Button confident and motivated

Jenson Button, who returned from his Hawaiian vacation to get to work with his team in Woking, is confident he has everything he needs to succeed. Despite the warnings of former drivers, such as Eddie Irvine or Jackie Stewart, the English driver thinks he made the right choice by joining McLaren-Mercedes. He does not express any regret at having left Brawn GP, ​​which became Mercedes GP.

« Maybe by staying where I was, it would have been more difficult to win a second title, he says. Maybe I wouldn't have been so motivated. Being where I am now has given me renewed motivation. I feel more relaxed and more confident in my abilities and in my way of working with the team. »

« There is a lot of work to do to be ready for the first race “, he tempers. But the world champion is convinced that the Woking team has a great capacity for work. “ It's amazing to see how McLaren has turned things around in 2009. We have a lot of testing kilometers to go before I feel fully comfortable. But I think I can be 100% for the first race in Bahrain on March 14. »
