Jenson Button favorite at Barcelona?

However, this is the case and the World Champion's confidence capital is at its maximum. Winner in Barcelona last year, the Briton was able to establish himself in a team previously devoted to Lewis Hamilton and show that he has the build to retain his title of World Champion.

« The Spanish Grand Prix is ​​a race that I won last year, and I see it as one of my best victories of 2009, says the Briton. It's a relatively high-speed circuit, and one of the most fun to drive on, provided your car is working properly. »

« There are a few fast corners, like #9 and the final corner, but most of the track is pretty long corners where you really need the car to do the job. It is a circuit which rewards precision and punishes aggressiveness and nervousness. » A circuit which therefore fits Jenson Button like a glove, known for his clean driving and his gentle style, without unnecessary steering movements.

« If you have a car that tends to understeer, then you can expect a tough ride. Fortunately, our car seems to have very good balance when cornering at high speeds. This is probably the most impressive feature of the car. We worked well during pre-season testing, so I think we arrive well prepared. »
