BAR has made a step forward

Jenson Button says that the BAR-Honda team has made another step forward since Imola when the British driver put his car on pole position.

"We have done a lot of testing and hopefully we have made some good ground in the last couple of weeks hopefully we will be closer to Ferrari but wet or dry we are confident we have made a step forward. I think a good car should work at every circuit and the slow speed circuits it has proved it is fast and there is no reason why we cannot perform like we did in Imola."

Button said that he was happy with second in Imola but wants more.

"I was very happy with the result. Standing on the second step is great but I was looking up at Michael Schumacher and the top step is where I want to be."
