Button in Spa with pleasure

Jenson Button, if he is still the leader of the world championship Formula 1, has not frequented the catwalks for several weeks. The Briton, who won six of the first seven races of the season, only scored eleven points in the last four Grands Prix. But, with the arrival of the Belgian Grand Prix, Jenson Button hopes to find results more in line with his status as championship leader. “ Spa is one of my favorite circuits and offers conditions that give you everything you could want as a driver “, revealed the Brawn GP driver.

Even if he left Hag, Webber, Hamilton and Barrichello winning at the last Grands Prix, Jenson Button was lucky not to see just one strong rival emerge, but a group of vengeful drivers. The Briton can still see it coming, his lead remaining significant at the top of the championship standings. However, he confirms having known “ some tough races recently », qualifying the observation for the last Grand Prix. “ The car was very nice in Valencia and the pace was good when I could drive on a clear track »

In the meantime, Jenson Button is eager to start testing for the Belgian Grand Prix. And even if he did not manage to win, he would be able to enjoy the pleasure of driving on the Ardennes circuit. “ It's one of the fastest and most challenging circuits in the world, with hills, fast corners and long straights combining to give you great driving pleasure. »
