Jenson Button arrives in Hungary keen to go one better than in Germany, intending to take his Honda Racing F1 RA106 to the podium.

"The Hungaroring and the city of Budapest are always places that I enjoy visiting," commented Jenson.

"I'm looking forward to the race and hopefully we can replicate the strong performance from last weekend with another points finish, and maybe even go one better," says Button. "Our new aero parts and a few of the other developments that we had in Hockenheim should also help us.

"The track itself is pretty physical because it's very twisty and bumpy, which combined with the high temperatures, make it a tough race for the drivers," adds the Briton. "However the hot conditions should suit our tyres as the Michelins seem to work very well in those temperatures."
