Jenson Button Ready For McLarens New Set Up
The driver is hoping that the new set up will give him more success as he looks towards nexts weekends German Grand Prix.
The team looked to debut their version of the exhaust blown diffuser at Silverstone however it back fired due to technical issues.
Button managed to finish fourth and team mate Lewis Hamilton finished second however the driver admits with the new set up he will be able to keep up with the Red Bull team.
“We saw ourselves at Silverstone it’s not easy to arrive at a track and simply ‘switch on’ a new package,” said Button.
“It requires quite a bit of effort, so I think over the next few races we’re going to see a lot of the top teams further fine-tuning their refinements.
“So we can’t afford to stand still, and we’re not.
“I think we’ve perhaps punched above our weight at the last two races, which is great for us, but we’re not standing still.
“At the moment, we’re hopeful of taking the blown diffuser to Hockenheim to run it on Friday.
“We learnt quite a bit about it from the day at Silverstone, and I hope we’ll be in a position to get it working more effectively at the German Grand Prix.”
