Button predicts tough 2009 for Honda.

Formula 1 » Button predicts tough 2009 for Honda.

Friday, 4th July 2008

Jenson Button is reluctant to suggest that Ross Brawn's arrival at Honda F1 can turn the team into a contender next season.

"The atmosphere is pretty electric within Honda at the moment, [and] we are very excited about the future. I know it is easy to say when you are having a bad season, but a lot has changed in the team from last year - and, for sure, it needed to. Things are moving in the right way and we will definitely see the results in the future."

The team continues to develop the troublesome RA108 race by race, and will have further new parts for Silverstone this weekend as it attempts to banish memories of successive poor overall performances in Canada and France. Rubens Barrichello scored points in the unpredictable Montreal event, but both Hondas struggled to match the midfield pack at either round.

"There is a different front wing – front and nose - which is definitely better, plus a few other improvements," Button revealed, "Last week's test was a pretty positive test. I am happy with the car and the way it feels, but that mid-pack is so competitive.

"If you don't get the balance perfect every race weekend, if you don't get the maximum out of the car, you are not going to challenge for points and you are not challenge the middle group. That's the position we are in, but it just means we have to give it our all this weekend and get out heads down and concentrate on the important things."
