After two good consecutive results in Japan and Russia with a fifth and a fourth place respectively, the 2009 world champion will have to face a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change in Austin.<\/p>\n
However, Jenson Button is not too bitter because he thinks the recent strong performances will be difficult to replicate in the United States. Indeed, he explains to Crash.net<\/i>: \u00ab In Japan, we found a good direction that we exploited up to Sochi, but I don’t think we will be as competitive here and I don’t believe fourth place is possible. I think [we can score] good points even if it’s more difficult for me with this five-place grid penalty. \u00bb<\/p>\n
During Friday’s tests, the Englishman was able to test new parts with a view to the development of next year’s car. However, he does not wish to project himself so far as to know if he will be part of the McLaren-Honda adventure and prefers to enjoy these special moments of automotive competition.<\/p>\n
He shows a certain philosophy: \u00ab I don’t really care, I’m just here to race, I enjoy it without wondering if it’s good or bad. I just appreciate doing what I do best, which is driving an F1. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
