Lucky Strike BAR Honda's Jenson Button is keen to secure a podium finish at Silverstone as the team returns to their home territory for the British Grand Prix. "After the excitement of Magny Cours, where we had a good result," explains Button, "it feels great to be back in Britain to prepare for our home race. It goes without saying that it would be fantastic to achieve another podium this weekend.

"My home Grand Prix at Silverstone is always very special to me as I am extremely patriotic and it feels just like coming home. Last year we had a very good experience at the British Grand Prix, as the team and myself had a huge number of the fans, which was a great feeling."

Following an impressive test at Jerez, and an equally impressive race performance last weekend at Magny Cours, where the team secured their first points of the year, Jenson is in a positive mood.

"I love racing at Silverstone and we completed a very positive test there in June in preparation for the race. It's incredibly moving to drive in front of my home crowd, especially with the sea of Union Jacks down the start-finish straight. Most importantly, this is a weekend when the whole team get to experience the cars at a race weekend and share in our achievements, so I am very excited about the race and hope that we will be able to put on a great show for everyone."
