Button: Spa is just great!

02 September 2008

Jenson Button is excited to travel to Belgium this week for round 13 in the 2008 Formula One championship at Spa-Francorchamps. The Honda F1 driver is a big fan of the legendary track and prays for rain to get a better performance with his car.

Speaking about the upcoming Grand Prix weekend at Spa Jenson Button said: "All the drivers love going to Spa, and for me, it is one of the most beautiful circuits that we race on with fantastically green and lush surroundings. For a driver, the circuit has one of those layouts which has everything and gives you a real buzz to drive, just like Suzuka and Silverstone.

"Eau Rouge is a legendary corner and the feeling when you hit the bottom of the hill, the car touches the ground and you shoot straight back up again is amazing. It's a crazy corner in the dry and even more so in the wet. The weather can play a big part in the race weekend which is great for us as the car goes well in the wet. It can be raining at one end of the lap but completely dry at the other so you have to be ready and react quickly to whatever the weather throws at you."
