Jenson Button does not expect a sudden increase in performance at Honda Racing, despite the arrival of Ross Brawn as team principal.<\/p>\n
Brawn said he was impressed by what he found at Honda Racing since his arrival last week. Button thinks it would take until 2009 for the Japanese manufacturer to fully realize its potential and subsequently start winning races.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I think we will make a big step forward in 2008 compared to 2007, without it being really difficult, \u00bb Button said in an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live.<\/p>\n
\u00ab But we are not going to win races yet, and I don’t want people to think that will be the case. That is why I want to clarify things. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab The important thing is to start with a good car and make improvements at every race to get closer to Ferrari and McLaren. Ross will bring a lot in achieving this goal. If we have a competitive car by the end of next season, I will be very happy with the way 2008 has turned out, \u00bb he stated.<\/p>\n
\u00ab But I think that for the moment we must focus and do the hard work that will be profitable in the future. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Button stated that the arrival of Brawn meant that Honda no longer had any excuse not to become more and more competitive.<\/p>\n
\u00ab When I learned that Ross was going to become an integral part of the team, I was happier than I had ever been in this sport. It’s one of the best things that could happen to the team, \u00bb he said.<\/p>\n
\u00ab As Michael Schumacher said about Ross, he is the super brain of F1. If he can’t help us win a championship, then we don’t deserve to be here. Last season was very frustrating, \u00bb revealed the Brit.<\/p>\n
\u00ab But, towards the end of the year, we asked ourselves the right questions in terms of improving the car, but also in terms of personnel. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab We were lacking aerodynamic technicians, but now we have found them. I think we can achieve good results in the future and we will all work very hard to reach this goal, \u00bb he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
