McLaren aiming to keep momentum in the upcoming Korean Grand Prix – Formula 1 news
Formula 1 team McLaren are aiming to keep momentum in the upcoming Korean Grand Prix, which is scheduled to be held on Sunday, October 16, at the Korea International Circuit.
The team driver Jenson Button is looking forward to another race victory this weekend following his Japanese Grand Prix triumph recently.
Button talked to the media and said that he has recorded best string of results in the 2011 Suzuka race since the start of the 2009 Formula 1 season, when he won six races out of seven rounds.
The Brit also mentioned that winning the race in Japan was one of the most satisfying and emotional victories of his career so far. In addition, he stated that he is really looking forward to carrying that momentum into this weekend at the Korea International
Circuit.
Button commented, “Turn 11 is pretty unique, it's a double-apex, heavily cambered left-hander, and the back-end of the track is quite interesting, too - there's only really one line through that sequence of bends, and, if you get one wrong, you can risk
losing out through the whole sequence.”
The Woking-based outfit driver did a great job at the Suzuka circuit recently. He won the race ahead of all drivers in Japan after battling it out with their close rivals including Red Bull Racing and Ferrari.
On the other hand, his teammate Lewis Hamilton is hopeful of getting back on the podium in the next race weekend. The team driver discussed the 2010 Korean race and added that he had a pretty good race at the Korean circuit last year, as he finished his
Grand Prix at the second position for the team.
The Brit mentioned, “You can tell that this track has been designed to be a good place for racing - Turns Four, Five and Six are a bit like the end of the lap at Istanbul Park, where you can attack on the inside and the outside and try and fight your way
past.”
Let’s see how both of the drivers Button and Hamilton perform in Korea this weekend.
