it’s still important that we regain the momentum we’d reached earlier this season.
“I love racing at Spa – it’s one of the truly great circuits, and a grand prix that I’d love to win. I didn’t have the best race here last year, when I was punted out at the top of the hill on the first lap, so that just gives me additional motivation to do well here.
“While I don’t think these two European races will be pivotal to the title fight, it will nonetheless be harder to introduce bigger upgrades to the car at the end-of-season flyaways, so it’s important for the whole team that we score well in both events.”
