Button hopes for improvement before Melbourne

Jenson Button had hoped his new Honda would be in better shape at the end of winter testing than it has done so far and now he faces the first Grand Prix of the season knowing he could have a tough time. However, the British driver who won his maiden Grand Prix last season is hopeful his team can make some progress at the factory before the trip to Melbourne.

"The car has proved reliable throughout pre-season testing and we have made improvements since the RA107 ran for the first time in January," Button said. "However, we still have some work to do off-track to ensure we can get the most from our package in the first few races."
