McLaren driver Jenson Button says he is positive for 2011 Singapore Grand Prix – Formula 1 news
McLaren driver Jenson Button has said that he is positive for the 2011 Singapore Grand Prix taking place on September 25 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Button added that Singapore is one of the races in the Formula 1 calendar, which he always loves to win. In addition, he stated that he is hopeful of having strong results in Singapore this weekend.
The Brit has two wins in the 2011 Formula 1 season so far. He had great race weekends in Canada and Hungary, where he successfully managed to win. However, he mentioned that he is hopeful of having the same sort of pace in the upcoming Grand Prix that he
showed at Monaco and Hungary.
Talking to reporters, Button commented, “It’s strange to have concluded the European season and still have six more races remaining. Personally, I love this end-of-year series of flyaway races – the circuits we visit are really diverse and, from a drivers’
perspective, they’re some of the best tracks on the calendar.”
He went on to mention, “I flew out to Singapore via Japan, so I’ve had the chance to spend a few days getting myself ready. Of course, for Singapore, we’ll revert to the slightly unusual European timetable to ensure that we’re as fit, alert and focused for
the night race as we would be for any other grand prix.”
The 31-year-old driver further added that after the Italian Grand Prix, he is positive that Singapore will be another strong race of the season for them.
The McLaren driver talked to the media and stated that he is satisfied with his MP4-26 car’s pace and the efforts of the Woking-based outfit during the races so far.
Button is aiming to show his best possible performance on the grid in Singapore this weekend. He finished his 2011 Italian Grand Prix at the second place after starting from the third position at the Monza racetrack.
After the Monza race, Button is placed at the third position with 167 points in the 2011 drivers’ championship.
Let’s see how Button performs in Singapore this weekend following his podium position in the 2011 Italian race weekend.
