BAR warns against complacency

David Richards

David Richards has warned Formula One team BAR-Honda against complacency. The Brackley-based squad powered Jenson Button to his maiden-podium under a fortnight ago in Malaysia but that feat is now 'out of the way' and 'finished.'

Richards told Reuters: 'It was encouraging and a memorable occasion for Jenson. But now we've got to continue it in situations where we can be on the podium.'

The British media went wild in adulation for both BAR and 24-year-old Button after the searing Sepang race but DR insists that the team 'isn't there yet.'

English-born Jenson said he heads to Bahrain looking for 'more of the same.' But technical director Geoff Willis echoes the view of his team-principal. 'Our people will just go out and work even harder. They won't think 'phew, we've done it' because they still want more.'
