Honda may only be making one more major upgrade to this year's car in the summer before focusing completely on 2009, but Jenson Button believes the penultimate major improvements introduced at last week's Barcelona test will stand the team in good shape for this weekend's race.
"Our performance over the first three races showed a steady rate of improvement which was encouraging for the whole team and has given us renewed confidence in the car," Button said. "Although I was not able to complete much mileage at the test this week due to the weather, the team had three days evaluating the new upgrades, so I am confident that we are in good shape."
"The circuit here is very familiar so we will make the best use of our time on track to fine-tune the set-up of the car," he added. "We hope to be challenging for a top ten qualifying position again which would put us in position for a strong race."
