‘Determined to get back in title hunt’ – Button
World Champion Jenson Button currently looks set to be handing over his crowd at the end of the season although the McLaren driver has promised to deliver his upmost performance, starting at Monza next weekend, following a disappointing conclusion to the Belgian Grand Prix.
Having been taken out of action by Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel at the Bus Stop Chicane, Button failed to score at Spa but is determined to produce an impressive result in Italy.
“Obviously, my non-finish at Spa wasn’t ideal for my championship aspirations, so I head to Monza next weekend determined to put myself back in the hunt for the title,” the Frome man began.
“Our pace over the whole weekend in Belgium was extremely encouraging – we’re developing the car at a very rapid rate and we’re learning more about it all the time, so I’m optimistic that we’ll be able to maintain that form in Italy next weekend.
“We still have some work to do to make sure the package we bring to Italy is perfectly suited to the track but I’m confident that our engineers have made some good steps forward with their understanding of our car, so we should be in good shape.”
